His Dangerous Love novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 See You Soon

Elianna froze, realizing that he had seen through her.

Alicia had noticed Nola's feelings for Jefferson before and retaliated against her. Women in love were particularly sensitive. If she were to suspect something, the consequences would be dire.

Moreover, her brother mentioned that Sophia attended their father's concerts frequently. Sophia might have seen her there. It was best to avoid walking into a minefield if possible.

Not to mention that she also has to deal with the formidable Jefferson. It's like navigating through treacherous waters.

She planned to sneak away after Jefferson left but hadn't expected him to reveal it so easily.

Nervously, she forced a sheepish smile and said, "Oh, Mr. Larsen, how could I ever think of running away?"

Jefferson chuckled amiably. "Indeed, I don't think you would. If you tried to run, I'd get angry, and who knows what I might say..."

"Oh, it wouldn't be worth it. I don't think you'd do that, would you?"

Faced with this blatant threat, Elianna forced herself to smile. "Yes, Mr. Larsen, please go ahead. I'll join you shortly."

"Very well."

Jefferson seemed satisfied and walked over, leaning close to her ear, whispering softly, "Darling, see you soon."

Elianna smiled insincerely. "Sure."

As she watched the man leave, her smile instantly disappeared.

What a despicable man!

The rooftop restaurant was open-air, with plants providing some privacy between tables.

By now, it was getting late, and the neon lights illuminated the night, creating a stunning view.

When Jefferson sat down and saw Alicia, he wasn't surprised. He glanced at Sophia.

"Don't you ever get tired of this game?"

Sophia pretended to be clueless. "Jeff, what are you talking about? I just bumped into Alicia downstairs, and I brought her here."

"Hmm."

Jefferson sneered, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and then looked at Alicia.

This...

As she was hesitating, Alicia suddenly stood up and sat directly beside Jefferson, placing her bag beside him.

Elianna couldn't bear to see another woman sitting next to Jefferson, even if it was his sister-in-law.

Her decision relieved Elianna. If she had sat beside Jefferson, who knows what trouble he might have caused. It was better to keep her distance for now.

Just as she was about to move to Alicia's previous seat, Sophia considerately moved in.

"You sit on the outside, so it's less troublesome."

Elianna sighed inwardly but could only say, "Okay, thank you, Sophy."

After all the fuss, Elianna ended up sitting across from Jefferson.

Just as she placed her bag down, Sophia handed her the menu and smiled as she appraised her. "I thought this outfit would suit you, and it looks great on you."

"You used to dress too plain. You should show off your advantages."

Elianna dared not look up. "Thank you for the compliment, Sophy."

Across the table, Jefferson just finished smoking a cigarette, extinguished it in the ashtray, and placed his hand on the table, looking at Elianna. "Shouldn't you thank me too?"
