Chapter 393
When Calvin saw Emily, he wasn’t surprised at all. He even stood up and pulled out a chair, inviting her to sit. But Emily didn’t move. She kept her distance instead.
Austin had warned her that Calvin was dangerous, someone she needed to avoid. “I’m sorry. I’ve got business to take care of today,” she said, her eyes scanning the room.
To her surprise, the restaurant was empty except for her and Calvin. Something felt off. She glanced back at him.
He still held the chair with a polite smile. “If the business you’re talking about is meeting a supplier, then that’s me,” he said.
Emily looked at him skeptically. She hadn’t met the supplier she was supposed to meet today, but she’d seen a picture online. There was no way that could be Calvin.
Calvin noticed her doubt and smiled even more warmly. “The Pierce family from Beloris is a better supplier than anyone else you might’ve picked, Ms. Harper.”
He wasn’t wrong, and Emily knew it. But she still stayed put. Calvin sighed. “No need to be so wary of me, Ms. Harper. We’ve met before, and you just don’t remember.”
Emily got even more confused. She did feel he looked familiar, but after all this time, she couldn’t figure out where they’d
met.
