"Well, well. Can't take your eyes off her, huh? And who was putting on such an act just now? You deliberately had the waiter tell you when Xu Shengxia was using her meal ticket, timed your arrival for the same moment, and then pretended not to see her when you got here. Now that she's not looking your way, you're back to sneaking glances at her."
Zheng Wenhao averted his gaze and chuckled.
"What do you know? If I'd gone up and said hi, she's smart enough to suspect I'm investigating or following her. Tonight at the nightclub, when we 'happen' to show up and help her, if we then state our terms, her first reaction will be that I'm setting her up."
Chen Yu tutted.
"If you wanted to sell the 'chance encounter' story, you shouldn't have come to this hotel last night. And since you were here, you shouldn't have deliberately run into her at breakfast."
Zheng Wenhao leaned back lazily in the booth, took a sip of his aperitif, and didn't say a word.
'Why did I come...?'
