"Alright. But I had already made dinner plans with Helen, if you're treating, let's all go together."
Elara Don spoke expressionlessly.
"Mr. Hawke, do you mind if I join?"
Helen threw a flirtatious glance at Cole Hawke.
Cole Hawke looked at her, somewhat disdainfully.
His face was full of reluctance.
How blind could she be not to notice?
He just wanted to have dinner with Elara Don alone, not with this eyesore tagging along.
But...
"Fine, let's go then."
Oh well, at least Elara agreed to have dinner with him.
As for the huge third wheel, he could just ignore her.
Cole Hawke opened the car door.
Elara Don and Helen exchanged a glance, a silent signal only they understood passed between them.
"Where do you want to eat?"
Once in the car, Cole Hawke fastened his seatbelt and asked.
"Dister Club." Elara named a place.
"Eating at a club?" Cole was slightly taken aback.
"Yeah! Dinner followed by a celebration, why not?" Elara's eyes flickered slightly.
"Alright."
