Chapter 1792
[ 639 words ]
Upon spotting Dane and Claire, he walked straight toward them.
Dane and Claire noticed him approaching right away.
Dane gestured for him to come over.
“Sit.”
Dane directed Lincoln to take the seat next to Claire.
Lincoln was completely bewildered.
Neither of them had finished their food. Lincoln was confused-had the boss
ordered too much and called him over to help finish it?
Well, there were definitely perks to working overtime. His boss was always thinking of him.
“Lincoln, you haven’t had dinner yet, right? Why don’t you join us?”
Claire’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft.
Since Lincoln’s girlfriend was seated a fair distance away, there was no way she could overhear them.
“Thank you, Claire.” Lincoln didn’t immediately accept, glancing first at his boss. Dane signaled a waiter to bring an extra set of silverware.
Lincoln grew even more confused.
What was going on? Since when did Mr. Green enjoy having a third wheel crash his dates?
“Eat up while you can,” Claire advised him gently.
Lincoln just blinked.
What was wrong with these two tonight?
For the next few minutes, they all just sat there eating, while the sound of a couple flirting at a nearby table drifted over.
Wait. Lincoln suddenly realized the voice behind him sounded incredibly familiar. He instinctively turned his head to look.
Since it was the woman he slept next to, Lincoln recognized her instantly.
The girl leaning against another man’s arm, whining flirtatiously, was none other than his girlfriend the same girlfriend who had told him she was going shopping with her best friend and spending the night at her place.
Because Bianca was about to finish her master’s degree, she occasionally stayed over at Lincoln’s apartment.
However, Bianca had always insisted they not officially live together, claiming that girls who moved in with men too early lost their value.
She said her family was strict, so she could only stay with him for a couple of days at a time.
Most of the time, Bianca claimed she went back to her campus dorm.
Lincoln had never seen anything wrong with that.
In fact, he thought a girl like Bianca was a rare find.
In this day and age, people jumped into relationships quickly, and moving in
together was usually just the natural next step.
Hardly anyone cared if a relationship was actually heading toward marriage anymore.
Open relationships and casual hookups were everywhere.
But Lincoln was a fairly traditional man.
He cherished and pampered Bianca, genuinely believing she was a self-respecting, pure-hearted girl.
He never imagined she’d be putting on a completely different performance for another man.
Which one was the real her?
Could he have mistaken her for someone else?
Maybe it was her sister, Rainey White?
Whether it was Rainey White or Cloudia White, as long as it wasn’t Bianca-he could accept it.
“Lincoln?” Claire called out to him softly.
Lincoln snapped back to reality.
Over at the table, Bianca was currently discussing with the rich guy whose place they were going to sleep at tonight.
Lincoln felt a surge of pure rage rush to his head, and he abruptly shot up from his chair.
“That hotel from last time was just okay. Your villa is way more comfortable… especially the bed in the villa-“
It wasn’t just Lincoln; even Claire’s ears burned just hearing that.
Lincoln had iterally considered giving up à career-defining overseas assignment just for Bianca He had been pouring his heart into planning their future, and for what?
*
“Bianca!” Lincoln fought the urge to slam his hands on the table and instead just shouted her name across the room.
Bianca violently jumped, utterly shocked to hear Lincoln’s voice in a high-end restaurant like this.
She had always assumed Lincoln couldn’t possibly afford to eat at a place like this.
So, when she snapped her head in the direction of the voice, her heart hammered in panic, yet she still desperately tried to convince herself She had misheard fo FindNovel.net
That is, until she made direct eye
contact with Lincoln, his billionairet and a young woman, all elbet
staring right back at her!
