He gestured to those behind him and allowed a person I was particularly familiar with to enter.
The man was wearing a custom-made royal blue suit, his hair neat and clean. When he saw everyone, he was charming.
He said with a smile on his face, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting!"
Sebastian stood up to greet him with a huge smile on his face too. After shaking hands with him, he said, "Mr. Granger sure has to deal with a lot of affairs every day. We've ordered the dishes, and they'll be served soon!"
Then, he led Irvin to his seat.
I looked at Irvin, who was sitting opposite me. I frowned and thought, why did he appear here as the representative of the third party company?
I looked sideways at Hendrix and saw that he was just calmly removing a lobster's shell. When he saw me looking at him, he smiled and asked, "Hungry?"
I shook my head and opened my mouth to say something, "No..." and he took the opportunity to put a piece of lobster into my mouth.
I couldn't spit it out so I chewed. It was very sweet. Delighted with the flavor, I enthusiastically ate the rest.
He smiled. "How's the taste?"
I nodded and commented honestly, "Quite good."
He smiled faintly and continued to remove the shell. He said in a gentle voice, "Eat slowly. I'll remove the shells for you!"
It was as if there was no one else at the table with us.
However, judging from Hendrix's expression, it seems like he knew that the third party was Irvin, which would explain why he had followed me ton dinner.
The familiar way he said my name betrayed a hint of affection. Sebastian asked in surprise, "Does Mr. Granger and Mrs. Roberts know each other?"
"We've known each other for a long time!" Irvin looked at me softly and said, "She's cold and impatient and has been ignoring me since our last fight. I've been thinking about her since then!"
Irvin was obviously provoking me. I stared at him, wide-eyed. When did I ever do the things he said I did?
When Sebastian heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. He could not help but ask, "My apologies, are you very close friends?"
"Well, more than a friend. Don't you think so, Arianna?" Irvin looked at me and said mockingly, his eyes full of arrogance.
I frowned, but I didn't say anything.
Hendrix had no such qualms. "In his position in taking care of my uncle-in-law, Mr. Granger and my wife are indeed closer than friends. However, my aunt has already left the Granger Group. So they have no relationship at present. Mr. Granger, you should think about what you say in the future. After all, my wife's reputation is important."
