Chapter 303
“It doesn’t even take half an hour to get here from The Croft Tower.”
Josephine didn’t dare admit it was Claude who had tipped her off, so she lied,
“I was worried Xav might be hungry, so I contacted Leo to get him some dinner. Leo said he was on his way.”
Leona replied, “Well, ask Leo what’s going on. See if he’s even left yet.”
So Josephine texted Claude, [Mr. Beltran still hasn’t shown up. What’s happening?]
Claude, who was already home, was surprised to see the message. [Mr. Beltran didn’t make it to the club?]
[He left over an hour ago.]
Then it occurred to him that maybe he’d misunderstood. Perhaps when Mr. Beltran left, he wasn’t going to the club, but home.
[Hold on, let me ask the driver.]
So Claude texted the driver, [Amy, did you get Mr. Beltran home?]
[I can see he’s not in a good mood today. I’m a bit worried. Has he had dinner yet?]
At that moment, Amy and Xavier were in a small restaurant in an alley, drinking over a few Tapas–style side dishes.
Seeing Xavier down two glasses in a row, Amy quickly said, “Mr. Beltran, wait for the pasta to arrive. You should have a bowl of pasta to line your stomach before you drink more,”
Xavier put down his glass and gestured for Amy to pour him another drink.
Just then, Amy’s phone rang. He took the opportunity to say, “Excuse me, Mr. Beltran. It might be from my wife. My daughter had an upset stomach yesterday, I’ll just see if she needs me for anything.”
Xavier was a considerate boss, and besides, Amy had been with him for several years and was his most trusted subordinate, so he nodded.

He picked up his fork and ate some food
Amy looked at his phone, saw it was from Claude, and replied: [Mr. Beltran and I are having dinner right now |
Claude: Eating out at a restaurant?]
Amy Yes 1
Claude probed. [Mr. Beltran left after hearing Mr. Henderson was looking for him for a drink. I thought he was going to a bar ]
Amy Mr. Beltran didn’t mention going to a bar.]
Claude thought for a moment, [So where are you guys eating?
It’s not that little restaurant near your place, is it?]
Amy replied to him, | Yes. |
Claude had been to this small restaurant with Amy before, and had heard Amy mention bringing Mr. Beltran here once, which is why Claude ventured the question.
After getting the answer, Claude told Josephine, [Mr. Beltran and Amy went to a small restaurant for dinner]
Josephine was surprised when she saw the message. Why would Xavier skip the bar and go to a small restaurant for dinner with a driver instead?
[Why?]
Claude replied to her, Mr. Beltran trusts Amy a lot. When he’s in a bad mood, he sometimes eats and drinks with Amy J
Josephine frowned slightly.
Xavier is in a bad mood?
Why?
Because of Aveline?
[Where is that little restaurant?]
Claude thought for a moment, sent her the address, and added a reminder, [You can’t say I’m the one who told you.]

Josephine looked at the address and replied, Don’t worry. You were kind enough to help me. how could I get you fired?]
Amy put down his phone just as the pasta was served, and he breathed a sigh of relief
