23 Dinner Together

"I don't know, I only know that he is a man, that person is tall and well-built. I can't describe how his face looks because he's wearing a jacket cover. He was very discreetly dressed."

Loun remembered that no one in his family matched Eli's description, which meant that the Xier family's precious necklace was stolen.

"Okay thank you."

Eli nodded.

"Um, as thanks, can we eat dinner together?"

Loun's offer was kind but I'm sorry Eli doesn't like eating with people she just met, besides that Eli is already married. It is inappropriate to eat with other men. However, Eli must find a good reason so that Loun doesn't misunderstand.

"Sorry, Loun. No need to bother. Your necklace is back and look for the person who dropped it, in case he is a bad person."

"Thank you for your concern, my men will find him. As for your worries, don't worry, I won't bother." Loun paused and chuckled a little. "I'm sad if you refuse."

"But you're getting married soon and I have a husband. I'm afraid people will talk about us."

"No need to worry about that. We can eat at the Xier family's restaurant. The Xier family often eat together there."

Loun's job is CEO and he is very good at persuading someone. If that's the case, there's no reason for Eli to refuse.

"Okay."

"Where are you going?"

When Yorris sees Eli dressed up, he couldn't ask to hold back just to annoy her. Yorris felt uncomfortable, Eli dressed up just to go somewhere else even though it was very difficult for her to dress up.

Yorris's eyes narrowed, if she had dressed up Eli would want to seduce someone.

"To a restaurant. I have an appointment to have dinner with Mr. Xier."

"I didn't give you permission," Yorris said. He was angry because his thoughts turned out to be right. Yorris's face was very expressive seeing Eli with narrowed eyes.

Eli had expected it would turn out like that, therefore, it was time for the excuses that had been prepared to be used.

"Sorry, Yorris. In our agreement, it is written that I am free to do anything."

In his heart, Yorris cursed the contents of their contract. Yorris quickly straightened things out. Remember, Yorris straightened things out reminding Eli about her position and position.

"That's in a narrow sense, in a broad sense that we have to look like a normal couple for the plan to work. What do people say Yorris Jordan's wife went out with another man? Use your brain to think."

"We ate at the Xier family's private restaurant. If you don't like it, let's go together. I course plan to take you too."

Eli smiled. She had given Loun various reasons to refuse his invitation, including what Yorris had said. Eli's thoughts are conveyed at the last moment. Eli thought that if she invited Yorris to come along they would not cause gossip.

The way Yorris looked at Eli didn't change even though he agreed to accompany her. Eli's attitude has gone too far in accepting another man's invitation without Yorris' knowledge. After that Eli must be punished.

"Jean, do you think Loun likes Eli?"

Yorris deliberately invites Jean to follow them. Yorris reasoned that he was lazy to drive, even though Yorris was going to use Jean as a scapegoat so he wouldn't be seen to be holding Eli back.

Don't get me wrong, even though Yorris likes Eli he doesn't want to be seen clinging to Eli like a parasite.

"Well... Mr Xier it seems interested you, Sir."

Yorris choked on drinking water. It is wrong with Jean's thinking. Yorris intended to corner Eli, trying to find the location of her mistake, but at that time it was Yorris who was shocked.

Yorris rubbed his mouth in exasperation. "Don't talk carelessly. Once again I hear you talk like that, I'll fire you."

"Yes Sir," Jean said obediently.

Jean couldn't stop thinking, Yorris and Loun's closeness was normal, it's just that Loun's way of getting along with Yorris clearly shows something else. Jean assumed Loun had a strange interest in Yorris.

"But..."

"Shut up." Yorris was willing to look in the back seat only to give Eli a sharp look. It's enough just to stop there, Yorris could already guess what Eli would say.

"You guys misunderstood. He often flirts with other people. I happen to be one of those people."

"Are they all boys?"

"Everybody, boy, and girl," Yorris answered Eli's question.

Eli nodded in understanding, "that means he's bisexual," said Eli innocently.

Jean's concentration on driving the car was slightly broken because of Eli's words. That was too spontaneous and sudden.

"Something is wrong with your brain."

Eli pouted, really there was nothing wrong with her thinking. Yorris can say that because he didn't know the information that Eli got from Cindy.

"We have arrived."

"You come with us." Yorris simply made a gesture that Jean immediately understood.

Eli was not comfortable with Loun if he invited two people at once. Considering that the person Yorris invited was Jean, in the end, Eli agreed. After thinking about it, it's okay to invite Jean.

"Good night Eli. Hey Yor, it turns out you're coming too."

"Yo."

Yorris returned Loun's greeting while raising his hand. It feels weird when an ex-boyfriend's husband-to-be is a friend of himself. Well... Yorris and Loun weren't close.

They don't see each other often although are still friends. However, Yorris does not hate or hold grudges against Loun. Yorris's anger was still aimed at Cindy.

They would have married if Cindy wanted Yorris. The wedding plans were ripe, the only thing missing was Cindy's approval to have a wedding. In the past, Cindy had accepted Yorris's wedding invitation and even had an engagement ring on her ring finger.

Yorris didn't care whether Loun seduced Cindy or not, judging by Cindy's authoritarian attitude, it must have been the woman who determined everything.

Cindy is just that amazing.

"Then who is this?"

"Introduce Sir, I am Jean, bodyguard Miss Eli."

The two of them shook hands. While smiling politely Loun said, "Please sit down."

"Thank You."

Eli hopes the dinner goes well.
