Chapter 529: Just Don’t Want You to Overthink

When Baron Stuart’s gaze caught sight of the familiar figure downstairs, the frown on his forehead grew deeper.

“Young Lord?” The man sitting across from him stopped his narration as he noticed Baron Stuart holding the wine glass motionlessly.

Baron Stuart didn’t turn his head, but just murmured a few words. “Carry on.”

Watching the lovely face downstairs, Emily Walker and Adrian Nash were in each other’s company, conversing harmoniously, which ignited a surge of anger within him!

Isn’t she supposed to be working at Excellence Group? Why is she having lunch with Adrian Nash!?

The man opposite him wanted to continue speaking, but seeing the increasingly gloomy face of the Young Lord, he didn’t dare to say anything further.

Could it be that he had said sothing improper earlier, offending the Young Lord?

As that man was feeling uneasy, Baron Stuart across from him suddenly took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

“In this entrance hall, I hope the design can be more subtle, making the custors feel comfortable as soon as they co in…”

Listening to Adrian Nash’s ideas, Emily nodded her head, her eyes remaining on the design draft.

At this mont, the cell phone on the table rang.

She shifted her gaze from the design drafts and was taken aback when she saw the caller ID on her cell phone.

Why would Baron Stuart be calling her at this ti? Could it be that he saw her with Adrian Nash just now?

Emily stared nervously at the phone, took a glance at the second-floor staircase entrance, and then lowered her head to answer the call.

Upstairs, Baron Stuart narrowed his eyes at her guilty expression.

She glanced toward the second floor, indicating that she just saw him co in?

Damn it! How could she have looked at the second floor and not noticed him?

Fine, very well!

Emily didn’t catch a glimpse of Baron Stuart on the second-floor elegant seats, she just answered the phone with a restless mind.

“Hello?”

“What are you doing?” Baron Stuart smirked, curious to see how she would respond.

Emily felt a jolt in her heart. What did his question an – did he discover her or not?

Thinking of this, Emily couldn’t help but lift her gaze again, scanning the second floor while missing his line of sight, as he had already turned to head downstairs.

Upon confirming that she didn’t see Baron Stuart’s figure, she finally cald down.

Knowing his personality, it’s better not to let him know that she was having lunch with Adrian Nash; otherwise, he would be angry with her again.

“I, I’m having lunch.” Since it’s lunchti, Emily tried to make her tone sound as natural as possible.

“Hmm, what are you eating?” By now, Baron Stuart had reached the first floor and was standing near the staircase entrance, watching her.

Emily blurted out without awareness, “Steak.”

“Steak? Your company provides such good welfare, there’s even steak served in the staff canteen?” Baron Stuart couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Emily paused, realizing her mistake. She saw the steak in front of her and said it without rembering that she was supposed to be having a al at the staff canteen today.

“Uh, I… I didn’t eat at the company today.”

“Oh? Then where?”

“Outside.”

“Alone?”

“No, with a client.”

“Client? Who?”

“…” Emily looked up and glanced at Adrian Nash across from her.

If Baron Stuart found out, he would surely be upset. Less is more, right?

“Uh… you, you wouldn’t know them.”

Hearing this, the smile on Baron Stuart’s face suddenly vanished.
