Chapter 167 Why Would She Be Upset?
On the phone, Linden said, “Mom, where are you? I just got home and couldn’t find you”
Teresa frowned a little. “What do you want? I’m out eating.”
“Perfect. I haven’t eaten yet. Just send me the address, and I’ll come join you”

Teresa glanced at Caroline without thinking, then said, “Okay, I’ll send you the location. Ell be waiting for you on the restaurant’s second floor”
After hanging up, she quickly sent Linden the address.
Having Linden come is actually a good thing Caroline’s here too, so maybe they can talk and get to know each other a

Thinking that, Teresa smiled faintly. “Linden’s coming to cat. I’ll call the waiter to bring more dishes. Well
take our time.”
Caroline overheard that and knew Linden was on his way,
She really didn’t want to share a table with him.
Just thinking about his face made her remember Helen and everything she did in her past life.
Teresa, I’m really sorry, but I have some things to take care of at home. I need to leave early.”
Teresa’s face fell a little when she heard Caroline, but seeing how serious she was, she didn’t push. “If you need to go. I won’t stop you. We can eat together another time.
There will be plenty of chances later; there’s no rush now.
Next time I ask Caroline out for a meal, I’ll bring Linden along, so they could get familiar.
“Okay,” Caroline answered quickly and hurried out.
Right outside the restaurant, she ran straight into Linden walking the other way.
Caroline immediately dropped her head, pretending not to see him
Then she remembered. Linden has only seen me once in this life.
That was back when I worked as a chef at a hotel.
That day. Linden’s eyes were on Helen the whole time; he probably didn’t even notice me, maybe didn’t get a good look
Thinking that, she lifted her head and walked confidently past him.
Suddenly, Linden whistled at her.
Caroline felt disgusted, but she said nothing and kept walking to avoid trouble.
But then an arm grabbed her from behind, and Linden’s voice came.
“Hey, beautiful. Where’re you rushing off to?”

Chapter 167 Why Would She Be Upset?
Caroline was caught by the arm, forced to stop, and turned around with a blank look. “Let go
Linden blinked, surprised by the fire in her eyes.
He hadn’t expected such a temper from this pretty girl.
Finally, he let go and said, “We’ve met before. Don’t you recognize me? Im-”

Before he finished, Caroline cut him off. “I know who you are, Mr. Grayson What do you want? If it’s nothing. I’m leaving
So far in this life, they were strangers.
She wasn’t interested in talking more than needed.
A sly smile spread on Linden’s face. “If you know me, why act like you don’t?”
Caroline smiled lightly. “We’re not close. I don’t need to pretend. You’re some big shot, and I’m just a cook Not really someone you’d bother with.”
In her past life, he had looked down on her for being a cook and said she spent all her time stuck in the kitchen, surrounded by men.
Linden didn’t get the sarcasm. “Don’t be so gloomy. A small–time cook like you meeting a big shot like me? That’s fate changing, like Cinderella meeting her prince.”
He raised an eyebrow as he said it.
Caroline obviously understood what he was trying to say.
She smiled faintly. “Watch your words. You might give me the wrong idea.”
A new sparkle of flirtation appeared in Linden’s eyes. “I’m serious. A beautiful woman like you deserves to be cared for and spoiled by a man, not stuck in a kitchen all day.”
Caroline dropped the act and asked directly, “You say I’m pretty. Are you into me?”
“Yes.” Linden’s eyes stayed on her, admiring her like a rare treasure.
Hearing that, Caroline’s lips curled into a mocking smile. I remember you just got engaged. Aren’t you worried your fiancée would be hurt hearing you that?”
In her past life, after they got engaged, he was probably just like this, flirting everywhere.
Then Helen took advantage, stealing his heart and body.
Linden waved it off carelessly. “Nah, she won’t be. Our engagement was arranged by our families. There are no real feelings there. Why would she be upset?”
