Chapter 360 An Inexplicable Man

Jean hadn’t come to her senses. Their food was served between them. It interrupted their conversation. Jean took in the fragrance of the food. She wanted to ease the awkward air. “A friend recommended me this dish. Try it.”

She wanted to be as casual as possible. But… why did the air get colder? She took a few bites and realized that Edgar hadn’t moved his utensils at all. It was clear that he was displeased.

Jean felt like her food was tasteless if she ate alone. She thought about it left and right. Her head was about to blow up. She still didn’t understand how she had offended him.

“Is the food not to your taste?” She mumbled. Edgar’s fingers tightened as he held on to the coffee cup. He was about to take out the bracelet in his pocket when someone walked over.

The figure stopped next to Jean. A gentle yet deep voice said, “What a coincidence, Ms. Eyer.” Hugo greeted Jean first before looking at Edgar and nodding slightly at him. “You’re here too, Mr. Royden.”

I’m here too? Edgar’s eyes were filled with frost. It was clear that he was expressing animosity. It was as if Hugo hadn’t noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’m meeting someone upstairs. I’ll be going to my seat.”

So he had deliberately come over just to greet Jean? The rage in Edgar’s heart started burning. Jean was completely unaware. She assumed that his business affairs were unsatisfactory or that Royden Group would be rivals with Rukh Group in the future.

After all, Edgar was a workaholic. He didn’t care about anything else other than work.

“Alright, Mr. Hugo.”

Hearing Jean call Hugo, Edgar lost his appetite.

They treat each other so specially.

Jean even got up to walk Hugo to the elevator. When she got back, Edgar had already picked up his cell phone. His hand was in his pocket, and he stared straight at her.

His gaze made people very uncomfortable.

Jean’s brows furrowed. “Mr. Royden, if you feel…”

“What did you call me?”

“Huh?” He interrupted Jean before she could finish. Hearing what he had asked her, she replied, “Mr. Royden?”

The man’s face turned cold.
