420 Show You the Scenery


    “Is Cedric that petty? Isabe and I went shopping in the afternoon. Now that we’re hungry, we will eat together!” Hands on hips, Jane fiercely said, “They are not dating and are not talking about business secrets. Why can’t I go up? I will pay for the portion I eat myself, okay?”


    As she spoke, Jane held onto Isabe and said arrogantly, “Let me tell you! If you don’t let me go up today, Isabe won’t go up either. Let’s see if Cedric will punish you two stubborn guys who are not flexible at all.”


    Isabe also said, “I request to go upstairs with Jane. Otherwise, I don’t want to see Cedric.”


    Peter frowned slightly and gave Joey a look. Joey went upstairs for a moment, and then he immediately came down to whisper a few words to Peter. Peter stood up straight. “Alright,dy, you can go up with Ms. Isabe, but Gerry absolutely cannot.”


    After a pause, he looked at Isabe and said, “Mr. Cedric said that although he is treating tonight, Ms. Isabe, you have something to ask of him after all. If you really don’t want to see him, just don’t go up.”


    Isabe frowned and said to Gerry, “Then please wait here. Jane and I will go up.”


    Gerry immediately shook his head, “Mr. Joseph asked me to follow you. I have to protect you closely.”


    Jane immediately gave Gerry a flirtatious look. “Don’t worry, Gerry. Isabe has me by her side. I, Jane, have protected her for nearly twenty years. Do you understand? When I protected her, you were just a little boy.”


    Gerry’s face darkened. “Miss Jane!”


    .....


    “Alright, I am just joking!”


    Isabe smiled and interrupted their conversation. In fact, Jane was right. Jane had protected Isabe more than once since they were young.


    Today, because Isabe came with Jane to this dangerous date, Isabe really had a lot of confidence, so sheforted Gerry and whispered, “You know what Jane is capable of. Don’t worry. It won’t be toote for you to go up if something serious really happens.”


    After that, Isabe held Jane’s hand and went upstairs.


    At this moment, Cedric was leaning against the railing and looking at Peace City’s night view.


    Dressed in a ck suit, he looked solemn and dignified. He gently shook the red wine in his goblet.


    When he heard footstepsing up the stairs, a hint of joy shed across his eyes. He immediately turned around and walked up the stairs to wee Isabe. However, when he saw Isabe dressed in sportswear and bringing along a beautiful but unfamiliar woman, his joy instantly disappeared. “Isabe ... why are you dressed like this?”


    “I usually dress up in this way when I meet my friends. It’s sofortable.” Isabe smiled politely.


    Cedric frowned when he heard that Isabe deliberately emphasized the word “friends”.


    Jane, who was next to her, sensibly said, “Isabe, you really didn’t take my words to heart. I told you to wear a small dress. Have you forgotten Mr. Cedric’s identity? Do you think you two can be friends as long as you want to? You are not dating your fiancé and shouldn’t be so casual.”


    Isabe immediately pretended toe to a realization. “That makes sense. After all, our identity has a great difference! I can’t be too casual!”


    She then looked at Cedric and smiled politely. “Cedric, why don’t I go and change? I don’t want to ruin your mood.”


    “No need.”


    Cedric’s eyes darkened as he grabbed onto Isabe’s wrist. “I’ve seen how you look like when you wear pajamas and slippers. Why would I care if you wore sportswear and went on a date with me? You look very beautiful in this way too. I like it very much.”


    Isabe looked at Cedric holding his wrist and wanted to pull it out in embarrassment.


    Jane, who was at the side, saw this scene and immediately reached out to Cedric in high spirits, “Mr. Cedric, I’ve heard so much about you. I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Isabe’s sixteen-year-old ssmate and best friend. Nice to meet you.”


    Cedric indifferently looked Jane up and down and did not even reach out. He directly held Isabe’s hand to turn around with a cold voice. “Sorry, I don’t like to touch strangers. Since you are here, please sit down. Eating and doing nothing else is your best choice tonight.”


    Isabe was stunned. Jane instantly rolled her eyes and whispered to Isabe, “Now I believe that he is someone from the underworld. He looks so fierce!”


    Isabe put on a wrinkled face at Jane and reached out to hold her. Then the three of them instantly joined together and walked to the table together.


    Isabe sat down and went straight to the point. “Cedric, you said that as long as Ie to see you tonight, you would stretch rules and allow the designing institute to seal this appraisal report.”


    “I also said you shouldn’t call me Cedric.”


    Cedric interrupted Isabe directly, “Since we have no rtionship anymore, don’t call me so closely.”


    Isabe lowered her head awkwardly and said, “Sorry, Mr. Cedric.”


    Cedric looked at Isabe and frowned. “Let’s talk about thister. I don’t want to talk about this before dinner.”


    “OK.”


    After Isabe said OK, the atmosphere instantly became very strange.


    The opening was awkward, and the serving was silent. Besides, there was almost nomunication process.


    Jane and Isabe kept chattering. She did not want to give Cedric the chance to talk to Isabe alone. However, they did not expect Cedric to not want to talk to Isabe at all. He just drank and listened to their conversation in silence. Then, he asionally politely said a few words and introduced some dishes to them.


    The dinnersted for nearly an hour. Jane tried her best but failed to sessfully strike up a conversation with Cedric. Instead, she joked andughed with Isabe like two clowns.


    Seeing that the time was almost up, Isabe finally put down her bowl and fork and said seriously, “Cedric, I’ve finished eating.”


    Although he had asked Isabe to eat more, in this one hour, Cedric barely ate anything. He had been waving his wine ss or drinking with his eyes lowered the entire time. When he heard Isabe say that she had finished eating, he reminded her, “There’s also dessert after dinner. I’ve ordered your favorite red macaroon.”


    Isabe directly refused, “But I’m full tonight. I don’t want to eat dessert anymore.”


    Cedric finally raised his eyes.


    Isabe met Cedric’s gaze. “I know Mr. Cedric didn’t invite me here just for a meal. What do you want? Tell me now.”


    Cedric silently stared at Isabe’s beautiful face for a long time before saying, “I didn’t invite you here today to eat. Actually, I wanted to show you something.”


    Isabe had always felt that Cedric’s “invitation” this time seemed a little dangerous. In her heart, she was very afraid that he would go too far and do something bad to her. However, he only said that he wanted to show her something.


    “What is it?” Isabe asked.


    Cedric stood up and walked over to a telescope. “Come and take a look. There is very good scenery over there tonight. I want you to see it.”


    Isabe’s eyes flickered.


    There was a row of telescopes near the railing of this open-air restaurant. They were usually used to watch the stars by guests. Isabe never expected that Cedric’s request was only this. She then stood up and walked over when thinking that she was too narrow-minded.


    “Stand here and lower yourself a little.”


    Cedric softly reminded her. Then, he shifted the camera a little. “Can you see it?”
