Chapter 367

Time passed unknowingly. I straightened my slightly sore back and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

It was already past eight oโ€™clock.

But Quentin and the others still hadnโ€™t arrived.

I furrowed my brow, wondering whether to give Quentin a call to remind him.

It was also possible that there was traffic on the way.

Hesitating, my phone suddenly rang.

It was Quentin.

I hurriedly answered the call.

As soon as the phone connected, Quentinโ€™s apologetic voice came through, saying, โ€œRalda, Iโ€™m sorry, but Kimora had something come up last minute and canโ€™t make itโ€ฆโ€

โ€œOh,โ€ I asked somewhat dazedly, โ€œWhy didnโ€™t you mention it earlier? Iโ€™ve been waiting here for almost two hours.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m sorry, Ralda. She just called me and said there was a sudden emergency at home. She also asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. Ralda, donโ€™t be angry, and donโ€™t blame her. Kimora is a very nice person. She is very sorry that she couldnโ€™t come. She was crying on the phone just now."

โ€œIs that so?โ€ I asked without much emotion.

Quentin was anxious: โ€œItโ€™s true, Ralda. Kimora didnโ€™t mean to stand you up. Please donโ€™t be mad at her, okay? Iโ€™m begging you.โ€

It seems that Quentin really liked the girl named Kimora.

I looked up and smiled, saying, โ€œI wasnโ€™t mad at her, itโ€™s okay, we can still make plans next time.โ€

โ€œAre you really not angry?โ€ Quentinโ€™s voice was cautious on the other end of the phone.

I said seriously, โ€œReally, the person you like, I also like, and the person you like must be the best.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re not angry. You scared me. I was really afraid you would be angry.โ€

โ€œNo problem, Iโ€™ve just been waiting in this restaurant for an hour or two; I have nothing to do when I go back.โ€

Actually, I felt a little unhappy when that girl stood me up like that.

I felt that she didnโ€™t value this meeting very much, so she didnโ€™t value Quentin either.

But in the face of Quentinโ€™s pleas and flattery, I couldnโ€™t get angry.

I just hope that girl really liked Quentin; otherwise, Quentin would be so heartbroken.

โ€œRalda, have you eaten anything? Itโ€™s already this late,โ€ Quentin asked with concern.

I looked at the empty table and said with a smile, โ€œHad dinner and ordered some dessert.โ€

Thatโ€™s good, Ralda. This time, I really did wrong you.

โ€œNext time, when I have made up my mind, I will treat you to a big meal.โ€

โ€œNo problem, we donโ€™t talk about these things as a family. Itโ€™s getting late, I have to go back, you should rest early too.โ€

โ€œOkay, be careful on your way back. Iโ€™ll come to see you later.โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€

I hung up the phone and sat on the chair blankly, feeling empty in my heart for a moment.

The protest in my stomach grew louder.

I sighed silently and, carrying the gift I bought, walked outside the private room.

However, as soon as I opened the door, a familiar figure was passing by in front of me.

It was Reynaldo.

I stiffened all over and stared at him blankly.

He glanced at me indifferently, with no expression on his face, as if he didnโ€™t know me, and then continued walking with the people accompanying him.

It wasnโ€™t until their group entered the adjacent private room that I came to my senses.

Whatโ€™s going on?

How come Reynaldo is here?

Did I just see that right? Was that Reynaldo?

But shouldnโ€™t he be having dinner with the people in the company at the Michelin-starred restaurant right now?
