Chapter 20 A Girlfriend Chapter 20 A Girlfriend As soon as Jaziel returned to Lakefield Estates , he noticed a sedan parked right at his mansions entrance , As Jaziel stepped out of the car , the door of the sedan swung open as well . A tall , beautiful woman emerged . It was Kayla . Upon seeing Kayla , Jaziel was also taken aback . Why are you here ? Are you here to repay the money ? The day she left , he had given Kayla three hundred for her taxi fare . Although he didnt really care about the money , it was , after all , borrowed from him by Kayla . Hence , it was only perfectly justified for her to repay it . With a smile . Kayla said , Im not just here to repay you . In gratitude for your hospitality . Id like to treat you to a meal . Lassche , would you do me the honor of joining me ? If you reject me , youll make me sad After she had finished speaking , Kayla looked at Jaziel with a face full of anticipation . In truth , Jaziel barely ate anything when he was at Susannahs . He wasnt pleased with the fact that Timothy , Bennett , and the others changed their attitudes toward him . Thus , going out again to eat something else wasnt entirely out of the question . Moreover , having saved Kayla , it was only natural that she would want to repay him . Therefore , Jaziel gave a slight nod and said , All right , then . Quickly , Jaziel settled himself into Kaylas sedan and left the mansion . Leaning against the car door , Sean took a drag from his cigarette , his gaze lingering on the departing sedan , and he was lost in deep thought . Jaziel sure has a way with women … Kayla drove Jaziel to a restaurant , a place only known to those within their circle . The surrounding environment was beautiful and tranquil , carrying a hint of a serene pathway leading to a secluded place . Perhaps the guests didnt go there solely for the food , but they were more drawn to the tranquility that took them away from the hustle and bustle . The owner was a graceful young woman , and she affectionately greeted Kayla , Hi , Ms. Simultaneously , she subtly took a glance at Jaziels face That was the first time Kayla had brought a man to dine alone at the restaurant . Thus , it piqued her curiosity about Jaziels identity . Nevison , the dishes you ordered are prepared . Should we start serving now the young woman asked . 1/3 Chapter 20 A Girlfriend Sure . Kayla and Jaziel made their way toward a private room This kind of exclusive restaurant wasnt frequented by ordinary people . As Jaziel passed by one of the private rooms , he could help but take a second glance . Inside , he saw two familiar figures , Heather and Selina . Surprisingly , the two of them were dining together . Jaziel then recalled the last time he bumped into Selina at Dominion Group . When Selina mentioned knowing the CEO of Dominion Group , she was probably referring to Heather . Jaziel and Kayla soon settled down in the reserved private room . Jaziel pulled out a cigarette , about to light it , when he heard a conversation between Selina and Heather from next door . Selina , I asked you to meet up this time because I need your help with something . Heather said . Heather , were like sisters . You can just speak your mind . Theres no need for formalities . Selinas tone was one of displeasure . All right . Im sorry . Heather playfully shook Selinas arm in a rush of affection . Once Selinas face broke into a smile , Heather finally said , Recently , Dominion Group managed to secure a piece of land down south . Were planning to develop a commercial district there . A construction company shown interest in taking on our project , but their quote was exceedingly high , so we didnt end up collaborating with them . Unexpectedly , that construction company isnt a legitimate business . They harbor resentment and cause trouble daily , making it impossible for our project to proceed . I had someone negotiate with their boss , who then arranged to meet with me tomorrow . The company is notorious for its underhanded tactics . From what Ive gathered , they have a penchant for solving problems with their fists . However , you know Im a bona fide businesswoman . Are you saying you want me to back you up ? Selina asked . She was born into a prestigious combat family , and her combat prowess was exceptionally remarkable . Of course not . Heather quickly shook her head . Selina , dont you know what your status is ? Getting you to deal with those hooligans is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut . Moreover , considering your status , its not appropriate for you to get involved in such matters . I just want you to introduce me to a skilled fighter who can help me hold my ground . I know youve been trained in combat arts since you were young , and youve met quite a few experts . After hearing that , Selina nodded and said , I see … In fact , I should personally handle your matter , but my status indeed is a bit sensitive . I happen to know a highly skilled individual from the fighting community , Master Warrink , who resides in Cadrexia . Hes a practitioner of Core Boxing , and he has considerable strength . He should be more than capable of holding his own against the other party 2/3 ။ 14:53 Wed , Nov 27 Chapter 20 A Girlfriend +10 Free Coins Thats a relief , Selina . Youve really lifted a weight off my heart , said Heather joyfully . Jaziel couldnt help but fall into deep thought after he heard their conversation . Why is a construction company resorting to such despicable methods ? Dominion Group was Jaziels company , yet Heather didnt even report to him . It made sense , though . As the CEO of the company , Heather couldnt possibly bother Jaziel with every little thing . It would make her seem incompetent . She probably wanted to handle it on her own . Having heard what had transpired , there was no way Jaziel could just turn a blind eye . Engrossed in his thoughts , Jaziel didnt notice that right next to him , Kayla was sneakily pulling out her phone to take a picture of him . It was often said that a man who was focused was the most enchanting . At that moment , in Kaylas eyes , Jaziel was simply brimming with allure . By the time Jaziel returned to his senses , Kayla had already put away her phone . The dishes then began to arrive one after the other . Jaziel , isnt it a bit unfair of you to be daydreaming while dining with a beauty like me ? Kayla intentionally remarked . Im truly sorry . I was a bit lost in my thoughts just now , Jaziel said with a smile . Feeling genuinely hungry , he immediately began to pick up food with his fork . Well , Jaziel , do you have a girlfriend ? Kayla suddenly asked , catching Jaziel off guard . Huh ? Im just released from prison , an ex convict . How could I possibly have a girlfriend ? At that moment , what unexpectedly flashed through Jaziels mind was the image of Kimberly . The woman he had once deeply loved was , ironically , the one who hurt him the most . Thats good , then , Kayla blurted out . Immediately after , her face flushed a deep shade of red .
