Tiffany shook her head, saying, "Of course not. It was a coincidence that we came here for lunch. We didn't expect you to be here either."
Although it looked like they had shown up on purpose, it wasn't Mandy's fault this time. With a frown on his face, Alex called a waiter over and paid the bill. Then, he took his coat and Patricia's bag. It looked like he was planning to leave immediately after Patricia came out of the washroom.
Tiffany couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zander, there's no need to avoid Ms. Stewart like that if you don't have any feelings for her. The more you avoid her, the more suspicious you'll look."
Alex frowned but said nothing in response.
Suddenly, a scream erupted from the washroom. Tiffany and Alex looked over at the same time, just in time to see a terrified woman running out.
Alex went up to her and asked, "What happened?"
Pointing at the washroom, she answered, "They're fighting. The two girls inside are fighting…"
Before she could finish, Alex was already sprinting to the washroom. Tiffany was stunned for a few moments, but when she recovered, she promptly got up to follow Alex over.
The door had been kicked down by Alex. When Tiffany arrived at the door, the two women had stopped fighting.
Alex protected Patricia behind him and stared at Mandy, who was leaning on the basin. He asked coldly, "What have you done to Patricia?"
There was a large wet patch on Mandy's dress, but other than that, she seemed alright.
As to Patricia…
Tiffany paled when she glanced at her. Patricia was drenched from head to toe. Her hair was in a mess, and her buttons had fallen. There was a visible scratch across her neck as well.
What happened was evident. Whoever saw them would think that Mandy had assaulted Patricia. However, Tiffany didn't think that Mandy would've done that.
When Mandy heard Alex's interrogation, she chuckled coldly and shot back, "What have I done to her? Why don't you ask her what has she done to me?"
