Love Comes To Me
Chapter 106: Not a girlfriend

Eloise Thompson turned around and, not surprisingly, Hector Rogers was standing behind him. She spoke awkwardly, "What a coincidence!"

Who can understand how Eloise Thompson is feeling at the moment, she simply wants to die, she got up early and had the Chumley Group choose to work with another company in order to avoid Hector Rogers. Who would have thought that they would meet in this restaurant and that he would overhear their conversation.

Hector Rogers, dressed in a black suit, a handsome face staring at himself without expression, pursed his lips and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Eloise Thompson gave a dry laugh and responded back, "Here to talk about the project!" After a pause, she spoke again and introduced herself, "This is Mr EgbertEgbert Chumley of the Chumley Group, a new client of our firm." Egbert Chumley was still in shock, he knew that this was Hector Rogers, the president of the Rogers Group, in front of him. Rogers, however, is a man who is not even close to him.

Hector Rogers narrowed his eyes slightly at Egbert Chumley, a name he vaguely thought was familiar.

After a pause, he then remembered that yesterday Rupert Rogers said that someone was coveting Eloise Thompson, and that person seemed to be named Egbert Chumley, who was also Eloise Thompson's college Alumni, so that was him, and after a pause, Hector Rogers spoke unhurriedly. "Hello."

As a man who has seen the world, Egbert Chumley snapped back to his senses and spoke with the same poise: "Hello Mr Hector, I've heard a lot about you and it's better to see you than to hear about you."

"Mr Egbert is very kind." Hector Rogers spoke lightly.

Two men, both with a different aura about them.

Egbert Chumley looked at the two men and asked with some confusion, "Mr Hector and Eloise know each other?"

Embarrassed, Eloise Thompson nodded slightly as she heard Hector Rogers speak, "Well, it's familiar."

Eloise Thompson: "????"

Do they know each other well?

Egbert Chumley, somewhat taken aback, looked at Eloise Thompson and asked, "How come I haven't heard you talk about it?"

Eloise Thompson just wants to die, is there anything more embarrassing in the world than that?

Egbert Chumley then slowly remembered that JS Creative Company had a collaboration with Rogers Group and he had thought that Eloise Thompson and Hector Rogers were probably just a working relationship, when he heard Hector Rogers laugh and say. "Probably because she was too embarrassed to say so."

With that said, Hector Rogers looked at Eloise Thompson with a hint of ambiguity.

Egbert Chumley, no fool, realised as an afterthought that the two men did not seem to have an ordinary familiarity, and in a moment, he looked at Eloise Thompson with a slightly strange look in his eyes.

Eloise Thompson was so embarrassed that she coughed dryly and hastily changed the subject, asking Hector Rogers, "Is Mr Hector here to talk business too?"

The implication is that if he's here to talk business, he can pretty much hurry up and leave.

Hector Rogers pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "No, just simply here for a meal."

Actually, Hector Rogers did come over to talk business, he came with his secretary, but when he got to the door he saw Eloise Thompson having dinner with a man.

The two men were talking and laughing, Hector Rogers not knowing that Egbert Chumley was a client of Eloise Thompson and that the two were talking about work.

At once, how could he be in the mood for business? Hector Rogers told his secretary to push the client straight away and instead walked in, only to hear Eloise Thompson ask if people could switch to another company. She hadn't even come to herself, so how did she know he wouldn't give her advertising space?

As soon as Egbert Chumley heard Hector Rogers say he was coming over for dinner, he spoke politely, "Would Mr Hector like to join us?"

He had asked casually, and Egbert Chumley felt that someone of Hector Rogers' stature would certainly not have dined with them, but it turned out that he had agreed without saying a word, and had taken a seat beside Eloise Thompson. A flash of surprise crossed Egbert Chumley's face, and he looked at the two men with even stranger eyes.

Eloise Thompson's whole body went bad, the atmosphere around her became a little weird and she didn't even know what to say for a while.

After a pause, Egbert Chumley handed over the menu, "Mr Hector, it's my treat to meet you today, what would you like to eat?"

Hector Rogers didn't say no either, as the waiter came over and he ordered a few of Eloise Thompson's favourite dishes.

Soon the food was served and several people were eating, the atmosphere still odd, when only Hector Rogers' voice could be heard.

"Aren't you guys talking about working together? Go on."

Egbert Chumley sniffed and spoke up, "Actually, we're pretty much done talking, and Rogers Group was brought up earlier! But Eloise turned down Rogers Group's platform."

"Yes?" Hector Rogers looked at the woman on the sidelines and Eloise Thompson had a bad feeling in her heart, and sure enough, he was heard to speak unhurriedly, "The company does have a slow advertising schedule these days, but if it was her coming over, she would certainly give the exclusion of a slot."

Eloise Thompson had just taken a sip of water and almost choked on it. Noticing the strange look in Egbert Chumley's eyes, she was almost embarrassed and after a moment's reprieve, she hurriedly got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

With that said, Eloise Thompson rushed off in a huff.

Just as her back disappeared down the stairs, Hector Rogers put down the cutlery in his hands and also stood up to speak, "Excuse me for a moment, I'll leave too."

Egbert Chumley watched the two men leave in awe, his eyes flashing with a hint of complexity.

...

Eloise Thompson went to the bathroom and washed her face before calming down a bit.

She never expected to run into Hector Rogers here, and he sat down to eat with them.

The point is, dinner is dinner, and what this guy says is so easily misunderstood.

I have to say that the meal was so torturous that I had to get out of there after it was over.

Eloise Thompson thought, and after a moment, stepped out of the bathroom to see Hector Rogers leaning against the wall with his arms wrapped around him, his demonic face looking handsome, his whole body exuding an elegant and unmistakable aura, and those deep eyes that seemed to make you fall deeper into them just by looking at them.

Why is he here? Eloise Thompson's eyebrows jumped and her instincts told her that Hector Rogers must have been waiting for her.

All at once Eloise Thompson just wanted to tuck herself back into the bathroom, but Hector Rogers had already seen her.

Several of the women walking ahead of her looked cautiously at Hector Rogers with a hint of affection in their eyes, and Eloise Thompson could faintly hear their voices chattering.

"That guy is so handsome! I want to go up there and ask for a WhatsApp!"

"Go go go, sister go go!"

A woman in a white dress was about to walk up when she saw Hector Rogers approach and spoke to Eloise Thompson, who was walking behind them, "Been waiting for you for a while."

Several girls looked at Eloise Thompson with envy, jealousy and hatred, and one even spoke up, "So he's here waiting for his girlfriend!"

Hey, no, what a girlfriend!

Eloise Thompson tried to explain, but several people had already lost their way and left.
