Chapter 622:
They watched carefully, deciding for themselves if Yelena really was that cold and indifferent.
Today was Amanda’s birthday. She had invited a crowd to her party, including Yelena.
At first, Yelena had no intention of attending since she and Amanda weren’t really friends. Then her phone buzzed with a call from Austin.
“Yelena, it’s Amanda’s birthday, and since I’ve been working with the Mitchells lately, I need to give her a gift out of courtesy; but I’m swamped. Could you deliver the gift for me p>
Yelena furrowed her brows slightly. Did Austin really need to call her personally for something like that?
Still, since he asked, she didn’t refuse. “Okay p>
“Then I’ll treat you to lunch today and give you the gift,” Austin added.
Yelena nodded. “Alright p>
After hanging up, Austin seemed in high spirits and instructed Domenic to reserve a restaurant.
John watched him with a thoughtful expression, his eyes squinting.
Austin noticed and smirked, glancing at John. “If you’re having trouble with your vision, I know a good ophthalmologist p>
John scoffed. “That’s a weak excuse. Try harder.” He set down his coffee cup and crossed his arms. “If you want to take her to lunch, just be honest about it. No need for such a lame front p>
“Get lost!” Austin snapped.
John’s smirk widened. “If I leave, who will help you pick out a gift for Amanda p>
“Whatever. Just grab something random for her,” Austin dismissed.

John clicked his tongue. That was just Austin’s style.
John had arranged a gift for Amanda on behalf of Austin, though Austin himself was oblivious to its contents. Nonetheless, he wasn’t particularly concerned about it.
Austin was seated alone in the restaurant, his tall, lean figure and chiseled profile projecting an air of cool detachment. His sharply defined nose and thin, slightly pursed lips added to his serious and aloof aura.
As he sat there, many young women passing by couldn’t help but glance his way, though he paid them no mind, his demeanor effectively keeping people at a distance.
Despite his unapproachable vibe, his striking appearance still captivated many, tempting them to try and engage him in conversation.
Such attention wearied Austin, which was why he often preferred dining in privacy.
However, Yelena preferred more lively settings, a preference Austin had noted during their last meeting in a quiet café.
Thus, this time, he hadn’t reserved the entire restaurant exclusively for themselves.
As soon as Yelena arrived at the meeting place, she immediately spotted Austin in the crowd with just one glance.
The attention of nearly everyone in the restaurant was on him, making it easy for her to locate him by simply following their gazes.
Yelena’s heart skipped a beat as she took in Austin’s profile.
She mused that if Austin ever chose acting, his striking looks would surely make him a national sensation.
Approaching him, she licked her lips and apologized. “Sorry to keep you waiting p>
Upon hearing Yelena’s voice, Austin instinctively smiled and turned to look at her.
In that moment, it was as if he transformed into someone else.
Previously cold and distant, he now radiated warmth and approachability with just a slight lift of his lips.
