Dave didn't persist in saying or doing anything further. He had seen the fleeting moment of emotion in her eyes earlier.
For a moment, there was a brief silence between them. Laurent's phone rang, and she took it out. On the screen, the word "Leonardo" appeared in large letters, causing Dave's expression to darken instantly.
Laurent turned and walked to the side to answer the call. Dave could hear her chatting casually with Leonardo on the other end, completely different from the coldness she had shown toward him.
"Want to grab a meal? When?"
"Sure, see you tonight then."
The reason Laurent agreed to eat with Leonardo was that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Plus, Leonardo mentioned that Vivian and Frank would be there as well, so she thought it would be fine to have a meal with a group of friends.
