Chapter 8 Meet at the Cafe
Chapter 8 Meet at the Cafe
The butler walks in and says to Eugene politely, “Mrs. Lu, the car is ready.”
“Let’s go!” Eugene says with a smile as she puts away her phone, and her unhappiness gets erased.
Since her grandson doesn’t date anyone as she wishes, why not just find one for him?
Jenny breathes a sigh of relief at the moment the nagging stops after she hung up Eugene.
Jenny can’t help bursting into laughter at the thought of the lovely conversation with the old granny, and
she says to herself, “She’s one of those all grandmas who like to brag about their grandsons. She even
said ‘My grandson is excellent and attracts many women’. How hilarious!”
Wait a second!
It seems something breaks in her words.
At this moment, a sweet voice from the radio is echoing inside the car.
“It’s reported that Mr. Luke Lu, CEO of Luke Up Group, has planned to purchase a famous domestic
film and television company, Jade Picture...”
Jenny gets startled to heart that and realizes why that name sounds familiar.
Luke Lu is the grandson of Luke family which enjoys a high social status. Five years ago, he
established a widely known company Luke Up Group in Xicheng all by himself. At present, he owns a
fortune of almost 15 billion dollars and becomes the dream husband for many celebrity girls.
He is also called as global husband by online users.
Luke is however quite profile low; he rarely shows up in the public. Even on special occasions like the
charity banquet, he leaves immediately after the charity bazar is finished, which brings great
disappointment to many celebrity girls.
It never occurred to Jenny that she would meet Luke Lu but it did happen when she bought something
embarrassing.
Recalling what happened that night at the pharmacy, she seems able to hear the cold joke of that man,
and she feels terribly awkward!
About 10 minutes later, the taxi reaches Diffuse Cafe.
Jenny rushes out of the taxi immediately to the cafe. As she pushes the door open, she hears some
elegant French music and sees only several customers.
She fails to spot anyone familiar after looking around, and gets upset, biting her lip.
She regrets she took it out on the man on the phone since she mistook it as a disturbance call.
He must be pissed off for that.
Jenny waits on a seat with the hope that the man would show despite that she knows he won’t.
As the last customer leaves the cafe and the sun begins to dazzle her, Jenny is forced to leave.
She promises to herself walking out of the cafe that she would talk nicely if Luke Lu called back.
She pushes the door open with the head lowered, and accidentally crashes into the man walking in. His
cold clothes freeze the tip of her nose, giving her a shiver.
“So...sorry!” Jenny immediately steps back and stands straight.
In front of her stands a tall man in a brown woolen coat. He wears a pair of black sunglasses which is
big enough to cover his face except for his cold but sexy lips. He looks conceited and unsociable.
The man doesn’t walk away and stares at her for a while. He asks, “Jenny?”
This cold voice seems familiar and drives Jenny to look up at him.
He looks quite familiar even his sunglasses can’t cover his cold face and thin lips.
To her surprise, she asks “Is that you?”
She smiles and keeps saying, “I thought you wouldn’t come...”
“So did I.” Luke says as he grabs a silver phone from his right pocket and hands it to her.
She recognizes the English letters on the back of the phone, and it is hers!
Her eyes twinkle and she reaches her hands to get it. She flashes the screen and says, “Thank you so
much!”
“It’s yours anyway.” Luke says as he looks at her. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
She feels uncomfortable about the way he looks at her. All of a sudden, she recalls something. She
scrambles another phone from her bag and hands it to him.
“It’s yours.”
Luke Lu takes it.
He has long fingers and a cold finger pulp with such thin callosity on it as that of those doctors who
cure sick people and save dying ones.
“Thanks.” Luke Lu says indifferently, putting his phone into his pocket, and turns around.
Is he leaving?
Jenny seems to have an idea and runs after him, “Excuse me, Mr. Luke.”
Luke Lu stops and turns back.
Jenny widens her eyes and crashes into his cold chest being unable to stop her fast steps. She is
bounced back and loses her balance, falling down.
“Oh no!” She is going to fall to the stairs and the last thing she thought was that she will get a scar on
her face.
At the very moment, a long but strong arm reaches out to get her waist so that she can escape from a
tragedy.
What a startling moment!
Jenny widens her eyes with fear and looks up at the man much taller than her. He looks at her silently
and she can feel his elegance.
