Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 127

The dinner party at Denarius was arranged at the Imperial Hotel. Lindsey wore the usual professional dress suit that she wore to work and took a group of employees to the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in Atlantic City.

On the contrary, Allie Wilford was dressed exceptionally well. Everything from her makeup to accessories was so exquisite that she could even attend an awards ceremony.

The top floor of the Imperial Hotel was a fully glassed scenic restaurant. Sitting there would give people an illusion of eating among the clouds and the view from here was simply breathtaking.

Denarius was very generous and booked the entire top floor of the Imperial Hotel just to invite their business partner for a meal.

Not only did Lindsey feel that Zayn was burning money, but Quentin also felt that the President was simply making it too obvious. Nonetheless, he smiled brightly and invited Lindsey and her party to their seats.

Lindsey sat down properly and Allie sat beside her as she absentmindedly scanned the space behind Quentin. She did not see the person she wanted to see and was a little disappointed.

Quentin thought that Allie was doing this for Lindsey, so he hurriedly explained, "The President will be here soon. Please wait a moment."

Unfortunately, Lindsey did not care about that at all and did not even hear what Quentin was saying.

Actually, Lindsey had a fear of heights and her seat was a little too close to the window, so cold sweat broke out on her palms.

All of Wilford’s employees were whispering excitedly and no one noticed Lindsey's abnormality.

"Sorry for being late." The man's low and charming voice sounded.

The employees of Wilford and Denarius all became serious when they saw the man and were no longer as relaxed as before.

Lindsey was the only one who did not raise her head.

Zayn casually took a seat on the other side of Lindsey and blocked her entire view of the scenery outside.

Lindsey finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt slightly better. This relief made her ignore the fact that Zayn was sitting beside her.

"Serve the food," Zayn said in a soft voice.

When Denarius invited them to the dinner party, they truly just meant dinner. They literally just ate without any extra pleasantries.

Lindsey did not take the initiative to talk to Zayn, so he also remained silent.

The employees from both companies looked at each other, then at the two bosses. This made them recall the scene at the Denarius office and suddenly felt that this dinner was not a reward, but simply torture.

Allie, on the other side of Lindsey, kept glancing at the two ever since Zayn arrived.

"Lindsey, I want some of that." Allie pointed to a dish in front of Zayn.

Before Lindsey could move, Zayn had already lifted that dish and placed it in front of Allie.

Allie smiled sweetly at Zayn and said, "Thank you."

Zayn just ignored her.

A trace of disappointment crossed Allie's eyes. She then looked at the glass of juice next to Lindsey.

Lindsey did not really have an appetite, but strangely enough, all the dishes in front of her happened to be her favorites, so she unknowingly ate a lot.

When she was almost full, Lindsey put down her cutlery.

Another man standing in Zayn's shoes would only think that Allie’s glistening eyes and flushed face were prettier than the flower background.

However, Zayn just swept a glance and pretended he did not see her. He kept his hands in his pockets and walked past her.

"Zayn Guggenheim." Allie saw that Zayn ignored her and grabbed his sleeve in a moment of panic.

Zayn stopped in his tracks and looked down at the hand grabbing his sleeve. He said without emotion, “Let go of me.”

"I have something to say to you." Allie looked at Zayn unblinkingly with brimming eyes. She knew how she could gain a man’s attention and sympathy.

However, the man in front of her was not at all like the men she met in the past. Without hesitation, Zayn shrugged her off and took a step back. His voice was cold as he said, "Ms. Wilford, please have some self-respect."

The words in Allie's heart were suddenly stuck. She knew that if she said it now, it would only invoke the man’s disgust and rejection.

That was not what she wanted.

Her eyes lost their moisture as she lowered her head, looking a little pitiful. "I just want to thank you for saving me last time."

This did not sound over the top, but Zayn had long forgotten that he incidentally helped the woman in front of him because he only helped her for Lindsey’s sake.

"Ms. Wilford, you should thank Lindsey instead. If not because of her, I wouldn’t have saved you."

After saying that, Zayn turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly recalled that Lindsey seemed to care a lot for Allie, so even though he felt uncomfortable, he still said, "Ms. Wilford, the ladies’ is that way."

Allie’s heart was flooded with joy when she saw the man turn his head. When she heard Zayn's cold yet patient words, she suddenly felt a touch of sweetness in her heart.
