My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back
Chapter 265: Meet Amanda Spencer
"Are you... Arabe Donovan, right?" She greeted her in a cheerful and friendly voice. "OMG! Be, you are so beautiful..."
Instantly, Be’s nervousness disappeared as soon as she saw this woman’s friendly smile reach her eyes.
For some unknown reason, seeing and hearing Amanda talk to her in this friendly manner made her feel like she was meeting her best friend, Harper Reed.
"Yes, I am. And you must be Sister Amanda Spencer?"
"Yes, dear... Be, let’s talk inside." She smiled happily and invited Be in. However, her smile slowly faded when she saw a tall man with a sturdy build standing behind Be.
The man looked handsome and mature in an all-ck outfit. His gaze radiated alertness as he looked inside the room; he didn’t even spare a nce at her.
Amanda couldn’t help but look at the man closely; she became suspicious.
’Is this man Be’s boyfriend?’
She started to wonder while looking at the man from head to toe several times, trying to figure out if she had seen him before. There was a sense of familiarity, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t recall where she had seen him.
Another question now popped up in Amanda Spencer’s mind.
’If this man is Be’s boyfriend, what about Sean? Weren’t they dating?’ She silently took a deep sigh, feeling sour if what she thought was true.
She tried to push aside that worry while turning her gaze away from the man and looking at Be. But when she saw Be smile at her, she could no longer suppress her curiosity.
Amanda leaned closer to her and whispered, "Be, sorry to ask, but who is the man behind you?" She casually asked. However, deep down in her heart, she was worried about her thoughts—that this man was Be’s boyfriend or, worse, her husband.
If her assumptions were urate, she would be in trouble for misleading her sister-inw about Be’s rtionship with Sean.
...
Be didn’t answer right away. Instead, she turned to look at Bryan and spoke to him for a few moments before closing the door and smiling at Amanda.
"Sister Amanda, that man is my bodyguard…" Be said politely.
Amanda felt relieved to hear that. She immediately asked Be to sit.
Be sat on the chair opposite Amanda and continued, "He insisted on checking this room for my safety. I’m sorry if he seemed rude, sister..."
"Oh, it is fine, Be. I’m happy to know your bodyguard does his job properly." Amanda shed a sincere smile at Be while trying to calm her mind. She was increasingly curious about Be’s true identity.
Amanda remembered when she was in Nova City to see Be for the first time; she saw hering out of the hospital with a man. Her assistant had said that the man was Be’s bodyguard. And now, she appeared here with a different bodyguard.
’Who is she?’ Amanda wondered. ’Why does she have so many bodyguards around her?’
Amanda was troubled by the confusion surrounding Be’s identity. Despite using her connections to ess the government’s public database, she still couldn’t uncover Be’s true identity.
She had already tried to investigate the Donovan family in this country; she found thousands of people with that name. A few were wealthy families in other cities, but none had a daughter named Arabe Donovan. So, she assumed Be had recently moved to this country; perhaps she was raised by her family abroad.
Be faintly smiled when she saw Amanda Spencer only looking at her without saying anything, which made her feel nervous again. She cleared her throat to draw Amanda’s attention.
"Sister Amanda, have you ordered our lunch?" When Be saw her blink her eyes as if she was pulled out of her own thoughts, Be continued, "Shall we order now?"
"Oops, my bad... How could I forget?" Suddenly, Amanda’sughter echoed in the room as she called the waitress. "I apologize, Be; I was so mesmerized by your beauty and happy to have met you that I forgot everything..."
Be, "..."
"Me too, sis. I’m so happy to finally meet someone I only saw on the news," Be sincerely said.
She wasn’t just saying this to tter Amanda; she genuinely meant it. Amanda Spencer was undeniably beautiful and elegant, and her aura differed from that of the wealthiestdy Be had ever met. Talking to Amanda reminded her of her best friend, Harper.
"Ha ha ha, all right, all right, let’s order before we talk." They both started to order their lunch.
After the waitress left the VIP room, there was no longer any awkwardness or nervousness. Be and Amanda talked so casually that it was as though old friends had just reunited after many years apart.
Amanda asked Be about the progress of her legal dispute with Laura Kiels’ fans. After a few minutes of talking while eating, they both realized they had simr business interests.
Even when they finished eating, their conversation remained the same: business-rted. Theypletely forgot the purpose of meeting here. Amanda wanted to know more about Be and Sean’s rtionship. At the same time, Be needed to draw a line between herself and the Spencer family to return the Spencer’s powerful ck Card she received a month ago.
However,
Not long after, Be received a text from Leo reminding her about the meeting with the legal team after lunch.
Be regained her focus. She immediately took a card box from her bag and put it on the table.
After she pushed the card box toward Amanda, she said, "Sister Amanda, I know you sent this card to my office. I’m sorry, I can’t ept this one..."
Amanda was taken aback when she saw the box. It took her a moment to realize what was happening. She looked alternately at the card box on the table and then at Be.
She didn’t understand why Be returned the card Sean gave her. She was supposed to receive or return it to Sean directly, not to her. Right!?
Instantly, countless questions filled Amanda’s mind.
’Did they break up?’
