Chapter 286
Adrian Sinclair was about to speak.
Anna Ross suddenly paled.
She quickly turned to block the car window.
Her fingers tightened slightly.
"I'm hungry."
"Let's go back to the company to eat."
She stared intently at him.
Adrian's gaze flickered.
He didn't ask further.
He pressed the accelerator to speed up.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced discreetly at the rearview mirror.
Her frown deepened.
Why were they together?
And acting so intimate.
"What were you looking at just now?"
Adrian's voice suddenly rang out.
Anna's fingers trembled.
She hurriedly changed the subject.
"The restaurant downstairs has new menu items."
"Let me treat you."
Adrian raised an eyebrow at her.
"Not short on money lately?"
Her heart ached.
She was short on money.
Very short.
The car came to a stop.
His assistant quickly came over to take over.
Adrian walked straight toward the restaurant.
"Aren't you going to treat me?"
He looked back at her.
Anna followed him.
She looked at the restaurant sign with dread.
Adrian stopped walking.
The server was about to speak.
He shook his head slightly.
The server understood and remained silent.
He led them to their seats.
Anna reached for the menu.
Adrian took it first.
"I'll order."
He flipped through the menu.
Anna looked down at her phone.
The balance was despairing.
She messaged Mia Lawrence.
There was no reply.
Adrian pushed the menu toward her.
"Do you want to add anything?"
Anna glanced at the prices.
She immediately gave up.
"This is enough."
Her voice sounded weak.
The server looked at Adrian.
He nodded in confirmation.
"It's a bit expensive."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Adrian's eyes held a hint of amusement.
Anna forced herself to appear calm.
"Of course I'm okay."
The food arrived quickly.
She ate without tasting anything.
After the meal, she stood up to pay.
Adrian stopped her.
"Don't pay."
"Let's go back to the company."
He walked out of the restaurant.
The server bowed respectfully.
Anna stood frozen for a moment.
Then quickly followed him.
