Chapter 324
It was nighttime.
Elizabeth hit up a restaurant solo. The place was dead quiet, and from the twentieth floor, Lisbon's night scene was poppin'.
She sliced a bit of steak, popped it in her mouth, and thought about her day with Alexander. It made her feel oddly chill.
"Oh honey, Mr. Getty, don't you know me by now? I'm the most loyal gal around. If Mr. Getty's into me, then I..." A sugary voice drifted over to Elizabeth.
She glanced up and saw Kieran with some chick, all cozy and about to sit down.
'Kieran, you dirtbag. You still claim Alexander's sleaziness ain't your fault. Birds of a feather, man,' Elizabeth thought.
"Mr. Getty, what's she got that I don't? Aren't I a better fit to be the face of Getty Group?"
Elizabeth zoned out, resting her chin on her hand, half-listening to the girl's whining.
'Looks like she's gunning for the spokesperson gig. She must be talking about Lila, right? Lila's the top dog, no one can touch her!'
"Get lost." Kieran's grumpy voice cut through.
Elizabeth's eyes lit up a bit.
The girl was stunned. "You..."
"Who do you think you are? Get lost." Kieran snapped.
The girl was baffled and whined, "Why are you flipping out?"
"You're not even close to Lila. You think you can compete with her?" Kieran gave her a once-over and sneered, "Just 'cause we're having a meal, you think you're special? Get lost."
After that, the girl finally got it. 'It's 'cause I dissed Lila. But I didn't say much! Just asked what makes Lila better. Does Kieran really need to blow up like this? He just tells me to scram! Too much! Does having cash mean he can do whatever he wants?' she pondered.
She bit her lip, glared at Kieran, and started to cry, "Fine, I'm outta here!"
Kieran sighed, looking annoyed, and scratched his head. He grabbed a cup, about to drink, when he heard Elizabeth laughing.
Kieran froze, "Elizabeth?"
He quickly walked over to her.
Elizabeth was munching on her steak. "What?"
"What are you doing here?" Kieran looked at her, surprised.
Elizabeth glanced up at him, noticing his flashy suit jacket in an elusive color.The collar of his white shirt was smeared with lipstick.
"Eating," Elizabeth said flatly.
Kieran grinned, "Elizabeth, can you do me a solid?"
"I'm useless, can't help," Elizabeth shot back immediately.
Kieran groaned, "I haven't even told you what I need, and you're already saying no?"
"Yep, I'm useless," Elizabeth kept at it.
Kieran sighed, "I'll buy you dinner and a bag!"
Elizabeth perked up, interested.
Kieran clasped his hands together, "Please, Elizabeth. Is Joseph planning to work with Lila?"
"Joseph's thinking about it, but I don't know if it'll happen," Elizabeth answered honestly.
"Did you set it up?" Kieran asked.
Elizabeth just made a sound in response.
Kieran was speechless.
"We're tight. Why won't you help me?" Kieran whined.
