Chapter 267

"I'd never allow a woman to pay for me," said Cedrickwith a smirk in his eyes before he handed

the waiter a black card.

Catelyn froze. Did he just toy with her deliberately?

This man was downright infuriating!

She had told Cedrick that dinner was on her; she could not just let him pay for every date. She

did not want to take advantage of him like this.

Catelyn took his black card. "It's my treat. You don't have to pay."

Cedrick's face sank. "Do you have to be so calculative about this?"

"But—"

Before Catelyn could finish, Cedrick suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her toward him. She

could even smell the scent of the wine he had drunk

Catelyn was stunned.

Was he...taking advantage of her?

"You're already indebted from the moment you came to me," remarked Cedrick as he pinched her pink-

tinted cheeks. His voice was low and mellow, and his eyes darkened. "If you want to be calculative with

me, then I'll buy you a kiss."

This was madness!

Catelyn was so nervous that her heart raced at a breakneck speed.

There was no way out at this point. All she could do was wait for

Chandier Jewelry Competition to end, and she could then find a way to return the money to him.

As soon as Catelyn came to the door of the restaurant, she heard someone calling her name.

Catelyn glanced sideways.

"Miss Clark, what a coincidence!" said Lola. She, too, had planned to come to this restaurant for dinner.

She never thought she would see Cedrick and her kissing as she entered the premises. There was a

look of remorse and guilt on her face, and the arrogance she had during her previous interrogation at

the police station instantly vanished.

"I didn't expect to see you here," said Lola. "It was a colleague of mine who disqualified you from the

competition before, and it's my fault that I didn't find out the truth. I'm here to apologize to you."

She then noticed Cedrick, who had just walked out, and greeted him with a pretense of surprise. "Oh,

Cedrick! You're here as well?"

Cedrick did not even bother looking at her. He handed the bottle of red wine to Catelyn. "I'm heading

back to my company, so I won't be taking you home. Why don't you take this bottle back?"

He bought the wine after all? Catelyn thought he was joking!

"No, it's alright, I’m not good at drinking. You can have it." Catelyn pushed the red wine back to

Cedrick.

Lola was completely stunned when he heard the conversation between the two of them.

Cedrick was taking her home? How could they have developed a relationship so quickly?

Did Cedrick even care about his engagement with Maia?

There were so many women out there, and if Catelyn could do it, so could she!

Lola squeezed out an innocent gesture. "Master Cedrick, I knew I was wrong, that I went too far

in BrightGene Group that day, but Miss Clark didn't suffer any serious or substantial harm and

injury. Please forgive me, alright?"

There was a hint of sympathy in her pitiful tone of voice. However, Cedrick did not even bother

about her.

He did not try to force Catelyn to take the bottle of wine. "Be careful on your way back," he said

to her.

With that, Cedrick instantly walked away.

Catelyn nodded unconsciously and watched him leave before turning to look at Lola, noticing her

embarrassed expression.
