Tyrone did not move, but picked up the chopsticks again, and frowned. With the pressure of the leader, he whispered: "I still have to go to work in the afternoon. If you want to drink, we can go back and drink at night."
Expect Tyrone, other people all surprised. Then they looked at the cup full of wine in front of him, swallowed and quickly put the cup down, nodded: "You are right, Mr. Raman .Now, eat! The food here is not bad."
Without drinking, Tyrone suddenly relaxed a lot, pulled the cup away, and then began to eat quietly.
Leo glanced at these two people. The curvature of his lips got deeper.
After eating for a while, Cathy’s cell phone suddenly rang.
"Sorry."
She picked up, looked at it and found It was from Matt Spenser. She estimated he was asking about Mila. So she looked up, smiled at the people and didn’t go out.
"Hey, Matt."
Tyrone heard her voice obviously got mild, and his eyes couldn’t help to glance at her.
"Cathy, have you had lunch?"
"Well, I am eating." She lowered her head and helped Mila rubbed mouth naturally.
"How is Mila? Did she cry?"
Tyrone smiled lightly. "No, she is very sensible. She is also eating now. Do you plan to speak to her?"
"No, I am already on the road now. I’m going to your company directly." He said. His voice suddenly softened: "Thank you for your help in this morning."
"It is easier to look after her than to go to work." She said and then continued: "Matt, I’m eating, so we talk later."
"OK."
She said in a very low voice, so the room didn’t seem to be affected and they continued chatting or eating. However, when she put down the phone and raise her head, she fell into the black bottomless eyes of Tyrone, then her heart suddenly beat heavily.
"Does Miss Lawson like this child and her father?"
Leo asked.
“The child’s father” obviously didn’t mean her husband. Others couldn’t tell it, but she understood what Leo meant.
This man seemed to already know about her divorce with Tyrone.
She suddenly had some suspiciousness. When did Tyrone become so loquacious? He even told about their divorce with his friend.
She looked down, and smiled. "If you didn't love, why did you choose to be together? In a marriage without of love, there should be no suspense about its ending."
Leo of course could understand the deep meaning of her words. He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Tyrone, and then laughed lazily: "That's not definitely. People usually say the couple would fall in love with each other after sleeping many times. We all know love is mostly variable."
"..."
Tyrone did not expect that he would say so straightforward, and he even moved out the dirty joke.
Did Tyrone have a long-term affection for her after sleeping with her these days? It’s ridiculous.
She saw him at most once a week, and she didn’t see him a few times during these three years of marriage. He nearly knew nothing about her, so how did he fall in love with her?
She looked up at the man and suddenly asked, "Mr. Scott, are you married?"
Leo surprised, "Oh, no."
Tyrone looked at him unsurprised and smiled. "So... don't use your love concept to judge marriage."
Leo, "..."
Tyrone listened to the conversation between the two people, and his face gradually became a bit unhappy.
After the meal, the representatives from LT Company planned to continue to visit Vanten Technology Company in the afternoon, but they were sent back by Tyrone in a few words.
Tyrone felt somewhat inexplicable, but she was not interested in exploring. Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, facing the two people: "Mr. Raman, Mr. Scott, thank you for the reception at noon. I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I will return to the company first."
Tim stood by her with the two big packs of lunch boxes.
Mr. Brown looked at her calmly. "It seems impolite not to thank you. In the morning, you invite LT Company to visit yours. In the afternoon, I should also invite you to have a seat in our company. Since we are neighbors now, we should take care of each other in the future."
Tyrone’s face changed and she smiled awkward. “Well, I’ll go back to inform Mr. Brown and let him arrange it.”
“Don’t waste the time! Is Mr. Brown not available now?”
"..."
Cathy’s eyes twitched and she really wanted to swear.
This bastard was deliberate? Was she very fun to play?
Mr. Brown laughed again. "If Mr. Brown really wants to go through a process, is it better for me to give him a call?"
Tyrone clenched her teeth in anger and glared at him with a half smile, “No, I just want to visit your company.”
Even if he called Mr. Brown, he would still send her to deal with it.
Taking a breath and calming herself, she turned back to Tim: "You go back to the company first. I’ll go with Mr. Raman to visit their company. Oh, these meals are still hot, so when you arrive, remember to remind them to eat. Also tell them, this is Mr. Raman’s treat.”
These dishes he ordered, although cost much money, but compared with his identity, they were really cheap. If others knew it’s his treat, they would think he was stingy.
Tim of course didn’t know her intentions, so he just nodded.
After Tim left, Cathy couldn’t stand anymore. Her face became stony and she stared at him. “Do you think it’s interesting to play this?”
Before Tyrone responded, the atmosphere was suddenly broken by a giggle from the side.
Leo did not hide his joy, and looked at her quite funny. "Miss Lawson, just now you must be extremely annoyed, right?"
This was his first time to see a woman's face change so quickly.
Tyrone had the black with a stink face and sneered, "Didn’t Mr. Scott feel uncomfortable? It is a pity for you not to be an actor!"
Till now she knew this person was a vagabond, either a rich second generation or a punk.
"You think I’m making fun with you, but I think you are just guilty." Leo said. Tyrone looked at her indifferently, and smiled meaningfully. "Probably only the people with guilty conscience will think like this."
"..."
Tyrone choked and suddenly stopped arguing with Leo. Because she was afraid that her unborn child would be involved again.
What he said was also true. Among the reasons for her anger, the guilty conscience was an important one.
She was still not good at lying.
Feeling she had calmed down, the man turned and walked toward the car with no change in the expression.
Leo hooked his lips playfully reminded her, “Miss Lawson, let’s go.”
Tyrone bit her lower lip and glared at the two men, quite a while, held Mila and went on the car despondently.
In LT Company, Tyrone’s indignant expression was no longer concealed.
Anyway, the people here didn't know her, and the people of Vanten were not here either.
She had no discontentment with the company, and she was just filled with pent-up fire that Tyrone had provoked.
"Tyrone, are you coming back?"
Marian Johnson saw the man, and happily went towards them. When she saw Cathy standing next to him, her smile suddenly stiffened. "Hi, Miss…Lawson."
Leo’s eyes glanced at these three people, and said, “Am I invisible?”
