Kian saw several people dining inside through the gap in the door.


    Dane, Madisyn, Andrew, and… Evie?


    Why was Evie there?


    Kian’s fist tightened, and he strode in without hesitation.


    Liza was taken aback.


    “Kian?”


    Teresa couldn’t stop Kian in time.


    She saw Evie at the table and was equally confused.


    “It seems you all have something to discuss.


    Please,e in,” the assistant said casually.


    The others exchanged nces and finally chose to enter.


    Teresa tried to intervene but found no reason to stop them.


    She could only watch as they walked in.


    As Kian approached the table, he felt immense pressure.


    The presences of Dane and Andrew were overwhelming, making him feel as though he might buckle under their weight.


    Though he was nervous, Kian’s eyes remained fixed on Evie.


    Evie had been enjoying her lobster.


    When she suddenly noticed Kian entering, a wave of nausea hit her.


    After days of sadness, she felt nothing but disdain for her ex- boyfriend.


    “Evie, why are you here?” Kian asked, clearly uneasy.


    He had assumed that after leaving him, she would just quietly fade into the background.


    She shouldn’t be seen dining alongside the president of thepany as if they were equals.


    The big difference was too much for Kian to digest.


    “What does it matter to you where I am?” Evie replied with disgust.


    “Don’t talk to me.


    You make me feel that the air here is stinky.


    ”


    Kian couldn’t believe his ears.


    How could Evie speak to him with such contempt?


    He suspected her harshness stemmed from loving him too much.novelbin


    Now seeing her here, he assumed she must be trying to exchange sex favors for some advantage.


    “Evie, enough.


    Come with me,” Kian said as he grasped her hand, intending to lead her away.
