Tessa Caldwell sat in the car, the door was closed, and the soundproofing was excellent. She didn't hear what Faye and Zion Caldwell were saying.
But she could feel it; Faye had struck Zion down with just one sentence because Zion's face was as dark as a pot bottom.
She was extremely excited and extremely curious about what Faye had said to Zion, a single sentence causing such a huge effect.
The car left Caldwell Residence and cruised steadily on the road. Tessa couldn't hold back any longer and curiously asked, "What did you just say to him?"
Faye, focused on driving, glanced at her lightly, his gaze deep, then turned his head back to continue driving, casually throwing two words at her: "Guess?"
Guess? How is she supposed to guess? Guessing what someone might say is like finding the most beautiful hair on someone's head, isn't it? Hard! She wouldn't guess!
Even though she thought this way, Tessa still replied, "You definitely said a million is too little, you want a hundred million."
Faye raised an eyebrow slightly, "If someone gives you a hundred million, would you get a divorce?"
"Haha, if someone gave me a million, I'd get a divorce, three months later!" Tessa laughed twice at her own humor.
She thought Faye would laugh too.
But Faye just gave her a light glance, his gaze icy, making Tessa's spine feel cold, and her throat a bit itchy, unable to resist wanting to sneeze.
She touched her nose, did she say something wrong? Is that why he changed his face?
"By the way, thank you for earlier." She wanted to lighten the mood.
Faye responded with a light "Mm."
He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, his deep eyes looking ahead, as if in thought.
"But, I still want to say, you, I clearly reminded you yesterday, and you were still late today. You're really something."
"Mm."
What does that mean? She was complaining, and he reacted like this, acting all mysterious, hmm hmm humph.
Tessa leaned back in her seat, "But given that you did well earlier, I'll forgive you."
"Mm."
"Is 'Mm' your automated reply?"
"Mm."
"..." Tessa was deeply frustrated, her mouth twitched... then she closed her mouth.
Sure enough, heaven is fair, giving you a stunning face, it must give you a perverted and twisted soul.
After a moment of silence, she noticed the direction the car was heading was not the way home.
Initially deciding not to speak to Faye for the time being, Tessa had no choice but to first open her mouth and ask Faye, "Where are we going?"
"To eat." Finally, it wasn't just a 'Mm'; it seems the mood switched from cloudy to clear.
The car stopped in front of an Italian restaurant; it was a rather grand Western restaurant in Imperial City, with lavish and luxurious decor, yet still elegant and fresh. As for the food inside, there's nothing most expensive, only more expensive.
She grinned, "Faye, did you stand me up today and want to compensate, so you're treating me to a fancy meal?"
Faye lazily glanced at her sideways, the curve of his mouth a bit sinister.
Tessa's intel senses suddenly went on high alert, inexplicably feeling something was not quite right. Where was it not right? She suddenly understood, was he intending for her to treat him to a meal here?
No way!
This place is expensive, she can't afford it.
