Chapter 1699
Hearing my words, Cindy's eyes darkened slightly. It was probably because she had lost the opportunity to make
Zedd jealous.
At this time, Zedd cover. He swept us with a measuring gaze, followed by a raised eye. "How did it go?"
"He's got something going on. He probably can't make it, so let's eat," | looked over at him and spoke softly. At
that, the hostility on Zedd's face dispersed, and joy could be seen on his face as he said, "Let's eat here
Even though he tried to restrain himself, | could hear the faint happiness in Zedd's voice.
It seems that he still minded Theo's
presence.
Zedd took the lead and went into the restaurant. | was about to step in when | saw that Cindy had not moved.
Knowing what she was thinking, | gave her a hand." Now is not the tto be thinking.
When we entered, Zedd had already chosen a table.

It was by the window, so the lighting was good. From tto time, we could still enjoy the view outside.
| sat in the inside seat. Cindy was still standing. She looked at the seat next to Zedd, then next to me. She finally
chose to sit down next to me.
"Order, please."
| could clearly sense Zedd's displeasure, but he did not say anything and raised his hand to call for the waiter.
"What's for lunch?" "You decide."
As soon as | said that, Cindy flipped open the menu and ordered two or three dishes as she wished. She then
closed it and raised her eyebrows. "Mr. Nichols, you rarely treat people, so | ordered a few expensive dishes. You
wouldn't mind, right?"
She said this harshly. What else could Zedd say?
| shook my head helplessly. Cindy indeed had not changed.
"Of course not," Zedd responded.
After ordering, | was bored and Cindy pulledin to discuss various news topics.
Suddenly, there was a vibration from the table.
It was Zedd's phone ringing across the table.
He glanced at the screen, his handsface flashing with impatience. He rejected the call.
Just a short while after hanging up, the phone rang again. It seemed like the person on the other end was quite
persistent.
"| think it's the beautiful person in your villa who's calling. Why don't you go ahead and answer it quickly? Don't
make people wait anxiously," Cindy spoke in a strange manner and rolled her eyes at Zedd while playing with
the straw in her cup.
Zedd raised his eyes and met Cindy's unhappy eyes. "You know | wouldn't let her stay at my place."
His words brought a snort from Cindy." How would | know you're telling the truth?" "Cindy, you!"
Seeing that things were not right, | hastily acted as a mediator. "Okay, okay, | think we should not talk about this
at this time. Look, guys, the food is here."

| was grateful that the dishes were served just in tto avoid an argument.
"It hasn't been easy for you to manage the company lately. Eat more." | passed Cindy a lot of food.
The two people who were previously incompatible with each other were now able to sit together and dine
peacefully, which no one could
probably believe. Zedd himself
less so as his tentative gaze fingered on me.
Noticing his look, | smiled. "Mr.
Nichols, are you not eating? What are you looking at?" "I want to know what's the real purpose of you letting
Cindy manage Nectarine Entertainment?"
Zedd asked seriously, but it was a bit of a shock to me.
He was really devoted to Cindy.
It was a pity that things had not worked out between the two until now.
| was thinking about it, but Zedd seemed to take it as if | had bad intentions. The color in his eyes showed more «
danger each moment. After coming to my senses, | raised a smile...
