Chapter 262
Jersey City really was a small world.
Charlotte never imagined she would run into Sean here.
Still a little dazed, she heard Scort speak up behind her. “Mr. Jasper. What a coincidence–are you dining here too?”
Sean’s tone was cool, his Expression unreadable. “Yeah”
Charlotte didn’t say a word. She walked right past him and into the restaurant without looking back
A server approached them, “Good evening. Table for two? Do you have a reservation?”
Charlotte responded calmly, “Yes, under the number ending in 0775.”
“Right this way, please.”
As she followed the server inside, Scott offered Sean a polite smile. “If you’ll excuse me.”
Sean stood frozen in place, eyes lowered
It was Valentine’s Day.
“On a day like this, why would Lottie he having
ng dinner alone with Scott? Was it a date? he wondered.
His chest tightened. An overwhelming bitterness swept through him, wave after wave.
He stood frozen, throat tight, limbs numb, as if he had turned to stone.
Scort glanced at him one last time before walking on. The dim, romantle lighting of the restaurant couldn’t quite hide the loneliness etched across Sean’s face.
Scott’s lips curved into a barely there smile.
He knew what Sean was thinking
A man and a woman having dinner alone on Valentine’s Day–it did look a lot like a date.
And Scott had no intention of correcting the misunderstanding.
With calm steps, he passed Sean and caught up with Charlotte.
In the private dining room, Charlotte sat quietly, eyes unfocused, lost in thought.
While they waited for the food, they picked up their discussion about the partnership.
