Chapter 191
Chapter 191
Lance wanted to do his work and I left his office. Anthony actually asked me to meet him in the mall, bu
t he
texted me an hour ago.
I didn‘t know that if Anthony Smith was still in the mall or not. But I hope to see him again.
The instinct told me that Anthony Smith isn‘t some normal neighbour. He
was Lance Mason‘s neighbour in Denmark. And now that we were in California, he was still his
neighbour.
I knew Lance Mason will have his men guarding outside of this mall, but not inside of the mall.
So, I was not afraid that Lance Mason would know I met Anthony Smith
here.
I walked around in the mall and I couldn‘t seem to find where Anthony Smith was.
I pulled out my phone and texted him.
Tasked: Where are you? I am out here, come now.
Anthony Smith replied: I thought you said that you couldn‘t come out?
Treplied: Just come and meet me. I don‘t have much time.
Lance Mason wouldn‘t let me out for too long. He will come and find me after two hours.
Lance Mason didn‘t like me being social
with any other man. If he finds out that I met another man here, wouldn‘t be able to sleep tonight, but th
en, he might ask for my permission again? Hmm.
Anthony Smith asked me to go up
to the 3rd floor and meet him at a café that is near the elevator. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
When I reached the café, I saw that he was already sitting inside the café.
He waved his hand at me and said, “It is difficult to meet you, you know?”
I smiled and said, “That‘s how my life is.”
Anthony ordered me a latte when I just sat down.
“How do you know that I like latte? You know me well.” I said, acting like! was being casual.
Anthony pushed his glasses up with his finger. He looked like a gentleman but I knew not all gentlemen
are kind.
“You must be joking. I don‘t know you that well. It was because my ex–
wife likes to drink latte. So, I order you a cup of latte, but if you don‘t like it you can
change another one.” He said and waved at the waiter.
I quickly waved at the waiter and told the waiter it‘s okay.
“I like latte too. I didn‘t expect that you were married. I thought you were single.”
“I was married for a few years. But unfortunately, my wife died because of illness.” Anthony said and he
looked upset. Looks like he loves his wife very much.
“Sorry for bringing that up.” || apologized.
He shook his head and said, “It‘s okay. It‘s in the past.”
We sat face to face in silence and that was very awkward.
“You didn‘t ask me out to just talk, right? We don‘t know each other, what can we talk about?”
He shook his head and said, “Of course not.”
“What do you want to talk about then?”
He looked at me and said, “Do you remember someone whose name is Rupert Robinson?”
I nodded and said, “He worked with Lance Mason
before. But didn‘t end up good. What I know is that he is in the jail now, again.”
I knew by instinct that Anthony Smith wanted to talk about Lance Mason with me.
“You didn‘t mention that the both of you had worked together before.” Anthony Smith said.
