Chapter 21 Business-oriented
Damara was drinking lemonade when she heard Kara’s words and almost choked.
Of course, she knew about Abner’s marriage and was his wife.
She calmly took a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth.
“Yeah, I know. So what?”
Her tone was indifferent as if she didn’t care about Abner’s marital
status.
Orlando raised an eyebrow, surprised by her indifferent attitude.
Erin clenched her fist, but it felt like hitting a pillow.
So what?
Wasn’t her implication clear enough?
This woman was either shamelessly thick-skinned or felt secure in Orlando’s affection.
Kara felt irritated, but she couldn’t let herself appear too impatient or she’d lose the upper hand.
She looked at Abner and returned to her gentle demeanor.
“Abner, it’s been three years since you last came back. You probably don’t know that the restaurant has
a new chef now. He used to study abroad in New Zealand. One of his dishes might suit your taste.”
She grabbed the menu, acting as if she owned the place.

Abner’s face remained calm, showing no extra emotion in his gaze. He neither rejected nor responded
to her words.
Some people appeared cold but were sharp. Dealing with such people was quite challenging.
Was it part of her duties to ward off romantic interests for her clients? Damara thought.
With this in mind, Damara chuckled slightly, “Bell’s best dish is not on the menu, and today I invited Mr.
Robinson for a meal. If you also want to treat him, you must find another time, Miss.”
Her tone was far from polite, and even Kara, with her thick skin, couldn’t keep it up.
As she got up, she looked deeply at Damara, who was still smiling.
Their eyes met, and no conversation was needed. It was as if they had already engaged in a silent
battle.
Kara tightly gripped her purse, almost crushing the leather.
She was just a tiny interior designer, yet she dared to be arrogant. Kara would not let this woman go.
“I was being rude just now, Abner. Let’s meet another time when you’re free.”
Abner raised his eyebrows. Kara was usually not easily brushed off, but he didn’t expect her to leave
so quickly today.
His lips curved slightly, and he casually muttered, “Hmm”.
After Kara left, Damara lifted her gaze and smiled. “Mr. Robinson, would you like milk or coffee in the
morning?”

She acted like that little incident never happened.
Was it that she was carefree or didn’t mind that he was already married?
“Coffee.”
Abner leaned back slightly, and his hands crossed naturally in front of him.
“I remember you have a stomach problem. You better not drink it on an empty stomach.”
Damara said this very naturally. After ordering two cups of hot coffee, she looked at the waiter and
said, “Excuse me, please let Bell know that we want the usual.”
The waiter turned around, puzzled by her request, but still went to inform the chef.

Abner raised his eyebrows slightly, “You know the chef here pretty well, huh?”
Damara’s cheeks flushed slightly, partly due to her fever. The world seemed blurry before her eyes, but
she composed herself and said, “Bell’s signature dishes have an artistic touch. I think you might like
them.”
Abner instantly understood. She genuinely wanted to invite him for a meal, but at the same time, she
tried to gauge his food preferences and infer his tastes.
Indeed, she was business-oriented.
A hint of dissatisfaction flickered in his mind.
“You work so hard. What does your husband do then?”

Damara blinked, locking her misty eyes on him, oozing allure.

Abner’s gaze deepened as he said, carrying a meaningful undertone, “A good guy wouldn’t let his wife
work her as s off like this.”
Damara didn’t expect him to bring up her marriage. She pressed her lips and took a sip of water,
suppressing the discomfort inside her.
How should she respond to that?
