NovelEnglishChloe acted very enthusiastic.
Elias couldn't resist his playful tendencies and quirked an eyebrow, asking, "Does this young lady know me?"
Chloe quickly introduced herself with a smile, "I'm Chloe, a... um, good friend of Cole's."
She blushed slightly and chuckled, "A close friend!"
Cole frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
Reese couldn't hold back a bitter laugh and didn't spare any face, "A close friend you've slept with, right?"
She couldn't believe that Chloe, after finding out why Cole invited her and Ava to dinner, would still have the
audacity to claim to be just a close friend. It was utterly nauseating.
Reese recalled how Chloe's eyes lit up like a dog spotting a bone the moment she saw Elias. She was beyond
annoyed. Cole was truly blind!
Before anyone could say anything, Chloe's face turned a ghastly pale at Reese's words.
Elias burst into laughter.
Cole blinked, surprised by Reese's blunt comment.

It was only then that he realized Reese seemed to strongly dislike Chloe.
However, Chloe's earlier claim had also left him slightly displeased.
Ava's cold expression cut through the tension, "Weren't we here to eat? I'm hungry!"
Elias's expression changed slightly. Was Ava upset?
Could it be that she was jealous, thinking he was being overly friendly with Chloe?
Elias's heart fluttered with joy.
He quickly caught up, saying, "Ava, | want to sit next to you!"
Ava gave him a cold glance without a word. Elias chuckled and shamelessly took a seat beside her.
During the meal, Elias continuously served food to Ava, showing intimacy, "Ava, the roasted duck here is a must-
try. You should have more!"
Ava shot him a side-eye, "You becwhat you eat. You should be having more!"
Reese was taken aback and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Elias caught on and said with a wry smile, "Are you callinga duck?"
Ava shrugged, "If the shoe fits, wear it. | can't help it!"
Elias adored Ava's icy demeanor.
He indulged in a fond laugh, "You're something else!"
Watching this scene, Cole felt oddly uncomfortable for sreason. "Ava, you and Mr. Schmidt..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Elias winked at him playfully and spoke with a meaningful smile, "Of course,
we're good friends!"
Cole's brows furrowed even deeper.
Chloe had been stealing glances at Elias the entire time, barely paying attention to her meal. Tonight was
supposed to be about her and Cole showing affection to Reese and Ava, but Ava had to bring along Elias and
disrupt everything.
Reese was feeling a bit thirsty and drank too much water.

Midway through the meal, she got up to use the restroom.
As she exited the restroom, she spotted a familiar face.
Rose was standing in front of the mirror, focused on reapplying her makeup.
Reese walked over to wash her hands and caught a whiff of a faint fragrance on Rose, as if she were wearing
Chanel's latest perfume.
Rose noticed Reese through the mirror.
She couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, "Designer Roberts is here at Stork House Building for dinner too?"
Reese's tone was indifferent, "Yes."
Rose, feeling slightly displeased by Reese's cold attitude, couldn't resist flaunting,
"Is Designer Roberts here for a date as well?"
Reese furrowed her brows, "Not a date. Just having a meal with friends."
After washing her hands, Reese headed to the hand dryer.
Rose lightly laughed and continued, "I thought Designer Roberts was here for a date!"
