Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 473

The moment he spoke, Anastasia’s gaze snapped toward him.

The man wore a bubblegum-pink suit and tight black leather pants. He strutted in with an exaggerated swing of his hips, and when he gestured, his manicured, sparkling nails caught the light.

He looked like a local, but his hair—dyed a shocking shade of blonde—made him stand out even more.

Anastasia instinctively recoiled, pulling her head back just a fraction as if shielding her eyes from something blinding.

Good grief.

Still, it only took a second for her to piece together who he was from his voice and manner—David.

And from the looks of it, Lauren seemed to know him well. Maybe a little too well.

With a faint, wry smile, Anastasia spoke up. “I made an appointment for a photo session.”

David couldn’t have looked more annoyed. “I didn’t receive any appointment. Take this young lady downstairs!” He directed the order to a nearby staff member.

Unhurried, Anastasia replied, “Would you like to check your schedule, Mr. David?”

Before David could respond, Lauren let out a soft, haughty laugh. “You must not know who David is,” she said, chin raised. “Do you really think just anyone can book a session with him?”

David gave a self-satisfied nod, not even bothering to look Anastasia in the eye.

“Oh, is that so?” Anastasia’s voice remained calm, showing not a trace of embarrassment or discomfort at being told to leave. She turned her gaze on Lauren. “So how did you get in? Are you saying you booked a session?”

David jumped in at once. “Ms. Brennan is a friend of mine. Not everyone is on her level.”

Lauren’s smile widened with satisfaction, and she looked at Anastasia as if pitying her for pretending to be unfazed.

David, noticing Lauren’s obvious dislike for Anastasia, decided to play along. He swept a theatrical, gentlemanly bow in Anastasia’s direction and said, “Today, I’m here only for my friend—Ms. Brennan.”

Lauren, amused by his performance, shot Anastasia a cool glance. “Let’s move on, shall we? We have more important things to do.”
