Chapter 469
“I feel like I’m totally being underestimated here!” David grumbled to himself.
“Let me give you a lift home, David.” This proposal lit up David’s eyes, and he looked at Arabella excitedly. “But you haven’t finished your meal.”
“I’m already full.”
While David was thrilled, he didn’t forget to warn Romeo, “Don’t you dare follow us!”
Finally, he had a chance to spend some alone time with his sister!
Even if it was just for a little while.
David walked out shoulder to shoulder with Arabella, looking as pumped as if he’d just won the lottery.
“Bella, is there anything you want to know about the entertainment industry? I can tell you everything I know.” David said it indulgently. “Not interested? That’s cool; I can tell you something else.”
He chatted with Arabella about all kinds of celebrity gossip from the moment they stepped into the elevator until they reached the lobby.
Yolanda was about to thank Zachary when she spotted David out of the corner of her eye.
There he was, not wearing sunglasses, with his cap on backwards, dressed in trendy clothes, chatting joyfully with a girl. And that girl was Arabella!
Yolanda’s eyes widened in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes and looked–again. It was indeed Arabella!
“Do you find this funny, hahaha?” David was laughing heartily.
Arabella was amused by his silliness and nodded, “Yeah, it’s funny.”
“Right? I have another funny story to tell you.” David began to spill more industry gossip.
Yolanda couldn’t believe it. International superstar David was chatting and laughing with Arabella so intimately.
Were they dating?
The thought shocked her. She covered her mouth, unable to believe this was real.
Could it be that Arabella was invited to the dinner because of David?
He was a superstar, and it was common for him to book a whole restaurant.
But what made Arabella worthy of being with such a perfect man?
Even if she was the founder of QY, she wasn’t qualified!
Yolanda clenched her fists, her eyes reddening with jealousy. Only after they had left did she approach Zachary.
Although Zachary had given $300,000, Yolanda had no interest in his ordinary face. She regretted that she had made her move too soon.
“Zachary, my dad told me what happened. I’m really sorry that my relatives have caused you trouble!” She bit her lip and said, “I’ll find a way to pay you back those $300,000.”
Even though she said this, Yolanda had no intention of repaying the money. She just wanted to leave a good impression on Zachary.
“I can’t possibly take your money. I hope you’re not mad about my earlier proposal. I just wanted to make my relatives like you more.”
“I know; I’ve talked to my dad about it. We’ll have separate engagement parties, and those distant relatives will be invited by my dad at another time.”
Seeing her say this, Zachary finally smiled.
On the other side, Arabella had just dropped off David and returned to the private room. Everyone asked her if she wanted to eat anything, but she said she was full and couldn’t eat another bite. Kenneth and Lucas then started arguing about who should pick up the tab.
“I organized this dinner, so I should be the one to pay!”
“I’m Bella’s uncle; can’t you let me show some generosity? I want Bella to have a good impression of me too!”
“You’ve already given Bella gifts and a bank card; there’s no way we’re letting you pay for this meal.”
“Are you being polite to me again? I’m telling you, I must pay for this meal tonight; otherwise, my wife will punish me when I get home!”
