The corner of Luca's lips curled up in glee at the sight of his grim face.
She was honored to be able to cause post-traumatic stress to someone as sly and cunning as Pierre.
Pierre had traumatized many people in A City, and the fact that she gave the devil incarnate a taste of his own
medicine made her appear like a savior.
She helped everyone punish the defiant bully, Pierre.
The waiter led Pierre and Belle to a corner seat. “Sir, Madam, is this table okay with you?"
“This is fine." Belle looked at Pierre. Only then did she realize that his gaze had been fixed on one spot the entire
time.
She followed his line of sight and saw Luca.
Belle looked at Pierre suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Mallory, did you see someone you know?"
"Not really." Pierre withdrew his gaze and was about to sit down until he recalled Madam Mallory's words. He had to
be a gentleman to Belle.
To avoid getting into such trouble, Pierre gently pulled back the chair behind Belle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Thank you." Belle was very satisfied with Pierre's gentlemanly behavior.
Even though he sounded serious as if he was not trying to impress her, his cold face exuded a different kind of
charm.
When she first returned to A City, she learned about the situation of high society through some close friends.
There were two brothers in the Mallory family, and they used to get along well, but their relationship took a turn for
the worse after deciding who had the say in Mallory Corporation.
Everyone said that the second son was not as good as the eldest in every aspect, but she had heard the story of the
Mallory family before.
Thus, Belle never intended to marry into the Mallory family. Plus, the eldest son had devoted himself to a mediocre
woman, so she did not bother using her family's influence to marry him either.
After hearing from others, Belle thought that Pierre would be the same. However, after meeting him in person, she
found out that he was not as bad as people said he was.
Even if she really married Pierre, who was seen as less than Percy, it did not seem like a bad choice at all.
Even if he was not the CEO of Mallory Corporation's, Pierre would have extra leverage after the marriage between
the Mallory and Chamberlain families. Moreover, this leverage was not something a mere few percent of shares
would be able to overcome.
Belle admired Pierre's face as he looked quite handsome too.
If they did end up together, she would help him become the CEO of Mallory Corporation.
Pierre sat across from her.
The waiter handed over the menu.
Pierre was not in the mood to order and gestured to pass the menu to Belle. “Ladies first."
Belle gave him a few more brownie points for his gesture and smiled while ordering appetizers, mains, and
desserts. Then, she asked the person across the table, "Mr. Mallory, since we both have somewhere to be later, let's
not drink."
"That's what I was thinking." Pierre's gaze remained on Luca.
She was no longer looking this way, and she did not seem the least bit interested in what was going on over here.
Belle ordered two cups of coffee and looked up to ask him if there was anything he wanted to add, but she noticed
that he was still focusing on the woman across from them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could not help but be curious.
There was something sinister in his gaze as if there was a deep hatred in him. It was not at all like the kind of gaze a
man would have when looking at beautiful women.
Belle could not help but wonder what that woman did to Pierre.
"Mr. Mallory, have a look at what else you'd like to order," she asked softly.
"That's all." Pierre had no idea what Belle ordered, but girls like her would usually order the same thing.
Whether it tasted good was another matter. As long as the quality was there, it was good enough.
Belle smiled and handed the menu back to the waiter. "Please serve the food quickly." "Yes, Madam." The waiter
took the menu and left.
After the waiter left, Belle took a sip of the lemon water and shot a glance at Luca in the corner. Then, she asked
thoughtfully, "Why do you hate that lady so much?"
Pierre withdrew his gaze and stared straight at her
Was his hatred for her so obvious?
Ever since he was a kid, everyone would say that he had deep eyes. When he looked at someone, very few people
would dare to meet his eyes.
When he looked at someone with a poker face, they would feel like he had sinister intent.
