Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Unworthy of Being Called a Friend

Chapter 249

Alexander Foster left the final decision to Chloe Collins.

Using unfamiliarity with the surrounding area as an excuse, he let her choose a place.

Without any hesitation, Chloe picked a restaurant with high online ratings.

It was quite far from their location, so they needed to drive there.

Unfortunately, they hit traffic during the evening rush hour.

Alex turned on the car’s music, and the romantic, soothing melody washed away their impatience and irritation.

Chloe didn’t seem to be in a hurry, leaning her head back and closing her eyes to rest.

Soon, she heard the music volume decrease, and the car windows closed, drowning out the outside noise.

Her forehead suddenly felt itchy, and his breath was very close.

She kept her eyes closed and her breathing steady, but her heart was stirring up turbulent waves.

She didn’t know what he was doing, but he was very close to her without touching her.

His phone vibrated, and he hung up in a second, decisively but without any panic.

Time passed quietly, and the sound of car horns came from behind.

The next second, Chloe felt the warmth beside her recede, and the car slowly started moving forward.

She didn’t open her eyes until they reached their destination, her eyes showing no sign of tiredness.

Alex leaned over to unbuckle her seatbelt, his voice gentle: "We’re here."

Chloe stared into his eyes, hesitating for two seconds, then nodded and got out of the car as if nothing had happened.

The two walked side by side, just reaching the doorway when they bumped into two acquaintances.

Raine Nolan and Sebastian Spence, who were just chatting and walking out, were both taken aback when they saw Chloe and Alex— their reactions much larger than those of the pair.

Sebastian’s gaze shifted from Chloe to Alex, and with a smile, he approached: "Alex, what a coincidence, how come you’re also here for dinner in such a remote place?"

"Pleasure." Alexander responded with indifference.

Raine stood beside Sebastian, instinctively shrinking back and not saying anything.

She couldn’t forget the embarrassment caused by these two at that banquet.

One unleashed dogs to chase her.

The other caused a mishap in front of the Fragrance Industry veterans, angered Tristan Collins, and forced her to rely on the Taylor family.

She didn’t want to greet them.

However, Chloe unexpectedly asked: "What were you two talking about?"

Raine’s eyes widened, taken aback.

Why would she ask such a question?

Did she know about Raine’s cooperation with Sebastian?

Impossible! Why would Sebastian ask her for help when she couldn’t even create fragrances? Tristan had openly declared that she was a fake that night!

With that in mind, Raine retorted: "Whatever we were talking about has nothing to do with you, Cousin. I’ve never seen you so concerned about me before."

Chloe looked at her coldly: "If you’re not afraid of karma, then just accept his proposal."

Her words startled Raine once again, making her feel that Chloe knew something.

Sebastian suddenly spoke up: "Alex, I heard you haven’t started preparing for Redolence’s new season’s perfume yet. You’d better hurry up, or your big brother and third brother might steal your chance... Oh, maybe someone by your side can help you..."

His gaze shifted meaningfully to Chloe.

He suddenly scoffed coldly: "However, having that person is just as good as having no one. Some people are cold-hearted and indifferent, not caring to help others or share their talents for the benefit of friends. It’s pitiful to have such a friend."

Alex stared back at him indifferently, and slowly replied: "Those who try to manipulate others using morality are not worthy of being called friends. It’s better to get rid of them and avoid any trouble."

The casual tone and gaze in his words were filled with undisguised mockery.
