Chapter 1261
What should she do? How should she handle this? How should she express herself? If Jacob saw this candlelit lunch,
he’d definitely get the wrong idea! How should she explain?
Jacob seemed somewhat puzzled by Belinda’s silence. “What’s up, Belinda? Why aren’t you speaking up?”
Belinda pondered for a bit, deciding she couldn’t let Jacob come over. “Erm… Jacob, the restaurant I’m dining at is
kinda far, and I’m almost done eating! How about we eat together some other time?”
Jacob seemed a bit disappointed. “But I’ve taken time off for this! I don’t mind if it’s far; I can take a cab over to find
you, and if you’re done eating, I can send you home.”
Belinda remained silent.

But how could she let him see this scene?
Jacob would definitely be heartbroken.
The room was quiet. Chase could hear Jacob over the phone and smirked at Belinda. “He took time off for you, so
let him come over and join us for lunch.”
Belinda was speechless.
He made it sound so easy. The one who had to explain this wasn’t him!
Jacob also heard Chase’s voice. “Belinda, are you with someone else? Is it inconvenient for me to come/over?”
Belinda was a bit flustered. “Ah! Not… no…”
“I just heard a man’s voice over there!”
Belinda felt a bit guilty. “That was… Anyway, it’s not what you think!”
She simply couldn’t bring herself to say she was having lunch with Chase.
Jacob gave a bitter laugh. “That’s okay! If it’s inconvenient for you, then forget it. I won’t disturb you!”
He was about to hang up.
Belinda could clearly feel her boyfriend getting angry, so she hurriedly said, “I’m not inconvenienced! Come over!
I’ll send you the address! Come pick me up!”
Jacob halted his action of hanging up. “Can I really come over?”
Belinda sighed in frustration. “Yes! Come over. I’ll explain everything when you get here.”
Jacob laughed. “Okay! Wait for me!”
After hanging up, Belinda felt a headache coming on. She had no idea how to explain this goddamn candlelit lunch

“Mr. Larios, can we switch to a normal room? Something that doesn’t look so intimate: My boyfriend is coming over,
and I don’t want him to misunderstand us.”
She tried to negotiate with Chase.
Chase had a particularly kind smile on his face, but his words left no room for negotiation. “No.”
Belinda glared at him angrily. “Why not? Don’t you think this is inappropriate? It’s like I’m cheating!”
Chase laughed. “I don’t think so.”
Belinda got so angry that she stood up. “Then you enjoy your meal! I’ll go wait for Jacob in a different room.”
She walked to the door of the room, but was stopped by the waiter at the door. “The food hasn’t been served yet;
you can’t leave.”
Belinda was somewhat angry. “I’m not eating!”
The waiter blocked her politely. “Please wait for Mr. Larios to finish, then you can leave together.”
Belinda had nothing to say and turned to glare at Chase.
Chase sipped his juice with a smile, showing no intention of letting her leave.
