Chapter 528: Chapter 528: The Figure Walking into the Restaurant Doorway
After ordering their meal, the duo started casually discussing some business-related topics about the two companies while waiting for lunch.
Emily Walker had no idea what Adrian Nash had said that caused her to burst out laughing.
However, her line of sight drifted towards the restaurant doorway not far away, where the entrance of an unexpected figure made her laughter freeze on her face.
“What happened?” Seeing her sudden cessation of laughter and the stunned look on her face, Adrian Nash couldn’t but look at her with some confusion.
Emily Walker paused for a few seconds, then immediately picked up a file folder from the dining table to cover her face.
Noticing her strange behavior, Adrian Nash frowned in confusion, then followed Emily’s line of sight to see Baron Stuart walking into the restaurant.
As if he was meeting a client, as always, Baron Stuart had an unapproachably cold expression on his face.
Emily Walker bowed her head, failing to understand why Baron Stuart had coincidentally also come to eat at this restaurant.
Through the corner of the folder, Emily Walker sneakily peered out and saw him heading in the direction of the second floor, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since he was going to the second floor, he was definitely going to a private room, so naturally, he wouldn’t see her having lunch with Adrian Nash.
As long as she finished eating before he came out, she could leave!
However, Emily Walker didn’t continue to watch. If she had, she would’ve known that he didn’t enter a private room on the second floor but took an elegant seat!
Adrian Nash took notice of her upright posture, he had a small smile on his face. “Are you afraid of him?”
Emily Walker lifted her head to look at him, a bit aloof and confused by his words.
Afraid of him? Not really, but…
“He doesn’t like it when I have meals with you.” At the point, the waiter brought up their ordered lunch. Emily Walker casually accepted the plate, but spoke this sentence out quite straightforwardly as a matter of fact.
Adrian Nash didn’t expect this answer and was taken aback for a moment.
She won’t do what Baron Stuart doesn’t like?
Adrian Nash lowered his eyebrow. I wonder how Baron Stuart would react if he saw his woman enjoying lunch with him?
Thinking about this, Adrian Nash’s gaze involuntarily darted towards the second floor.
With that one look, his movement of eating paused for a moment.
He thought that Baron Stuart was going to the private room on the second floor, but unexpectedly, he had chosen an elegant seat.
From Baron Stuart’s location, a slight turn of his head would give him a clear view of where they were sitting.
Thinking about all this, Adrian Nash unexpectedly smirked, as if waiting for something to happen.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing his gaze darting elsewhere, Emily Walker was puzzled and prepared to follow Adrian Nash’s line of sight.
Upon seeing this, he quickly took the folder from the dining table to distract her, “Nothing! Oh, there are a few small details we need to discuss.”
With this, Emily Walker was indeed distracted and her attention shifted to the contents of the file folder as he flipped it open.
At this moment on the second floor, Baron Stuart was quietly listening to the proposed cooperation plan, showing little interest for the project.
Halfway through the discussion, he felt that the past ten-plus minutes had been a complete waste of time.
Feeling some impatience, he picked up his wine glass from the table for a small sip, then unintentionally let his gaze wander elsewhere.
