"Sophia? Why are you here?"
Amelia saw them when she just came in so she pretended to be surprised.
The atmosphere was froze and embarrassing when two groups of people met each other.
Amelia pretended knowing nothing and she turned her sight to Clyde," Clyde, why are you also here?"
Clyde just pulled chair for Evelyn. They stood together and they looked intimate.
And Sophia was standing in the opposite of them, angrily.
Lucas saw this scene. His put his ice cold sight on Clyde and Evelyn. His face became more gloomy.
It seemed a heavy rain was coming, bursting at any time.
Evelyn saw these persons were gathered here and she felt the unpleasant mood of Lucas. She was stupefied for a moment unconsciously.
Then she found out ...behind the time. It was too coincident that the thing happened today!
She just met Clyde and then Sophia was here followed by Lucas and Amelia!
When Evelyn was thinking, she glanced by the corner of her eye Amelia's blurring smile.
Her mind suddenly became clear.
They were all set up originally!
Hmmm...How interesting. Good job to Amelia!
Evelyn sneered in her mind and she did not want to obey Amelia's plan.
"I'm just here to talk about business with Mr. Lowell." She said gently. Her expression did not change at all.
The cafe had enough space. She won't choose here even if she was doing something shady.
Sophia sneered when she observed Evelyn's action," Talk about business? Such a liar telling lies without thinking."
"Mrs. Hawk, we are here to talk business for real."
Clyde interrupted when he saw the situation," I admired the talent of Miss. Davis and now I'm trying to invite her to join my new company. It was not like what you thought. Please don't misunderstand."
He put out some contracts as he was saying," I have already made the contracts. We can get in cooperation if Miss. Davis signs the contracts."
Those few thin pages of contracts were just put on the table.
It seemed they were here to talk about business for real.
Amelia and Sophia looked into each other's eyes and they were nervous now.
How could it be?
Clyde looking for Evelyn to only talk about the cooperation?
But that was not Linda said.
After a deep thinking, Linda only said Evelyn was going out to have a date with a man but she did not mentioned the details.
It was them that were thinking unconsciously Nora was fooling around.
They were clapped in face evidently. Sophia felt a little bit hot on her face. She looked to Evelyn with doubts in her eyes.
When and how could she get the ability that were even coveted by other companies?
Where did Nora Davis get the ability?
All the sights of people were sticking on Evelyn, with doubts.
"Have you signed yet?"
Lucas's voice was coming from aside. He knew the reason that Clyde found Evelyn long time ago. Even though he was not suspicious of that, his handsome face was still full of unpleasant expressions.
Evelyn was interrupted by Amelia when she was not getting to speak," I did not know that Nora has such a good ability. She even got compliments from Mr. Lowell. Mr. Lowell always has a good sight of judging people."
Her words, seemed like praising Evelyn.
However, Evelyn felt that it won't be over easily.
As Evelyn expected, Amelia changed her tone in the next second," Lucas, the Lowell Group is a old brand in costume designing industry. Nora's future will be unpredictable if she joins their company! I think that you'd better to agree with her to join the company so she does not have to be in a sneaking way every time and let us misunderstanding."
There was a deeper meaning of Amelia's words. It seemed helping Evelyn.
But Lucas did not pay any attention to Amelia. He walked forward for a few steps and picked up the contracts on the table then pressed them on Clyde's chest," Mr. Lowell, Our Hawk's Group is setting up a design company as well. My wife, of course, she will help me in my company. Thanks for you admiring her talent but this time you may be disappointed, please."
Lucas plugged the contracts back to Clyde's hands with a overbearing action.
Amelia did not expected that he would do that. She felt hot in her face instantly like someone hit with palm in her face.
Sophia held the hand of Amelia in silence. Her face was gloomy like ice. She wanted to stop Lucas.
But she met the cold freezing face of him so she could only swallow the words back.
Evelyn did not expected that Lucas would let her to help in the company at this moment. After all, the conditions she made were kind of harsh to Lucas.
" Don't you consider it more?"
Clyde took over the contracts and looked at Evelyn like he was not giving up.
Simultaneously, Lucas's sight looked straight to her, too.
His eyebrows were lifted a little and his sight was seemed like saying," Don't you dare to accept!"
Evelyn did not dare to watch him in eyes. She smiled with apology to Clyde," Thanks for your compliments. But I may let your kindness down. I'm really sorry!"
Clyde smiled reluctantly when he heard the words," Ok, that's disappointing. Anyway, as long as you wish, the door of the Lowell's Group will always be opened for you!"
He tidied his cloth as he was saying and put back the contracts then he bade farewell to Evelyn systematically.
The view of his back was also charming, such a gentleman.
Sophia clenched her teeth when she found the situation had came to this," I got things to do, bye."
"Take care on the way, Sophia." Amelia urged.
Sophia answered with just a sound then she left directly.
Then Lucas turned to Evelyn and said," You go back home now. I will talk the details with you later at night."
Evelyn was stupefied for a while then she nodded.
Lucas turned to the man in silence when she agreed," Mr. Smith, Let's go on."
"Ok, ok." Mr. Smith answered instantly then left with Lucas.
Amelia was in behind. She stared at Evelyn for a while. Her sight seemed trying to eat her up.
Evelyn sneered and she did not want to pay attention to Amelia anymore. She packed up her stuff impassively then turned to walk out.
Amelia was more unreconciled when she observed the action of Evelyn. Her clenched her teeth that the teeth seemed nearly breaking.
