Chapter 550
Originally, it was meant as a joke, but Maxwell Saxon unexpectedly nodded seriously: “You two really do look alike p>
“That’s quite a coincidence.” After a brief silence, Scarlett Yates forced an unnatural smile onto her lips.
She wondered if it was just her imagination.
Upon learning that she resembled Maxwell Saxon’s friend, whom he still thought of fondly, Scarlett found his gaze on her somewhat strange.
It seemed as if he was looking at someone through her.
That gaze was filled with nostalgia.
Maxwell called over the waiter to pour Scarlett another glass of mango juice, and though she intended to refuse, the sweet aroma changed her mind and she accepted it silently.
She drank it slowly, in small sips, and halfway through, she suddenly raised her head.
Maxwell was watching her.
He watched her with a curious gaze, having been interested ever since she started drinking the mango juice.
His gaze made her uneasy, she felt exposed under it, and after meeting his stare for a few seconds, she lowered her head again to finish the remaining half of the juice.
The restaurant’s mango flavor was so authentic and the juice was made so purely, that Scarlett soon finished her second glass.
Seeing Maxwell call the waiter again to order another glass, Scarlett felt embarrassed: “Young Master, don’t order any more, I’m done drinking p>
Maxwell raised an eyebrow: “If you like it, you can have another p>
Scarlett placed the empty glass on the table and shook her head, “I can’t drink anymore, it’ll become too overwhelming p>
“Fair enough, the main course hasn’t started yet, drinking too much isn’t good either p>
As Maxwell showed no signs of discussing business with her, Scarlett grew impatient and was about to urge him when suddenly a familiar voice reached her from behind.
The woman’s voice was very pleasant: “I knew if it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have come looking for me p>
Soon, another familiar voice sounded, low and raspy, full of allure: “Pearl, do you really see me as someone so inconsiderate p>
“Huh Pearl Simmons’ charming laughter suddenly shifted tone as if she’d discovered something surprising, paused for two seconds, then said: “Is that your brother and Scarlett? I didn’t mistake them, did I p>
Then, quick footsteps sounded from behind her.
An elegant, enchanting fragrance wafted from behind, and the next moment, a bright and beautiful figure appeared in Scarlett’s line of sight.
Pearl Simmons wore a very feminine outfit, her lively face like the most shining scenery of spring, instantly capturing attention.
Her delicate and exquisite features showed no flaws even under strong light.
Her alluring eyes were full of surprise, she first looked at Scarlett, then Maxwell, and finally, an elegant smile appeared on her lips, warmly greeting them: “It really is you two, I’ve been watching from the back and thought I saw wrong, Maxwell, Scarlett, what a coincidence, didn’t expect you both to dine here p>
Maxwell greeted confidently: “Pearl, long time no see, you’re just as beautiful p>
Hearing this, Pearl seemed very happy, she laughed with her hand over her mouth: “Maxwell, long time no see, you always know how to charm people p>
After speaking, she turned her gaze to Scarlett: “Scarlett, I’ve been telling Matthew to bring you out to meet me sometime, didn’t expect to run into you here p>
