My Mate Has Two Wolves

  Chapter 287

　　Catherine's POV

　　I called Blake and told him that I wouldn't be going home for dinner tonight.

　　Then I called Noah and Hedwig.

　　I was going to ask Melinda to join us today, but Melinda had other plans, so I went to the restaurant alone.

　　I booked a relatively luxurious restaurant since I wanted to thank Alina for her support.

　　I parked the car in the restaurant's parking lot and saw Gina when I closed the door.

　　Gina looked as rich as she used to be. She was holding the arm of a middle-aged man and asked him to go first when she saw me. Then she walked toward me.

　　She was wearing high heels, and her clothes were very fashionable.

　　"I'm curious. Why did Blake dump you? It must have been a juicy story!" Gina burst into laughter, which sent a shiver down my spine.

　　I frowned. "What do you want to do? Gina, stop causing trouble. Don't ruin your career again."

　　"Catherine, do you know Halsey?" Gina suddenly said.

　　My face turned pale.

　　Gina laughed. "Yesterday, a person came to our house. He called himself Halsey, and he was grateful to Troy for adopting his daughter and raising her."

　　Did Halsey come back?

　　Why did he go to the Wyatt's place?

　　"Catherine, I have something on you. Do you still think you can be with Blake?" Gina looked at me mockingly.

　　I knew that Gina would try her best to make me suffer.

　　"Gina, stop smuggling. Halsey's presence at your place proves nothing." I knew Halsey went there because of me. He wanted to thank the Wyatt family.

　　However, Halsey's good intentions became Gina's means to threaten me.

　　Gina said with a gloomy face, "Do you know how much I hate you for what you've done to me? If I tell anyone about this, your relationship with Blake will become a big joke."

　　"Keep your mouth shut if you want to live. You can threaten me, but you should think about the consequences. Do you think Blake will let you off the hook easily?" I was not afraid, because Gina already knew how terrible things would become if she enraged Blake. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

　　Gina was afraid when she heard Blake's name.

　　"I can keep it a secret for you, but I need a favor in return. I own a singing band, and they have a very important show at the end of the month. I want you to design some clothes for them. I'm going to make them famous," Gina made her demand right away.

　　"What if I refuse?" I didn't want to cooperate with her.

　　"Don't worry. I will pay you. You're right. I should get on with my life. Think of it as doing me a favor. I hear you're quite famous in the design industry," Gina said seriously.

　　I couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth judging from her appearance.

　　Did Gina want to cooperate with me? She wanted me to design costumes for her band.

　　"I'm sorry, but I can't help you!" I rejected her.

　　"Catherine, why are you being so mean? I'm sincere enough. How can you refuse me?" said Gina.

　　I turned around and walked in front of her. I said coldly, "Maybe you don't know me well, I am a mean woman!"

　　After I finished speaking, I flicked my hair and left.

　　I was no longer as easily provoked as before. I had become more indifferent.

　　Maybe it's because I had spent so much time with Blake that I learned from his strength and sanity.

　　I knew that Gina wouldn't give up so easily, but I was no longer afraid of her.

　　Before the elevator doors closed, I saw Gina standing together with her lover. The man said something, and Gina chuckled sweetly.

　　I walked out of the elevator. When I arrived at the table, I saw Alina.

　　Alina always dressed differently from other women. She was wearing a black blazer with matching trousers. Her tall figure and neutral facial features made it difficult for others to tell her gender.

　　If I hadn't known her long ago, I would have thought she was a pretty boy.

　　When Alina saw me, she stood up happily while looking a little nervous.

　　"Cathy, you're here!" Alina said.

　　I smiled, walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

　　When I turned around, I saw many girls looking over. They were all attracted by Alina.

　　I joked, "You seem to be very popular among the girls."

　　"Is that so?" Alina smiled. Her makeup was very delicate. Unlike most women, she was kind of handsome.

　　I was attracted by Alina as well, and I could not help but glance at her a few more times. I didn't expect a woman dressed as a man to be so good-looking.

　　Alina snapped her fingers. "Catherine. Let's order now. Just to be clear, tonight's dinner is on me. Don't you rub me from this opportunity!"

　　I nodded. "Fine. But next time, it will be my turn!"

　　"OK. It's up to you!" Alina smiled. Once again, I sighed that Alina must have been born the wrong gender. If she were a man, women would die for him.

　　While waiting for our food, I saw Alina staring at me.

　　"Cathy, you have lost a lot of weight recently. Is it because of your breakup?" Alina was very concerned about me.

　　Breakup?

　　I was stunned for a moment. Only then did I realize that, in everyone's eyes, I was a pitiful woman who got dumped by Blake.

　　"Really?" I touched my cheek. "I don't think so. I wasn't really affected by it."

　　"Stop pretending to look brave. I'm a woman as well. I know what you're going through." Alina suddenly picked up the cigarette box, but she quickly put it down, because we were in a non-smoking restaurant.

　　I knew Alina asked me this, simply because she was concerned about me.

　　"I just want to work and live my life." On no ground could I tell her the truth now, so I had to try to look tough.

　　"Cathy, can we be friends? I wrote a new song recently. You should listen to it. Maybe it'll help you relax a bit." Then Alina told me the name of her song. It had gone viral online, which helped women to recover quickly from their breakups.

　　"Sure. I'll listen to it after I go back." I nodded happily.

　　I had a great meal. We talked about work.

　　Then I received Blake's call. I got up and walked toward the bathroom.

　　"What's up?" I asked gently.

　　Blake sounded depressed. He said, "Are you having dinner with a man or a woman?"

　　I immediately turned around and looked around. "Don't tell me that you're eating here too."
