Chapter 23

Half an hour later, the car came to a halt in the Blue Water Dining.

Katherine was immediately led to the seat next to the window.

However, the situation was somewhat not good.

Before they sat down, they noticed Zack and Natalie sitting at their back.

What had happened a month ago seemed to be fresh in Alice's mind.

When she remembered Natalie had brought the old witch, Victoria, to cause trouble for Katherine that
day, she was ready to roll up her sleeves and began to start a fight.

However, Katherine raised her hand and stopped her before she could speak.

"Don't you want to eat?"

Her peach blossom eyes swept over her coldly.

Alice opened her mouth, but in the end, she sat down obediently.

‘Forget it! I'm going to pretend that I didn’t see this couple!’ she told herself.

When Alice saw the menu, she immediately forgot who was sitting behind her and looked at Katherine
with a terrible expression.

"Are you really that cruel, Katherine, to let me eat boiled vegetables?" Katherine sipped a hot cup of
tea.

"Place your order, but don't tell Helen that I invited you.’

"Don't worry.I will not betray you!"



Katherine didn't argue with her and instead handed the menu to Shaun.

"You can order whatever you want.There's no need to be polite."

Alice was the type of person who could talk to anyone.

Shaun was cold, and he barely spoke, but Katherine was there.

She was so eloquent that she talked a lot about what had happened during the production of her
advertisement.

The atmosphere at their table was very pleasant.

Zack and Natalie, on the other hand, were very stiff and cold compared to them.

"Ahm, Zack?"

Zack hadn't treated Natalie kindly since they sat together.

Natalie thought she had won when Katherine arrived because she wanted Katherine to be jealous of
herself for sitting with Zack.

However, Zack only gave her a cold look.

His face was emotionless, but his dark eyes were filled with impatience.

"Where's Mr.Cooper?"

"My dad was delayed on the way due to some issues, but he will arrive soon”

After hearing this, Zack stood straight up.

"Then we'll discuss it when Mr.Cooper will be available."



Natalie was completely baffled.

"Ah, Zack..."

Zack, who had just taken two steps, stopped.

Natalie was overjoyed, but she didn't expect to hear the other party's ruthless warning the next second.

"Because we don't know each other, please address me as Mr.Colburn next time."

"Pfft."

Alice couldn't stop herself and burst out laughing.

Katherine gave her a sidelong glance, warning her to stop laughing.

Zack was more difficult to provoke than Natalie.

It was better for them just to observe silently.

Alice immediately stopped smiling and sat there with a serious face after Katherine glanced at her.

Katherine picked up the spoon and was on her way to grab the shrimp not far away, but someone
moved faster than her.

For a brief moment, she was stunned and puzzledly looked up at Shaun.

"It's convenient for me.Shaun's face didn't have any unusual expression.He retracted his hand after
loosening his spoon as if he was only picking up a shrimp for Katherine.” Katherine smiled in response
to him.

"Thank you."



This scene was noticed by Zack, who was passing by.

He gave a slight frown, but his steps did not come to a halt.

He walked away.

However, after walking a few steps, he turned around with a cold expression on his face.

"Please come out for a moment.’ Suddenly, a cold male voice abruptly interrupted, and the three of
them at the table were clearly stunned.

Alice glanced at Katherine, then back at Zack, but she remained timid, not daring to move.

Katherine's hands were sticky from peeling the shrimp.

"Mr.Colburn, what's the matter?" she asked as she wiped her hands with a wet tissue.
