Ex-husband's Sweet Trap
Chapter 2: A Chance Encounter At The Restaurant

At the West Siena Restaurant.

As soon as the waiter handed over the menu, Logan grabbed it with his chubby little hands. He flipped through the pages with a frown on his face.

"Mommy, why are there only steak, salad, or foie gras here? We had those in America and I'm sick of it!"

Luz coughed awkwardly as she glanced at Declan and took the menu from Logan. "You should order, don't mind Logan, he's just a kid."

Declan had a gentle smile on his face. "It's okay. You don't need to be so careful around me. Logan is like my own child."

His words were so touching, even the waitress blushed and glanced surreptitiously at him.

Luz blushed and avoided Declan's eyes. She hurriedly handed the menu to the waiter and said, "Two French steaks, a children's set meal, and one foie gras. Thank you."

"Sure. It'll be out in a moment."

After the waiter left, Declan poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Luz. "What are you planning to do now?" he asked.

"The HQ transferred me to the M&R company as the head secretary," Luz replied, as she took a deep breath.

Declan frowned. "M&R? That small media company that is close to bankruptcy?"

She was noncommital. "They used their last capital to invest in our headquarters in America and asked for a reputable team to help them out. I was chosen for the team. What are the chances?" While Luz was talking, the waiter served up their hot drinks. She moved to the side to make room for her.

At this moment, several figures approached from the end of the corridor not far away from where they were seated. Their footsteps were audible in the quiet corridor.

Among them was the sound of high heels.

"Mr. Maynard, are you really not going to consider our project anymore? We will definitely spend a lot of money to support a beautiful and talented actress like Emily. We think this movie will do really well!" A middle-aged man in a suit, who looked like a manager, trailed behind them.

"We need a good and reputable movie with value, not a run of the mill one with some sex secnes."

Henry Maynard held a lit cigar in one hand and stuck his other hand into his pocket. The woman hanging on his arm beside him was one of the four most popular celebrities in recent times - Emily Hurst. The yellowish light illuminated her soft features, revealing a dainty nose and red lips. Her thick eyelashes left shadows under her eyes.

She had a smile on her face as if she was holding the most outstanding man in the entire North City. For her, it was a kind of pride.

"Our movie is not run of the mill! We do have some sex scenes in the movie, but Mr Maynard, nowadays, sex sells. I don't think there's anything wrong with that," the middle-aged man continued. Henry released a cloud of smoke as if he did not hear him. Emily, on the other hand, stopped in her tracks.

She tilted her head and said with some amusement, "Mr. Wang, do you really not understand what Henry is saying? With our relationship, do you really think he will let me film any sex scenes?" The way she called him was so intimate that the middle-aged man was stunned for a minute.
