Chapter 58 Share the Table
Imogen compiled Cordelia’s video and posted it on major video platforms in the past few days. The traffic had brought her a lot of income.
That night, Imogen invited Cordelia to a meal, and they discussed their ideas for the next step.
“Cordelia?”
As soon as Lamia entered the restaurant, she saw Cordelia from a distance and immediately called her loudly.
Cordelia was a little surprised and looked up. She saw Lamia follow three men into the restaurant, who were Elijah, Ben, and Jacob.
“Jacob is back?” Imogen said in a low voice.
Cordelia didn’t know Jacob but still nodded to him.
Jacob was very handsome and had delicate facial features.
Seeing Jacob shaking hands with Cordelia and Imogen, Lamia muttered unhappily, “We’re not at a negotiating table. Why did you make it so official?”
Jacob immediately proposed to share the table. Cordelia and Imogen looked at each other. They were a little unhappy, but they felt too embarra*sed to refuse.
Lamia asked cautiously, “Cordelia, have you and your friend already ordered?”
Cordelia said with a smile, “Yeah, the food should be served soon, so we don’t want to disturb your party.”
Elijah said flatly, “It’s okay. I’ll ask the waiter to find a bigger table. My treat.”
Cordelia and Imogen were both speechless.
They didn’t want to have a meal with Elijah and the others at all.
Since Elijah had decided, Lamia couldn’t say anything else.
She followed behind unwillingly and watched Cordelia and Imogen vigilantly as if she were afraid they would communicate with Jacob too much.
After they entered the box, Cordelia and Imogen found two seats next to each other.
Then, Elijah and Ben sat on their sides.
“The driver is outside. You can drink if you want,” Elijah said softly.
Lamia looked at Elijah, widening her eyes. “Elijah, isn’t Cordelia trying to get pregnant? How can she drink?”
After Lamia spoke, the whole room suddenly fell into silence.
Cordelia’s face was gloomy, and she looked at Lamia coldly.
What do you look at me like that? I didn’t say anything wrong!” Lamia was used to being arrogant and always thought she was superior to other women.
Hearing this, Elijah said casually, “She’s my wife. It’s none of your business.”
“Elijah…” Lamia wanted to retort but stopped speaking when Elijah gave her a look.
Imogen was envious and whispered to Cordelia, “Your husband is so manly!”
Cordelia just smiled and didn’t speak.
She was actually a little surprised. After all, when Lamia used to speak without thinking in public, Elijah never stopped her.
What happened? That was not like him today.
Even though Elijah was abnormal, Cordelia was still calm. She wouldn’t be touched just because he defended her.
His attitude towards her always depended on his mood. Especially recently, he often had mood swings. She didn’t want her mood to be affected by his attitude as it was very
uncomfortable.
Later, during their conversation, Cordelia learned Jacob had just returned from studying abroad. He had known Elijah and Ben for a long time, and they had a very good relationship.
As for Lamia, she was obviously fascinated by Jacob.
Suddenly, Cordelia lel
She dodged subconsciously, but it kept chasing her.
When she realized it was Elijah who was teasing her under the table, she gave him a glare.
Cordelia couldn’t believe he dared to tease her in public.
What was crazier was that he touched her thigh directly through
her skirt.
