All Too Late

“Chris.” Kathleen was embarrassed.

Why did he come too?

“I heard something happened over here. Has it been resolved?” Christopher looked at her with gentle eyes.

“Yes.” Kathleen nodded.

“That’s great.” Christopher flashed a half-smile and said, “If there’s anything else you need, feel free to let me know. I can help you.”

“It’s just something unexpected came up,” explained Kathleen.

Looking at her, Christopher flashed her a smile before turning around and leaving.

Nancy was also looking at Kathleen, her eyes filling with admiration and envy.

Be it, Samuel, the former husband, or Christopher, the fiancé, they were both outstanding men.

I would be satisfied with either of them!

Meanwhile, Kathleen had turned around to prepare the dishes. She spaced out twice during that period.

Christopher’s and Samuel’s appearances were definitely not a coincidence.

However, they might not have expected the other person to be at the scene as well.

Samuel’s purpose was obvious.

Kathleen was not a narcissist, but she could tell the man still had feelings for her.

As for Christopher, she knew he liked her and was currently pursuing her.

Kathleen, unfortunately, did not want either of them.

However, if she were to put the two men together, Samuel was someone from her past.

She had already explained it to Samuel, but the man didn’t understand.

Hence, Kathleen reckoned she could only make things clear through her actions.

An hour later, all of the dishes were served.

Nancy walked over to the table and began introducing the dishes one by one, “The appetizer is a mushroom soup I’ve made. As for the main course, we have almond-coated prawns, black pepper tenderloin roast, lobster, crab-stuffed sole, and prime rib!”

“Did you prepare all these dishes yourself?” asked Samuel in an icy-cold tone.

Nancy was rather a petty person.

She only mentioned the soup was prepared by her and did not mention Kathleen at all.

Hearing Samuel’s question, Nancy grew awkward and said, “I prepared the soup.”
