Chapter 323
In the fitting room, while Audrey was trying on her clothes, Harold's voice continued to come in from the outside.
"Audrey, you should listen to me and try on the red one which definitely makes you full of charm. I am your younger brother. How can I harm you? Audrey ... why are you so quiet? Did you hear what I just said?"
Audrey had heard Harold's words but continued to change her clothes as if she didn't.
As Harold continued to persuade Audrey, She walked out of the fitting room with changed clothes.
"Audrey, there you are. Hurry up and change into the one I chose for you ..." Harold continued to persuade Audrey. But when his gaze fell on Audrey, he stopped talking.
Even wearing that simple dress, Audrey still looked so stunning.
The sapphire blue dress didn't suit most people. Thanks to her fair skin, she didn't look tasteless with it but eye-catching instead. A very simple dress with an elaborate design made her fashionable and noble, whose temperament seemed to be totally changed.
If Bryson was the king, Audrey was the queen with no doubt.
Audrey turned her body slightly and glanced at Harold's face from the corner of her eyes, "How is this dress?"
It couldn't be any better.
Harold couldn't describe with words but only gave a thumbs up.
Without hearing Harold's reply, she turned her back and saw Harold giving her a thumbs up. She raised her eyebrows slightly.
Not only Harold, but even the waitress was stunned by Audrey in the blue dress.
As simple it looked, the color of sapphire blue and the design of it didn't suit ordinary people. There were a few who had tried on the dress before, who all looked weird with no elegance.
However, it not only suited Audrey but also very well.
The waitress praised, "Miss, you look so beautiful in this dress."
Audrey looked at herself in the mirror carefully. It looked good, so she said quickly, "I'll take this one. Please print me the bill!"
The waitress replied happily, "Yes, Miss, please wait a moment!"
After buying clothes, Audrey was leaving the shopping mall with Harold.
There was a large billboard standing in the square. In this nighttime, it was particularly bright, on which the picture was also clearer and brighter.
Audrey and Harold were going to have dinner in the restaurant nearby. When they passed by, Harold took a casual glance at it. Suddenly, he was frozen in place with clenched hands, staring at the bulletin board above his head.
"There is a Sichuan restaurant and a Hunan restaurant not far way ahead. Where you would like to go?" Audrey asked Harold as she walked ahead. However, she did not hear Harold's answer.
She looked to her side in surprise and found that Harold did not follow her. She turned her back and saw Harold standing not far away from the billboard and staring at it.
The expression on his face was anger ... unwillingness and impatience.
What was going on?
Audrey glanced at the board.
On it was news that the genius of pharmacology in Peace City, Cane Newell, who had returned to Peace City after winning the grand Nobel Prize in pharmacy. He was about to hold a press conference at the conference center in the opposite.
It was said that Cane was only a junior student.
Audrey looked at Harold strangely, "Quentin, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Harold retracted his gaze. The previous expression on his face had already gone. "Nothing. Aren't we going to eat? Where are we going?"
Audrey frowned as she stared at Harold. Seeing that he really looked fine, she felt a little relieved.
"There is a Sichuan restaurant and a Hunan restaurant not far way ahead. Which one do you prefer?"
"Whatever!"
Audrey frowned with more concern.
At any other time, Harold would have pointed to a restaurant with excitement. However, this time, he did not but told her whatever was ok.
His reaction was a bit strange.
Harold seemed not to want to talk. Even if she asked him now, he wouldn't tell her anything. So Audrey put away the thought of asking him.
"Then let's go to the Sichuan Restaurant!"
"Alright!"
Harold obediently followed Audrey to the Sichuan Restaurant.
Throughout the meal, Harold seems to have something weighing heavily on his mind. The restaurant was very close to the billboard, and they were sitting by the window. Therefore, he kept looking out at the billboard from time to time while eating. Every time he looked at it, his face became more gloomy.
This expression of Harold impressed Audrey.
She bore the name on the billboard in mind in order to find out later who Cane was and why Harold had such an abnormal reaction.
However, when Audrey returned, Bryson called her and told her the meeting place for the next night.
At the thought of meeting Bryson's parents the next night, Audrey couldn't help herself being nervous and forgetting about Cane.
...
In the morning, Audrey got up early. She changed into her usual clothes and put those for the night meeting into her bag. She would put them on before going to see Bryson's parents.
When she was leaving, her phone rang. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
It was Madam Cordova who called.
Audrey felt guilty when she saw Madam Cordova's number.
"Hello, Grandma. Why are you calling at this time?"
"Elliana, your parents are coming back this morning. Are you going to pick them up at the airport?"
Audrey replied, "Grandma, I have something to do this morning, so I can't go. Bryson said he would pick them up."
"What is more important than your parents?"
"Grandma, as you know, I am a lawyer now. There is a case that comes to a trail today. If I won't be there, my client will lose the suit and even be sentenced."
Madam Cordova was intimidated and immediately said, "I see. Then forget it. You should go to court. Since you can't pick up your parents in the morning, you should go home for lunch at noon. Right?"
"The afternoon break is too short. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it. Grandma, you don't have to cook my lunch at noon."
"Alright, that's all we can do. Remember to eat lunch at noon. Your health is the most important. Do you remember?"
"Got it!"
Audrey let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone.
Looking at the time on the phone, she thought, Bryson's parents should arrive at the airport at this time.
