Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1357

Lena stood still in her place. Chris was equally stunned.

The young woman felt someone looking at her and widened her eyes upon turning and seeing Chris.

"What are you doing here?"

Lena's expression changed subtly. She felt like an unnecessary person caught in the middle.

"Hey, Chris!" The young woman patted him on the arm. "What are you doing here? You don't recognize me anymore? Hey, why are you shrinking away?"

Chris was evasive and kept looking at Lena.

"What's the matter with you?" The young woman was exasperated. "I'm Arya Bayer. Pretending you don't know me?"

"I do recognize you!" Chris felt like he was about to die. How could he run into her here?

"Is this beautiful young lady with you? Aren't you going to introduce us?"

Lena paused and looked at her.

Arya didn't fit the mold of a typical beauty. She lacked delicate features and had a pleasantly plump appearance. Her complexion was fair, and she sported bushy eyebrows along with large eyes. Her smile revealed two charming dimples.

A single look indicated her upbringing in an affluent family.

However, Lena frowned slightly.

Arya seemed familiar with Chris, but why had he never mentioned her before? Was it because she was not worth mentioning, or did he not dare to mention her?

Lena took a deep breath and looked at Chris, biting his lip before he managed a natural smile.

"Yes, Chris, why don't you introduce us?" Lena asked.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Chris hurriedly caught up.

Lena walked fast, and Chris followed behind humbly, not daring to get too close or stay too far. She eventually halted at the entrance of the small pizza place they had visited for dinner the previous night.

Chris sucked in a cold breath and followed her in.

They still sat by the window and ordered two pizzas. Only this time, Chris ate anxiously.

Lena ate calmly, and Chris occasionally glanced at her. In the end, he could not bear the torment.

He slammed his hand on the table and gathered his courage to call out, "Len..."

Before the second half of that word could be uttered, he quickly corrected himself to "Lena".

Lena stopped eating and remained expressionless without looking up.
