Chapter 40

Bruce looked up and happened to see Joanna too.

She was wearing a black below–the–knees skirt. The black heightened her delicate swan neck and collarbone.

Although the dress didn’t expose her bosoms, she still looked gorgeous and sexy.

It was the first time he had seen her in such revealing clothes.

Her entire collarbone and her calves were exposed.

Bruce frowned. He felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

What made him even angrier was that Jaydon was now intimately holding Joanna’s shoulders while eyeing her with adoration.

He could tell from Jaydon’s eyes that the latter really liked her.

The thought of them doing something unspeakable after finishing their meal irritated him.

Bruce was flooded with complicated emotions.

He coughed awkwardly and loosened his cravat with an icy cold expression.

“Bruce, what’s up?”

“Nothing. Go ahead and place the order.”

Roxanne’s face fell.

She had just ordered.

“Bruce, why do you seem so distracted?”

“No, I’m not!”

Bruce tried to contain his irritation but couldn’t keep his eyes off Joanna.

Roxanne finally realized that something was wrong.

She looked in the direction of Bruce’s gaze.

“Joanna!”

Roxanne gaped when she saw Joanna.

A surge of jealousy swept over her instantly.

“No wonder Bruce has such a reaction. So, he has seen Joanna,” she mused.

“Why don’t you say hello to her, Bruce?” Roxanne said sourly.

“What for? Let’s have a toast.”

Bruce raised the red wine glass in front of him.
