Chapter 49 Embarrassed Encounter


    "What?" E thought she had misheard.


    Seeing her surprised look, Daniel was disappointed, because if his guess was right, then E would not


    have this expression.


    Daniel lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice, "Nothing, I was just joking."


    "Joking..." E was still confused.


    But Daniel had changed the subject:" E, what would you like to eat? I have ordered three dishes just


    now. You can eat with me. If you think it is not enough, you can order something else."


    Daniel handed her the menu, E shook her head and said no, then she went on to say, "I''ll pay the bill


    later! You paid for the coffeest time..."


    He couldn''t agree with her consumption way. Daniel said with a smile, "You don''t have to be so


    meticulous about expense with me. Do you think I don''t even have the money to buy you a meal? Then


    it’s too embarrassing for me as the director of the Design Department"


    E exined hurriedly: "Director, don''t mistake me, I didn''t mean that! I just think that we are


    colleagues and also superiors and subordinates, so it is better for us to pay separately."


    For Daniel, her words were like a clear line she drawn between them; his hand froze immediately as he


    was picking up the cup. He looked at E for a long time and could not say a word.


    Daniel didn''t look well. After he recovered, he took a sip of water, then put down the ss.


    He sighed:" You don''t have to turn me down so early. I told you that I would wait for you till you have


    settled yourst rtionship."


    E didn''t know how to reply at the moment- She felt that he would be hurt if she said more polite


    words; so she smiled at Daniel and then remained silent.


    After the waiter had served the food, both of them ate quietly.

    At this moment, Benjamin came out of a private room with Scarlett after paying the bill. When they


    walked pass the public area, they immediately noticed E and Daniel sitting by the French window.


    Scarlett snorted:" Benjamin, you see how lonely E is. She has gotten a new lover so soon after your


    divorcement."


    They were not far from E and Daniel－so Scarlett was intended to have E heard her words. At the


    moment, Benjamin can''t even pretend that he didn’t notice them.


    But this is a public ce after all. He didn''t want to have a quarrel with E.


    Benjamin shot a cold nce at Scarlett, and instantly tore her hands away from his arm.


    His sudden alienation made Scarlett''s eyelids jump faintly. She realized that her words had upset


    Benjamin.


    At the moment E was looking at Benjamin and Scarlett, watching her ex-husband and his mistress


    behave closely, she suddenly lost the appetite and put down her fork.


    Daniel looked coldly at handsome and elegant Benjamin, then he swept skimpily d Scarlett－ a hint


    of disdain appeared in his eyes and he didn’t hide it.


    From the words of Scarlett, Daniel has guessed out Benjamin and Scarlett’s identities.


    He ignored them, and said gently to E:" E, look, you have lost weight recently. Come on, have


    more beef."


    Man’s intuition told Benjamin immediately that this man with outstanding appearance and extraordinary


    temperament likes E!


    His already suppressed anger ignited in an instant. Benjamin walked toward E and said with a touch


    of sarcasm:" E, it''s such a coincident to meet you here. who is he? Why don''t you introduce to us?"


    Before E could reply, Daniel stood up and stretched out his right hand," Hi, I am a friend of E. My


    name is Daniel."


    Benjamin looked at Daniel''s outstretched palm, he shook Daniel’s hand out of polite but without any


    expression.


    "Hello, my name is Benjamin; I am E''s ex-husband. I don’t recalled E had mentioned you before."


    The sarcasm in Benjamin''s eyes was obvious.


    Daniel looked into his eyes and said," You said E is your ex-wife, so it’s normal that you don’t know


    her new friend."


    "Oh, E, this friend of you is interesting. How could he not even know that you detest beef the most? It


    turns out that you two are not that close..."


    His words made Daniel look a bit embarrassed. E remained silent in such an awkward situation.


    Benjamin felt bored for the moment, so he said," you two take your time; we are leaving."


    Scarlett, who was awkwardly standing nearby, followed him quickly. She was annoyed at Benjamin


    because he did not take the initiative to introduce her to the man named Daniel just now－she was not


    a shady mistress now!


    After they left the restaurant, E looked at Daniel and forced a smile:" Sorry about that..."


    Daniel sat down, looked at her intently, then said apologetically:" Sorry, I don''t even know what’s your


    favorite food."


    She replied," It''s normal that you don’t to know. Because I have never told you, and you have never


    asked."


    At the moment, there was a ray of hope in his eyes. Repressing his excitement, he asked seriously:"


    E, do you really have divorced him?"


    looking at Daniel’s hopeful expression, she hesitated for a second; but since she did have divorced


    Benjamin, so there’s need to hide the fact anymore; she nodded her head.


    Her affirmation made Daniel so excited that he hold one of her hands and said," Congrattions! You


    are free now! E, please don''t reject my pursuit! Promise me?"


    Facing with this sudden confession, E was stunned for the moment.


    This scene was happened to be seen by Charles, who had just returned from a nearby restaurant with


    a high-end lunch box.


    Charles frowned slightly and thought to himself that since E had be Boss Hill''s lover, how could


    she still be involved with Daniel?


    Judging from Daniel''s expression, he was very fond of E.


    Thinking of this, Charles quickened his pace. He needed to hurry back and report this to Boss Hill.


    Aiden had been working with a gloomy face since he arrived at thepany this morning, and had not


    eaten lunch yet.


    ***


    Ten minutester, Charles arrived at the president''s office.


    When Aiden noticed that Charles have put down the lunch box on the tea table but still stood there, he


    looked up and asked, " What else? "


    Charles was in a predicament; butpared with Boss Hill being cheated on, it’s nothing for him to be


    a snitch.


    "Boss Hill, when I walked passed a Hong Kong-style restaurant just now, I saw Miss Lin and Daniel


    having lunch together..."


    Aiden put down his pen in an instant. He said with a cold face, "Get to the point."


    Charles became a little nervous inside; he said quietly," I saw Daniel held Miss Lin''s hand."


    After that, he didn''t get a word from Aiden for a long time.


    Just when he thought he was making an unnecessary move, Aiden suddenly said angrily," Send E


    here!"


    "Yes, Boss Hill."


    Charles was terribly nervous when he walked out of the office. He felt more strongly that Miss Lin was


    really special for Boss Hill.


    ***


    Half an hourter, E arrived at Aiden''s office.


    At the moment, Aiden was standing not far from her and staring at her－the rage in his eyes was


    getting increasingly heavier, looking at this woman with an innocent expression, he couldn''t wait to


    punish her severely!


    Action precedes reason; looking at the fearful man walk toward her quickly, she was so scared that she


    attempted to run toward the door but she was easily seized around the waist by the tall figure behind


    her...


    She said fearfully," Aiden, let me go! What''s wrong with you?"
