Chapter 38 Mark’s Displeasure

Lyla followed Arden to an Italian restaurant, and the waiter led them to the table they had reserved.

The restaurant was a couple’s restaurant. The warm light and elegant style gave the restaurant a romantic atmosphere.

It was lunchtime, but there were not many people inside. When Arden and Lyla arrived, they immediately attracted the attention of others. The man was aloof and handsome, while the woman was beautiful and lovable.

Arden ordered well-done steaks because Lyla did not like them rare. He still remembered her preference.

Later, he thoughtfully cut the steak for her and placed it in front of her. “Lyla, hurry up and eat.”

Lyla smiled at him. “Thank you, Arden.”

Arden looked at Lyla. The most captivating part of her was her eyes, which were clear and void of impurities. He seemed to feel calm when he looked at her.

The girl from seven years ago had become more beautiful now, yet she was still as pure as ever.

Both of them chatted as they ate.

“How have you been recently?” Arden smiled and asked.

“Not bad,” Lyla answered indifferently.

“I never thought that you would join M.K. Corporation after you came back. If I had known, I would have definitely poached you to our company!” Arden said.

Lyla smiled. “You’re flattering me, Arden.”

“I’m not flattering you. J.P. Corporation will always welcome you!” Arden declared.

“All right. If I’m driven into a corner, I will definitely join J.P. Corporation!”

“We’ll always welcome you!”

The two of them continued to chat as they ate, while Arden looked at Lyla with a loving smile.

In his opinion, Lyla was his treasure. He had fallen in love with her from the moment he met her. He would be by her side and guard her back then, but she left after that.

Since then, he had never seen her.

Over the years, he remained single because he wanted to wait for her.

And now, she had returned.

He felt that it was a chance given to him by God.

He would definitely treasure this chance.

As Lyla looked at Arden, she found that he was more mature and reliable than before. Even so, the feeling that made her feel warm and secure in the past did not change at all.

She smiled at Mark and started to eat.

They dined and conversed pleasantly.

While Lyla ate, her long hair fell down loosely. Just as she was about to fix it, Mark subconsciously reached out first. His gentle movement stunned Lyla.

“Thank you, Arden.” She looked down and spoke softly.

Arden looked at her with doting eyes.

However, not far away, a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on them.

Mark narrowed his deep eyes slightly, and they were unfathomable. He had noticed them since they entered.

A beaded curtain just separated the space between them. Lyla’s profile happened to be visible to Mark from his seat, but she could not spot him easily.

Mark frowned in displeasure when he saw them chatting and laughing.

What was their relationship?

If he was not mistaken, that person was J.P. Corporation’s president, Arden Pattinson.

Lyla had gone to find him for work matters, so why were they there?
