Chapter 218

Vivian Bennett wanted no one to know about her "relationship" with Zachary Hudson that night.

She thought they had made everything clear at the hotel.

She never expected Zachary to follow her here.

What did he want?

Did he intend to keep pestering her?

Vivian gritted her teeth and shook off his hand. "I'm not hiding. Why would I hide from you, Mr. Hudson?"

Zachary narrowed his deep, captivating eyes.

She wanted to pretend in front of her colleagues, but he wouldn't let her have her way.

His gaze locked onto her. "Why didn't you answer my calls?"

"You called me? Sorry, I was too busy today to check my phone." Vivian feigned calmness.

The excuse was flimsy, but Zachary didn't call her out.

"Are you done now? Can we go?"

"Go where?"

"Dinner. I already booked a restaurant."

"No. I'm busy. I already made plans with my colleagues."

Vivian thought her tone made their relationship clear, but everyone watching their exchange saw a couple having a lover's quarrel.

It seemed the rumors weren't unfounded.

Hadn't Vivian been linked to the young master of the Hudson family before?

So it was true.

The colleagues around them seemed convinced of their relationship.

Zachary's smile grew more triumphant.

His eyes swept over the whispering female employees of Sullivan Group. He suddenly asked, "Where are you going for dinner?"

The chattering group of female colleagues fell silent instantly.

Oh my, the young master Hudson was asking about their dinner plans. Who dared to answer?

Vivian felt a surge of satisfaction.

She raised an eyebrow. "We're going for spicy hot pot!"

"What pot?" Zachary had never heard of it.

Vivian replied impatiently, "Spicy hot pot! It's far away, in the University District!"

She emphasized it deliberately.

She mainly wanted to remind Zachary.

He better not follow.

Their dinner location and food definitely didn't suit his status.

She thought saying this would make a picky nobleman like Zachary give up.

Instead, he spoke with great interest.

"The University District? Great, I'll join you!"

Silence.

Only astonishment remained!

Vivian stared at him wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

Was he crazy?

He must be joking.

But Zachary was serious.

He turned to the group of Sullivan employees. "Do you all know the way? Ride with me!"

Everyone was terrified. How could they trouble the young master Hudson to drive?

They all shook their heads like rattles. "No, no, that's too kind of you, Mr. Hudson. We'll take a taxi."

"What about you?" He turned to Vivian again.
