Chapter 177 - Displeased (1/2)

Ch-176

”Did you go on a date with Nathaira?” she asked.

”Yes, how do you know?” he asked.

”That restaurant is opened by a policeman. And his son invited us there for a dinner. I am upstairs in the same restaurant. I thought I was seeing things but now I confirmed. I never thought you would stoop this low!” she yelled at him.

”Woah… chill, little one. If you can accept Eleanor you can even accept Nathaira. Stop saying nonsense and eat your food. Go home and give company to dad.” he said.

”Won't you return?” Katherine asked.

”Nope,” he said.

”Why?” Katherine questioned.

”Because I planned to spend tonight with Nathaira. Now… I am hanging up. Bye,” he said.

Katherine doesn't know why but she was not getting a good feel with the man in her station. Gustav Leshan was being extra friendly with her. He was a 25-year-old man. He was now working as a captain. She has to say at his age he was quite accomplished with his ranks and achievements. And to her luck or bad luck, he was being too close with her. She doesn't want him to be too close to her. But whenever she was near him, she remembers the fact that she was a woman too.

Today he invited her to his dad's restaurant for dinner. When she reached there she saw Cedric and Nathaira were occupying the center table as they ate their food. She saw them talking laughing and Cedric messing with Nathaira. She couldn't hold her anger and called him to spite. But all she got in return was… her brother's taunts. Like a puffing rabbit… she puffed her cheeks displeasedly. But she was unaware of the fact that a pair of eyes were looking at her curiously.

”What happened?” Gustav Leshan asked.

”My brother is so annoying. He hung the call on me!” she said as she puffed her cheeks again.

”I won't hang up any calls on you,” he said suddenly making her frown. When she realized what he said her eyes widened in shock. She blushed at him. Suddenly her heart turned erratic.

”You are blushing,” he pointed at her cheeks. She blinked cutely at him as she blushed more before lowering her head.

Picking a glass, she drank water as she felt hot and thirsty. ”It's not like I will call him,” she mumbled to herself in a low voice but still heard by them.

Leshan's family was known for connections and power but not money. They never chase after money but fame and achievements. Their ancestors and everyone involved in civil services in one or the other department. But also in terms of money, they were loaded but still not compared to Emerson's. They can be included in the A-listers of the rich society.

”You may not call me but I will do,” Gustav said.

Katherine spat out the water she was drinking. Dammit! They said no one saw him going out with a woman. But he was openly flirting with her.

But again at the thought of Eleanor, her mood plummeted. Gustav noticed her reaction and asked, ”What happened?” he asked worriedly.

”That…” before she could say something. Gustav's dad appeared out of nowhere.

”I never knew my son has the time to appear in the restaurant but not in the home,” Gustav's dad said.

”Hi, dad. I came here with colleagues,” he said as he scratched his head.
