Chapter 519
Chapter 519
Eddie? Even the seniors in the business circle, such as Zenith, would not address Edgar like that.His eyebrows throbbed slightly, but he still walked toward her.
“Quick! I’m hungry!”
Julia sat down and started ordering some food.
Edgar sat right across from her.
Both of them pretended to be unaware of Jean and Gigi.
“I want this cake, this one, and this..”
Julia ordered a lot of food.
Then, she put the menu down and looked at Edgar.
“You’re paying, aren’t you?”
Edgar lost control and laughed.
“Yes””
“Good.I want all of that? she instructed before looking away from the menu.When Edgar wanted to look upstairs, Julia stopped him just in time.Not long after sitting down, the man pushed Gigi to a seat near the window.In a chivalrous manner, he gave her his name card.
“I’m a doctor at CRK Medical Center.I heard you are looking for a blood donor — I think I can help you? Andrew Walterson said with a smile.
Gigi relaxed when she saw Edgar. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
She slowly turned around and put on a mask.
“What?”
“l can find you the right blood donor to end your suffering from the disease.”
Andrew’s words struck a chord with Gigi.
“Who asked you?” She fumbled with her fingers as she asked.
“Your ex-manager, Sheena.”

Andrew smiled at her warmly.
“Initially, they didn’t want me to tell you the truth, worried that you might be triggered.But after meeting you in person, I noticed you have trust issues.If I didn’t come clean, you might be more agitated.”
He switched on his laptop, and his smile widened.
“You can trust me.I will try my best to help you”
Gigi’s suspicions faltered.
No wonder Sheena looked weird at the hospital just now.
She had no clue how outstanding Andrew was in the medical field; she only thought of him as an employee of the medical center.
Finally, she let her guard down.
It seemed Edgar didn’t notice her at all.
Their tables were quite far apart, and she was wearing a mask.
It was pretty unlikely that he saw her.
“Can we begin now? I need your personal details to continue.” Andrew asked matter-of-factly, “Your name, please.”
Gigi froze.
Andrew looked at her and explained, “Don’t get me wrong.This is just some paperwork — you have to fill in your personal information.”
Gigi nodded slowly.
“And your name is?”
After much effort, she squeezed out, “Gigi E-Eyer.”
And Jean heard that clearly through her earpiece.
Then, she turned around to look at Julia and Edgar.
Did Julia invite Edgar for a meal at this hour? Well, that’s not impossible.
Perhaps they are discussing the acquisition of Eyer Group, or Edgar might be pestering her.
Standing behind the railings, Jean looked conflicted.
“Ms.Horton, aren’t you going to take any action?”
“Take what?” Julia asked blatantly.
After a moment, a look of realization dawned on her.
“Didn’t I tell you that I would pay for it? You better stop using company matters to harass Jean.She’s doing quite well with Hugo — don’t even think of ruining their relationship.Otherwise, I’ll spread rumors about you, so you can’t even get a wife.”
Edgar was speechless upon hearing that.
After Julia finished speaking, Edgar’s face fell miserably.She softened her tone.
“I’m not picking bones with you.You are an eligible partner from all aspects, but you just don’t suit Jean.You should know this very well — neither your temperament nor your character matches hers.”
“l can change that,” Edgar replied without any hesitation.
He said seriously, “I mean it.I’m not someone who would make a rash decision.Since I have decided to be with her, I won’t regret it.I don’t mind doing anything.”
As soon as Julia swallowed her food, she laughed.
She had seen a fair share of men regretting their decisions, but Edgar was much better than her expectations.
However, he neglected an essential point.
“Jean is not the type of girl you need to take care of.She is more independent than most girls and won’t want to accept you taking responsibility for her.Yet, you still want to care for her unconditionally.The more you chase after her, the more she’ll want to escape.Do you understand?”
Now that she had experienced separation, she wanted to keep a firm hold on what truly belonged to her.
There wouldn’t be any disappointments without any expectations.
Edgar’s eyes dimmed.
“I know.”
“Bullsh*t.” Julia raised her voice frantically.
“You keep saying you understand.What do you know? It’s such a waste of time talking to you.”
She suddenly snapped at him and got up to leave.
The rest of the customers looked at them, including Gigi and Andrew.
Gigi’s first reaction was to hide from them.She nudged her mask and covered her eyes with her hands.
Jean witnessed the entire exchange from the second floor with a frown.
Edgar probably won’t be as thick- skinned as to go after her.
After all, he was humiliated in front of everyone.
Contrary to her prediction, Edgar got up and followed Julia.
Jean pursed her lips as she watched him leave the restaurant.
From her angle, she couldn’t tell that Julia was right next to his car.
She deliberately snapped at Edgar as an excuse to leave.
Edgar was annoyed and amused at the same time, but he opened the door for her.
“How was that? I’m pretty good at acting, right? I was almost discovered by talent scouts when I was young” she said wistfully.
Edgar gave a slight nod.
“It’s an outstanding performance indeed.”
Julia looked at the restaurant before pointing at a gigantic mall.
“If you accompany me there and pay for everything, I will tell Jean that you annoyed me, but you bought me some presents to make up for it.Then, I will find a suitable time to invite you over for dinner.”
Edgar’s eyes lit up.
“Thanks, Ms.Horton.”
“There’s no need for that! I’m still the same – I disapprove of you and Jean getting back together.I’m giving you another opportunity today because of your impromptu performance”
“Got it”
Edgar did as he was told.
On the way there, Julia called someone before telling Edgar, “I contacted the hospital.They said that Gigi was going to CRK Medical Center.Do you know that?”
Edgar frowned.
Of course, I do.That was founded by Nathan’s eldest brother, and it’s one of the top medical centers in the world. Copyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
