Chapter 270
"Well, I'm on the west side. It's a little far from Hotel Huasidun. Why don't we have dinner next time?"
Tom declined.
Kaylie's voice became disappointed. "Ah? Why are you there?"
Tom said apologetically, "I just came here to do business. I won't be able to go back for a while. I'm
sorry. We'd better make an appointment next time."
"Okay, let's have dinner next time." Kaylie's voice was filled with endless disappointment and
resentment. She sighed, "Tom, if you were here, you could help out."
When Tom heard this, he was worried. Frowning, he said, "Are you in trouble?"
He was also at the Hotel Huasidun. If Kaylie was really in trouble, he could send someone to help her.
Kaylie said, "Sort of. Someone's annoying me."
Tom could hear someone else talking on the phone, which meant that there were a lot of people there.
Maybe she was at a party.
Tom hated the word "party". In the past two days, he had attended several parties.
After a few more words, he was sure that Kaylie was not in any danger, so he hung up the phone with
ease. Then drank more wine with the employees of his new company. It was getting late, so he decided
to go back home.
However, when he came out of the private room and walked towards the elevator, he suddenly saw a
group of people walking over from the opposite side. One of them was a graceful woman and looked
very familiar.
Apparently, it was Kaylie.
Worst of all, Kaylie saw him too, and their eyes met.
Awkwardness filled the air.
Tom was stunned for a moment, then he quickly lowered his head and turned to walk in another
direction.
This was so awkward. No matter how thick-skinned he was, his face would blush when he was caught
on the spot! Just a few minutes ago, he told Kaylie on the phone that he wasn't here, but he was met a
few minutes later. It was so embarrassing!
Most importantly, with Kaylie's personality, now that she met him, she would definitely pester him,
which gave him a headache.
So the best way was to pretend not to see her. He decided to leave as soon as possible!
However, this method did not work at all, because Kaylie had already seen him, and her eyes widened,
showing a surprised expression.
Kaylie missed Tom very much. After what happened that night, she was sure that she had fallen in love
with Tom. If she had known where did Tom live, she would have directly come to Tom's home!
She had texted and called Tom almost every day, but Tom never paid much attention to her, and even
didn't reply to her texts, which made her upset. She even hid in the quilt and cried.
Because she was too bored and depressed, she agreed to meet new friends at the invitation of her
best friend to see if she could be happy. But she was deceived by her best friend. It was actually a blind
date party. A man had been pestering her all the time and was so annoying.
In desperation, she thought of calling Tom and asking Tom to pretend to be her boyfriend to get her out
of trouble.
Unfortunately, Tom was on the west side, and it would take him almost an hour to drive here, which
made her very disappointed.
But after she had given up, Tom suddenly appeared in front of her!
At that moment, she was completely stunned and thought she was hallucinating.
When she came back to her senses and saw Tom turn around and leave quickly, she was even more
aggrieved. She knew he was hiding from her. Her eyes turned red, and a strong sense of grievance
surged into her heart. She couldn't help but cry out and shouted, "Tom! Stop!"
Her voice was loud, and, it was particularly abrupt and harsh in such a quiet environment. All of a
sudden, everyone's attention was attracted. Especially those young men and women who were walking
with her were shocked and they looked at her in astonishment.
When Tom heard Kaylie's shout, he cursed silently. He had to stop with a bitter smile.
He was really careless this time. Even though he knew that Kaylie was also at the Hotel Huasidun, he
still strutted out. And he really met Kaylie. Alas, he was a fool!
Kaylie couldn't care about the others. She walked quickly to Tom, her high heels scraping the floor.
Tom had no choice but to turn around and smile dryly. Looking at Kaylie, who was walking toward him
with an aggrieved and angry face, he waved and said, "Hey, Miss Knight, what a coincidence. I didn't
expect to meet you here, hahaha."
Kaylie didn't smile at his words but just stared at him straight. His beautiful eyes were red, full of
grievances and resentment. Those who saw the scene would think that Tom was a bad man and had
hurt Kaylie, so Kaylie showed this expression.
In fact, Tom was aggrieved. He and Kaylie were just friends and he had never taken advantage of
Kaylie at all.
Kaylie stared at him without saying anything, which made Tom's heart tremble. He cleared his throat
and said, "Miss Knight, I was just joking with you. Actually, I was eating at the Hotel Huasidun too. I
wanted to find you later."
Kaylie remained silent and looked at him with a resentful expression, which made others
misunderstand.
At this moment, the young men and women who had walked with Kaylie came to them. There were
three women and four men. One of them was the most handsome man dressed in famous brands and
perfume. He was in his early thirties, and he looked at Tom with hostility.
Kaylie took a deep breath and said to Tom, "Why did you lie to me? You're here but you don't tell me.
Am I that annoying to you?"
Tom wanted to say yes, but when he saw Kaylie's aggrieved look and red eyes, he knew he couldn't
say so. Once he said that, Kaylie would definitely cry out, and he didn't know how to react to this
situation.
He sighed helplessly in her heart. How unlucky he was! How could he meet Kaylie even though he
came out for dinner with his staff of the new company?
Was he so attractive to women? But he had always been low-key.
"What are you talking about? Why would I hate you? Don't think too much. I was just doing a business
meeting and didn't have time to see you, so I had to tell you a white lie. Miss Knight, you're so
considerate. You won't blame m, right?" Tom said guiltily. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Kaylie stared at him and snorted heavily. Her eyes were saying that she would settle the score with him
later. Then she grabbed Tom's arm, kissed Tom on the face, and said to the man opposite her, "Tristan,
haven't you asked me if I had a boyfriend? He's my boyfriend, Tom.
