Chapter 324
It was nighttime. Elizabeth hit up a restaurant solo. The place was dead quiet, and from the twentieth floor, Lisbonโs night scene was vibrant. She sliced a bit of steak, popped it in her mouth, and thought about her day with Alexander. It made her feel oddly chill.
โOh honey, Mr. Gotty, donโt you know me by now? Iโm the most loyal al around. If Mr. Gettyโs into me, then Iโฆโ A sugary voice drifted over to Elizabeth.
She glanced up and saw Kieran with some chick, all cozy and about to sit down. Kieran, you dirtbag. You still claim Alexanderโs sleaziness ainโt your fault. Birds of a feather, man, Elizabeth thought.
โMr. Getty, whatโs she got that I donโt? Arenโt I a better fit to be the face of Getty Group?โ
Elizabeth zoned out, resting her chin on her hand, half-listening to the girlโs whining. Looks like sheโs gunning for the spokesperson gig. She must be talking about Lila, right? Lilaโs the top dog; no oneโฆ
โGet lost.โ Kieranโs grumpy voice cut through.
Elizabethโs eyes lit up a bit.
The girl was stunned. โYouโฆ think you are? Get lost.โ Kieran snapped.
The girl was baffled and whined, โWhy are you flipping out?โ
โYouโre not even close to Lila. You think you can compete with her? Kieran gave her a once-over and sneered, โJust cause weโre having a meal, you think youโre special? Get lost.โ
After that, the girl finally got it. โItโs โcause I dissed Lila. But I didnโt say much! Just asked what makes Lila better. Does Kieran really need to blow up like this? He just tells me to scram! Too much! Does having cash mean he can do whatever he wants?โ she pondered.
She bit her lip, glared at Kieran, and started to cry, โFine, Iโm ouโฆโ
Kieran sighed, looking annoyed, and scratched his head. He grabbed a cup, about to drink, when he heard Elizabeth laughing.
Kieran froze. โElizabeth?โ
He quickly walked over to her.
Elizabeth was munching on her steak. โWhat?โ
โWhat are you doing here?โ Kieran looked at her, surprised.
Elizabeth glanced up at him, noticing his flashy suit jacket in an elusive color. The collar of his white shirt was smeared with lipstick.
โEating,โ Elizabeth said flatly.

Kieran grinned. โElizabeth, can you do me a solid?โ
โIโm useless, canโt help,โ Elizabeth shot back immediately.
Kieran groaned. โI havenโt even told you what I need, and youโre already saying no?โ
โYep, Iโm useless,โ Elizabeth kept at it.
Kieran sighed. โIโll buy you dinner and a bag!โ
Elizabeth perked up, interested.
Kieran clasped his hands together. โPlease, Elizabeth. Is Joseph planning to work with Lila?โ
โJosephโs thinking about it, but I donโt know if itโll happen,โ Elizabeth answered honestly.
โDid you set it up?โ Kieran asked.
Elizabeth just made a sound in response.
Kieran was speechless.
โWeโre tight. Why wonโt you help me?โ Kieran whined.
