Chapter 97

"Julia, my boyfriend recommended this restaurant. He said their seafood is excellent. Thank you for helping me get back to the company. I've rrally splurged to bring you here. Just don't eat ino much. You know I'm broke Valerie joked.

"Why come to sich an expensive place if you're broke?" Julia rolled her eyes. "You're tresting me to a meal and then telling me not to enjoy it!" Valerie linked as with Julia affectionately as they entered the restaurant. Tve been here once before with my boyfriend, and I thoug Seeing Valerie's animated expression, Julia couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Valerie looked around for a table, she suddenly stopped. Then, she immediately pulled Julia towards the exit. "Julia, I just remembered there's another restaurant

nearby that also has trally good seafond cuisine. Let's go there instead. I suddenly feel like the food here is just average"

Julia stopped at the entrance and said, "Sance we're already here, why leave! Don't you think it's too much trouble? Let's eat here. Are you worried about money! No worries, it's on me. Besides, I really wants some seafood.

Julia grabbed Valerie and headed inside. The receptionist saw them nigging back and forth. He quickly approached. "Please come inside, ladies. We have plenty of available seats."

The receptionist added. "I suggest you pick a window seat. After 8 pm, you'll have a great view of the city skyline. This is the best spot to enjoy Cromont City's night scenery"

Valerie pulled Julia back, refusing to go inside Julia, panting from the struggle, stopped to catch her breath. "Why are you suddenly resisting going in? Did you see something you shouldn't have? Did you spot your boyfriend?"

Julia smiled mischievously, while Valerie looked embarrassed as she noticed Arya approaching Before Valerie could say anything, Arya's voice sounded from behind Julia. "What a coincidence to see you both here" Arya smiled at Julia as she continued. "Since Harry and "No, thanks" Valerie immediately refus

ed, attempting to leave with Julia.

But Julia's legs seemed glued to the floor as she stared defiantly at Arya. "No need. How could we disturb your romantic date?"

"It wouldn't be a disturbance. This restaurant is quite expensive. I think you two might not be able to afford it. Why not join us? I'm sure Harry wouldn't mind" Arya suggested.

"Who says we can't afford it? Don't underestimate us Valerie stepped forward, standing in front of Julia, glaring at Arya. "You can afford here only because you're with Harry Aren't you using his money? How dare you say such things?"

Arya's face turned unpleasant.

"I've never seen a shameless woman like you, openly seducing someone else's husband. Do you enjoy being involved with married men? Julia has a big heart and won't argue with you. But you can't push it too far, Valerie said sternly, making Arya even more pissed. Julia let go of Valerie's hand and stood in front of Arya. She looked down at her and said with a smile. "Like you said, it's a lovely coincidence that we bumped into each other. Since we're already here, I should go say hello to Harry" x bello

"Julia Arya called out. She only wanted to tell Julia she was with Harry now and to leave them alone. Little did she expect Julia to want to say to him.

Harry had no idea Julia was here, and Arya couldn't stop Julia.

Julia had already approached Harry, who was delicately wiping something off his hands with a tissue. Seeing Julis in front of him, he was surprised But upon spotting Arya, he probably understood

"Hey, Harry What a coincidence. In a city as big as Cromont City, we bump into each other here," Julia said, crossing her arms and giving Harry a disdainful glance. Any goodwill Harry had gained with her over the past few days vanished in that instant.

How could Julia let her mood be affected by Harry? She had been thinking that Harry might be too busy to contact her, only to replace out he was spending time with Arya. So, Harry had just been using her as entertainment these past few days Julia smirked. "Harry, if I recall correctly, this is a public place"

As soon as julia said this, Harry instantly understood what she meant. He had asked Julia to be mindful of her words and actions in public, yet here shie was witnessing him having dinner with Arya.

Compared to Harry being alone with Arya, Julia and Otis's interaction was less ambiguous. After all, Julia hadn't gone out for dinner alone with Otis.

"Julia" Harry called out sternly.

Chapter 97

Julia gave Harry a disdainful look and said, "I won't disturb your lovely dinner here"

As Julia tumed to leave, Harry wanted in follow but was stopped by Arya. "Harry, didn't you just tell me you don't have feelings about Julia? Why do you care about her now! Are you afraid she'll see us together?" Julia slowed her pace upon hearing Arya's words. She thought Harry would explain, but she didn't hear his voice. Without Harry's response, Julia instinctively sped up her steps and walked out of the restaurant,

Julia felt foolish. After spending these past few days with Harry, she had almost thought he treated her well, even entertaining the idea that he might have feelings for her. But it was all her imaginations.

She was delusional, misinterpreting Harry's behavior towards her these past few days. Maybe Harry was only with her to provoke Arya.

With this thought in mind, Julia feli she could melerstand everything now. Harry must have had a falling out with Arya over going to Stredport City to replace her. Since Arya wasn't paying hins attention, be resorted to using her to provoke Arya. Now, Arya and Harry were peace Harry hadn't contacted her today because he had made up with Arya

This was good. Julia felt she wouldn't have to overthink Harry's strange behavior anymore.

She wandered on the street. She even entertained the thought of pursuing Harry to get back at Arya. But now she seemed to be even more unable to control her feelings

Valerie chased after Julia from the restaurant and finally caught up with her. She blocked her path and questioned, "Are you just going to leave like this? Letting those two shameless people continue their dinner?"
