Deceiving Her Ears: Ignoring Your Call-Chapter 190: Their Gazes Meet in the Mirror

Although her expression couldn’t be seen, the expression on the young man’s face suggested that the two were enjoying a pleasant conversation.

Isaac Vaughn’s foot shifted, deviating from the direction toward the private room.

"President Vaughn."

The assistant, after parking the car, caught up and, noticing Isaac Vaughn seemingly heading the wrong way, immediately reminded him, "President Vaughn, it’s this way."

Isaac Vaughn paused, glanced at the assistant, and then stepped toward the direction of the private room.

"Honestly, there’s a big difference between here and abroad; not to mention the air is quite suffocating here, and the traffic jams, oh my, they’re truly annoying."

"I used to love driving to the south when I was abroad. I bought a cabin in the woods there. Next time, I’ll take you there. There’s a lake just outside, and you can even hunt in the forest."

Natalie Kendall rested her chin on her hand, lazily listening to the ABC, who had just returned from abroad, boast about life overseas. It was typical of the sentiment that ’the moon is rounder abroad.’

After sipping some red wine, ABC asked Natalie Kendall, "I’ve talked so much, you don’t find me annoying, do you?"

It was quite annoying.

Natalie Kendall thought to herself but verbally responded, "No, what you’re saying is very interesting."

Upon her words, ABC’s eyes brightened significantly, "That’s great! I feel like we hit it off at first sight, don’t you think?"

Facing ABC’s expectant eyes, Natalie Kendall merely smiled.

ABC, thinking she was shy, became even more enthusiastic about talking.

Natalie Kendall had a headache.

After enduring for an hour, she couldn’t take it anymore and excused herself to the restroom for a moment of peace.

Just as she exited the restroom, she stood at the public basin washing her hands.

Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze at her back.

She looked up and saw in the mirror a tall figure reflected behind her.

Isaac Vaughn’s eyes were slightly red, his face flushed, and he exuded a strong scent of alcohol, indicating that he had drunk quite a lot.

Their eyes met in the mirror.

It had been a month since they last saw each other.

This gaze exchange was like casting a stone into a calm, unruffled lake.

While it didn’t stir up a thousand waves, it did create ripples.

Natalie Kendall was the first to look away, turned off the faucet, and then pulled a tissue from the dispenser to dry her hands before walking out without a backward glance.

It was as if she had just encountered a stranger.

Isaac Vaughn stood for a while before moving forward, turning on the faucet to splash some water on his face, looking at his own disheveled reflection in the mirror with a bitter smile.

A month had passed, and he hadn’t expected to let her see him in such a state.

When Natalie Kendall parted ways with ABC, she politely declined his offer to drive her home.

"I drove here."

"I see." ABC was visibly disappointed, "So when can we meet again?"

Natalie Kendall gave a polite smile and walked away.

ABC made a call me gesture behind her back, "I’ll contact you then. Remember to pick up."

Natalie Kendall reached the parking lot, got into her car, and dialed Nina Abbott’s number.

"Finished meeting? How was it?" Nina Abbott asked eagerly.

Natalie Kendall pinched her forehead, "Where on earth did your family find such a weirdo?"

Nina Abbott could hear the gritted teeth in her voice and couldn’t help but laugh.

The ABC was actually a blind date arranged by Nina Abbott’s family.

But Nina Abbott was busy dating Julian Beckett, and with her family pressuring her, she had no choice but to ask Natalie Kendall to meet the person on her behalf.

"Thank you, my dear! Kisses!"

Natalie Kendall was speechless, "What’s your plan afterwards?"

"You know how it is; my brother’s chasing-after-wife hell is not yet successful. I’m officially claiming to be single, that’s why my family arranged this."

Natalie Kendall was about to speak when suddenly someone knocked on the car window.

She turned to see a man standing outside the car.
