Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Keira Olsen watched as Ellis Olsen walked in and took a seat at Table 8 not far away.
Lewis Horton was also sitting in a corner nearby, clearly not with Ellis.
Mary Davis watched from a distance, immediately lowered her voice in nervousness, “See? Keera, that’s the one at Table 8, what do you think? He’s fairly good-looking, right p>
Keira Olsen withdrew her gaze from Lewis Horton and finally turned to see Mary’s cheeks slightly flushed, she remembered Ellis’s arrogance back in Oceanion and coughed, unable to help herself, “Looks don’t matter, what’s key is character p>
Mary immediately said anxiously, “His character is good too. At a party I attended before, when I was being targeted, he even saved me p>
Her fervent justification immediately made Keira understand something, and she countered, “You like him p>
Over the past month, as Keera, she had frequent contact with Mary and had long noticed that this miss was a tough talker but soft-hearted.
Mary’s ears turned bright red when she heard the question and blurted out, “No, how could I be worthy of liking him! It’s just an arranged date by my family to see if there’s any fate p>
That stubborn attitude…
Keira got it, and she smiled, “Right, it’s just a date. Why don’t you head over? Don’t keep him waiting p>
Mary then awkwardly stood up and walked towards Table 8, still adding to Keira on her way, “I’m just doing this to appease my family p>
Keira shook her head helplessly upon hearing this.
Her seat was exactly with her back to Ellis, so he did not notice her presence.
As Mary approached, Keira’s gaze returned to Lewis Horton.
Not seeing him for a month, the man seemed even thinner, his eyes twinkling with an indeterminate light.
Feeling her gaze, he looked over, and Keira immediately lowered her eyes, pretending not to see him.
But Lewis’s gaze was fixed on her.
Reason told him that this person in front of him was not Kiera… but his intuition told him she was!
However, after this past month, he had been silently observing her and found that she indeed endured in the family, quite different from Kiera’s personality.
If it were Kiera… she definitely wouldn’t put up with it like this.
Lewis tightened his jaw.
As both he and Keira harbored their own thoughts, Mary made it to Ellis’s side.
Mary was so nervous she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet, awkwardly standing next to Ellis, then she began, “Young Master Olsen, hello, I am Mary Davis p>
Ellis raised an eyebrow and nodded toward the chair opposite, motioning her to sit, then gave her a serious once-over.
His gaze made Mary extremely nervous, she couldn’t help but look down at herself to check if there was anything amiss, and as she was anxious, she heard Ellis scoff, “So this is what you look like p>
Mary was taken aback, “You know me p>
“I’ve heard of you,” Ellis said indifferently, “I don’t think much of your family background, but I was curious to see what kind of foolhardy woman you are, indeed just an empty-headed pretty face without substance p>
Mary: p>
She frowned, her fingers clenched tightly under the table, and her heart skipped a beat.
She took a deep breath, puzzled while looking at Ellis, “Young Master Olsen, is there some misunderstanding between us p>
“No,” Ellis blinked.
He wasn’t familiar with Mary, but lately, as he heard more and more about this “Keera,” he learned too many outrageous things.
His own close friend being lovesick, and Mary didn’t stop her but even used her family’s company to vie for favor?
Ellis had always disliked foolhardy, bottomless people.
Mary’s behavior struck a nerve in him.
As a result, during this time, aside from being dissatisfied with “Keera,” he held some grudge against Mary, his close friend.
How could he, Ellis Olsen, have such a brainless cousin p>
Indeed.
The DNA test results had come out long ago, confirming that Keera was indeed his cousin.
But Ellis didn’t want to acknowledge such a foolish person, so he kept it to himself.
Today, upon hearing that his date was with Mary, he couldn’t help being curious to come and take a look…
Thinking this, he stood up directly, “You’re not suitable for me. I’ll pay for the meal, goodbye p>
With those words, he left straight away.
Mary remained seated, feeling utterly confused with a head full of question marks.
Indeed, she had a fondness for Ellis Olsen.
