Urging Him to Get a Divorce novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92

Then he said, “I’m hosting a dinner tonight to celebrate. I hope Mr. Clarke and Aveline can make it.”

Bernard, afraid Aveline would refuse again, quickly said, “Of course.”

Aveline knew she couldn’t refuse this business dinner. Seeing Bernard and Xavier both look over at her, she gave a small smile and nodded.

“Of course.”

It was still too early for dinner, so Aveline and Bernard went to Simon’s department to discuss how to proceed with the project.

This was Aveline’s area of expertise and a topic she was passionate about. With Xavier not around, she was relaxed and spoke eloquently.

Simon looked at Aveline with admiration, thinking that if Mr. Beltran didn’t have it in for her, he would definitely sing her praises to him.

With Aveline as the architect and Bernard as the consultant, the Mount Ardwood Theme Park project was bound to be a huge success and gain international acclaim.

Then, the’s profits would soar because of this project, which was also a long–term, high–margin venture.

When it was time to leave work, the group went downstairs for the meal.

Aveline didn’t see Claude; Xavier had brought a female assistant and a female secretary.

Bernard noticed it too, whispering to Aveline with a faint smile, “He’s probably afraid you’d be unhappy.”

Aveline gave a faint smile, but she didn’t think so.

What kind of person was Xavier? She had known him for so many years, stayed by his side, cared for him, been inti- mate with him; she knew him better than anyone.

Could his heartlessness and coldness toward her really be an act?

But at work, he was meticulous. He valued Bernard, which was why he had to choose her as the project’s architect. And it was also because of Bernard that he didn’t let Claude come to the business dinner.

After all, it was obvious to everyone that both Aveline and Bernard were upset when the contract was signed.

In the parking lot, Xavier suddenly said to Aveline, “Amy will drive for you.”

Just then, Xavier’s driver, Amy, walked up to Aveline.

Aveline gave Xavier a cold look, as if to say, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Xavier gave a slight smile. “Don’t stare at me like that. You don’t know the way to the restaurant we’re going to, so it’ll be easier if Amy drives.”

With that, he turned and walked away without waiting for Aveline to react.

Seeing Aveline staring coldly at Xavier’s back, Amy said awkwardly, “Ma’am…”

Aveline saw that everyone else was getting in their cars, and not wanting to hold them up, she took the car keys from her purse and handed them to Amy.

When they got to the restaurant, Aveline glanced at the sign and realized it was a Spicy Cuisine place.

It seemed Xavier knew Bernard liked Spicy Cuisine, so he arranged the business dinner here.

Although the restaurant was in the city, Aveline had never been. It wasn’t too big or too small, but the decor was exquisite, clearly catering to a high–end clientele.

The group walked into the lobby, and the manager greeted them warmly, addressing Xavier.

Obviously, Xavier was a frequent customer and was familiar with the manager.

When the waitstaff saw Xavier, most of them couldn’t control their expressions, stealing surprised glances at him.

Aveline wasn’t surprised. With Xavier’s status and handsome looks, what girl wouldn’t take a few extra glances.

Xavier and Bernard walked at the front, while Aveline was at the back, accompanied by the female assistant and sec-

retary.

Aveline even suspected Xavier had specifically asked them to accompany her. She didn’t know the purpose, but it probably wasn’t with good intentions.
