Stand Me Up? I'll Marry His Billionaire Uncle novel Chapter 209

Attorney Glenn glanced around the table, intending for Mr. Lawson to take the seat of honor, but Stellan didn’t seem to care.

With lazy indifference, he gestured, “No need for the fuss. I’ll take your seat, Attorney Glenn—if you don’t mind switching, that is.”

Sunny’s heart nearly stopped.

Just kill me now. Really, just finish me off and let them have some fun.

Wyatt blinked in surprise for the second time that evening. “Well, all right then. My apologies, Mr. Lawson, I hope you don’t mind the arrangement.”

“Mind?” Stellan’s lips tugged into a cryptic smile. “Not at all. I’m more than happy to.”

The conversation at the table shifted almost instantly. All talk about Austin faded, and now every eye was on Stellan.

He became the center of attention.

Which meant Sunny was stuck right beside the spotlight.

She kept her head down, quietly picking at her food, praying no one would remember her name tonight.

If only she could just fade into the background and survive the evening unnoticed.

But fate has a wicked sense of humor. Now that Austin was no longer center stage, he was desperate to reclaim it.

“Would you like some fish?” Austin offered, placing a piece onto her plate with all the grace of a doting friend.

A chill ran down Sunny’s spine. She didn’t have to look up to feel the daggers being shot at her from the seat beside her.

“Oh—no, thank you, Prosecutor Sheffield. You have it.”

“No worries, Sunny. Really, you can just call me Austin,” he replied with a warm smile. “Austin’s fine.”

Austin?

Stellan’s brow arched. Was this guy for real?

He signaled to the server. “Would you mind bringing a few more sets of serving spoons? It’s more hygienic to use them.”

Austin’s smile twitched. There was no mistaking it—Mr. Lawson’s words were pointed.
