Chapter 1434 Caught Off Guard
“Why are you so clumsy? Come on. Let’s go.”
Sally glanced at Juan before nodding and following him to the dining hall.
Kyle put up a neutral expression at the dining table as he helped himself to the dishes. He would talk to Maya, but whenever Sally tried to strike up a conversation with him, he would then remain silent.
Maya said, “I spent two hours making this seafood chowder with the freshest ingredients you can get. Do you taste how fresh it is?”
Kyle replied, “I do! It’s fresh and tasty.”
Sally joined in by saying, “I find the chowder fresh too. I’m sure you chose the freshest seafood and mushrooms for this recipe.”
Maya chuckled. “You should have more if you like it. I prepared this for you since you’re coming.”
Sally said, “I’m satisfied enough with this portion. Maybe you can give Kyle more.”
Kyle did not respond to that at all, as if he hadn’t even heard her talking.
Sally fell silent.
She felt foolish at having been ignored twice in a row.
Fortunately, Maya eased the situation by refilling the chowder for Kyle and Sally.
Juan was a sensitive person, and he noticed Sally’s reaction toward Kyle. Could it be that Sally really has feelings for Kyle?
He glanced at Sally and suddenly realized he was annoyed with that idea.
Meanwhile, Nicole took in all their expressions and little actions at the dining table.
She had a rough idea of their relationships now. Sally seemed to care for Kyle, whereas Juan cared for Sally, although he didn’t act like it. Kyle seemed calm but too calm, so there must be something he was trying to hide.
Kyle is probably trying to hide his feelings because he cares that much for her. I think things between these three will get interesting in the future.
After dinner, Sally looked at Kyle, who was sitting on the couch and flipping through his documents. She was still perplexed about this whole situation.
Everything had still been fine when they were doing charity work together in the hospital. Later on, when Kyle wanted to ask her something over the phone, Sally had thought of going to him, but Juan had knocked her unconscious, and she didn’t get to see him.
Is he upset because of that? It’s all because of Juan! What should I do then? I have to make Kyle fall for me for things to work out. Kyle is the one in charge of Seet Group now. He makes all of the decisions, and I’ll have to win over Kyle if I want to gain control of Seet Group.
After thinking about it, Sally looked at her shoes and came up with a plan.
“Is Maya’s bedroom upstairs? I have something to ask her.”
“Yes. It’s the second room on the left on the second floor.”
“I’ll look for her then.”
Sally got up. She was walking past Kyle when her high heels suddenly snapped, and she lost her balance. With a loud cry of distress, she staggered and was about to fall.
Kyle was the nearest to her. He got up and caught Sally in his arms when her mind was still spinning.
Their gazes met. Sally stared right into Kyle’s eyes and saw the panic as well as concern in his eyes.
At that moment, she was confident that Kyle still cared for her. It sent ripples across her heart, and she smiled faintly at him.
“Thank you,” she said shyly.
Kyle returned to his senses and quickly let go of her.
She steadied herself and suddenly started explaining, “I wanted to find you after you told me you wanted to ask me something. But Juan knocked me out, and I only regained my consciousness later that night.”
Kyle was a little taken aback to hear that.
Juan knocked her out? Didn’t she send me a text message saying she’s seeing someone hotter than me? D*mn it! I guess Juan’s gotten much better at pranking someone.
Juan was caught off guard when Sally suddenly revealed the truth.
F*ck! I can’t believe this woman ratted me out to mend things with Kyle. Fine! You win!
