Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 702

Mr. Cooper did not do anything since he came into the room. When he suddenly stood up, everyone was shocked.

Alfred Jenner, who had been trying to drink with Lindsey, clearly froze for a moment, and his red face suddenly turned somewhat pale from fear.

"Mr...Mr. Cooper." He carefully put down his wine glass and blinked his eyes that looked comparatively small on his big face, which surprisingly looked cute.

However, now that everyone at the table was looking at Mr. Cooper, no one was paying attention to Alfred’s expression.

Lindsey was also equally stunned. This man had just been sitting there like a sculpture. Why did he stand up all of a sudden?

At this time, Luke, who had been cooperatively drinking with everyone yet keeping a distance, also stood up with a smile on his face.

"Please excuse us, everyone. It’s getting late, so my boss won’t stay any longer. As for the previously agreed terms, we’ve sent a detailed contract to your email, Mr. Jenner. I’ll send a copy to Ms. Juhl as well later. Since it’s late, let's meet again next time, and my boss will be the host. Apologies."

Since Luke already said this and Mr. Cooper was also such an eccentric that everyone's expectations of him were invariably lowered, it did not seem strange that he wanted to leave at this moment.

However, they were just curious how Luke was communicating with his boss because Luke was clearly not using any electronic communication devices.

No one expected things to end up like this. At this moment, the waiter brought in another glass of wine, but Alfred no longer had the heart to drink with Lindsey.

They sent Mr. Cooper to the door together.

Mr. Cooper, who had not spoken all night, stood at the door and suddenly extended his hand towards Lindsey.

The temperature in the corridor was not as warm as it was inside the private room, so Lindsey shivered for a moment and subconsciously hugged herself. When she saw the extended gloved hand in front of her, she did not even react to what the other party meant.

It was only when that hand stayed in front of her for a second or two that Lindsey finally realized Mr. Cooper wanted to shake her hand.

Lindsey hurriedly took out her hand and was wondering why Mr. Cooper did not shake hands with Alfred.

Their hands only touched for a moment. Lindsey still felt that his hand was very hot as if he could transfer his body warmth to her through his glove.

Then, that gloved hand shook hands with Alfred, which instantly quelled Lindsey's doubts.

That man who did not say a word the whole time finally left. Probably because of Mr. Cooper's departure and Alfred's drunk behavior earlier, Lindsey suddenly felt bored.

She suddenly asked herself why she had to come here to do these unnecessary things with Alfred. Tencello was responsible for this mess. If not for the new partner, Lindsey would have just left.

Now that the new partnership was formed, what was the point of staying?

Alfred sent Mr. Cooper out and was heading back to the room at this moment.

He ushered Lindsey inside the room. Lindsey returned to her seat but did not sit down. Instead, she reached for her coat and said, "It’s late and we have work tomorrow. Mr. Jenner, there are plenty of opportunities to eat in the future. See you soon."

Alfred was completely sober by now. When he heard Lindsey's words, he instantly realized what Lindsey meant.

He asked Denarius to send someone over this time to test Denarius' attitude. Since he got the short end of the stick in the contract before, he wanted to make up for it elsewhere.

Somehow, the eccentric Mr. Cooper kept flashing in her mind.

‘Why did he wrap himself up like that?’

"What is it?" Lindsey did not open the door and asked warily.

The waiter's flat voice came through the door, "Hello, this is the meal you ordered."

Lindsey's eyes became even more suspicious. "What meal? I didn't order a meal."

The waiter looked stunned and checked the notes on the tray. It was indeed for Room 2803.

Lindsey saw the look on the man's face clearly through the peephole and his doubts did not seem to be fake, but she did not order a meal.

Suddenly, Lindsey's phone rang.

"I really didn't order any food," Lindsey repeated. She then turned around and picked up her call.

"Ms. Juhl," Alfred's voice came through from the other end of the call. "Just now, I saw that you guys didn't eat much, so I ordered room service for you."
