The Woman From Hell

Soon, the car came to a stop and I looked up. Sure enough, he actually brought me to the most expensive French restaurant in Salt City.

However, it was a little awkward because everyone knew this was a popular dating place for couples.

"You asked for the most expensive and this is the most expensive place in Salt City." Seeing how hesitant I was, Xander put on a helpless look.

However, I had a feeling that he was over the moon because the joy in his alluring eyes was overflowing.

It was just a meal, and since I was already here, I did not hesitate further and took the lead to walk inside.

However, Xander's series of unexpected moves after that quickly made me regret my decision. He had not only asked for a couple table and ordered a couple set meal but also ordered a bottle of red wine that was worth a lot of money.

Looking at the rose, candles, and red wine in front of m e, this very romantic candlelight dinner would be the perfect dinner arrangement for actual couples.

However, we...

"Must you do all these things?" I was extremely awkward but did not know what was the right thing t

o say.

"What’s wrong with this? Don't you think it’s more enjoyable to dine in such an atmosphere? Besides, I've long dreamed of coming here with you. I didn’t think we’d get the chance to-"

"What do you mean you've long dreamed of coming here with me? You should be bringing your girlfriend t o a place like this," I grumbled.

"Let's not talk about this. Since we’re already here, we should make full use of the money spent. Just take it a s though the electricity has run out at home, so you're here to eat something good and relax.” Xander chuckled like a fool. He poured himself a glass of red wine and ordered a glass of juice for me. 1

Left with no other choice, I bowed my head and prepared to eat when I received a text message on my phone. I tapped in to see that it was from Theo, asking me why I was not home yet.

I did not text back and switched off my phone so I could eat in peace.

Xander did not eat and was only leisurely drinking the red wine. He looked at me for a very long time and said, "You look like someone when you get mad."

"Are you going to say that I look like a certain female actress?" Many people said that I looked like a star back in university. They would say that I looked like a particular actress today and another one tomorrow. Over time, I had gotten used to it.

"No, you're prettier and more elegant than any star out there. They can't compare to you at all. But when I saw your angry face earlier, I suddenly realized that you look a lot like my mother. I can’t tell which part exactly, but you just seem really alike," Xander said in a very serious tone.

I froze. When I went to Xander's house for dinner that night, someone seemed to have said the same thing.

However, I quickly let the topic drop and cut a piece of steak before placing it in my mouth. I said, "I have an average face, so I look like a lot of people. That's nothing unusual." I remembered Grandma used to say that I look like Cindy.

Xander twitched his lips and took a sip of wine before continuing, "Why did you suddenly drop out of university and disappear so suddenly back then?"

I was startled. How did he find out this secret from so long ago?

I previously sat for a test to enroll in another university but because something came up, I dropped out in freshman year before finally retaking a test to enroll in my current university.

"How do you know when we're in different intakes?" Xander was younger than me so we were definitely not coursemates. Besides, I had only studied for a semester so no one at university would know me.

"I know so much more than that. The elementary school in the country, junior high school in town, and

Mrs. Lane," Xander briefly said.

I was dumbfounded, and my tone was a little harsh." You investigated me?"

I did not want others to know about my past life.

"Looks like you really don't remember me." Xander let out a wry smile and drank large gulps of the red wine i n his glass.

I shook my head dazedly. I knew Xander because he was the first artist who came for an interview at Nectarine Entertainment.

"Do you know why I didn't turn to big companies at the time and instead picked Nectarine Entertainment that no one knew about at the time?" An uninhibited smile remained on his face, but there was a hint of bitterness.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

I shook my head. Thinking about it now, it did seem pretty weird. When he signed the contract at the time, he only had one condition-he did not want an agent and asked to be under me. Although I was not an agent at the time, I had no choice but to participate in events with him.

"These aren’t important anymore. Just don't disappear out of the blue like what you did last time.” Xander's eyes were a little misty. He propped himself on the table and looked dazedly at me. It was only then did I realize he had finished drinking an entire bottle of wine.

I felt a little awkward and turned to look out the window, where I happened to see two people walking by downstairs.
