LittleNovelChapter 196 Evelyn heard Mason's teasing remark, but her face remained impassive. These people must have assumed she knew they were there and had deliberately cover.
Lucas showed no special reaction to Evelyn's arrival. He even turned back to continue his conversation with Jason about what they had just been discussing, paying her no mind.
Jason glanced over at Evelyn, who was standing by herself. She appeared... somewhat isolated.
"Since you're already here, why just stand over there? Cjoin us!" Mason "kindly" invited her. After all, she was already here, and it wouldn't be right for them to blatantly snub her. That would be inconsiderate of them! Meanwhile, Tiffany paid no attention to Evelyn's arrival.
Donald had informed her and Lucas of Flying Seal Group's stance. They had no intention of forming a new research and development team or adding any new members. In truth, she understood that it wasn't that Flying Seal Group didn't need fresh talent but that Evelyn was simply in the way.

Of course, Tiffany was well aware that Evelyn had absolutely no authority to meddle in Flying Seal Group's decisions. However, if Evelyn were to badmouth her to Sebastian, it would likely affect his decision-making.
Tiffany despised such tactics, and she was even less inclined to pay them any mind. She swung her club dismissively and asked, "Mason, shall we have a match?" Mason walked over to her with a grin on his face. In a carefree tone, he replied, "If I beat you, won't Lucas say I'm unchivalrous? He's so protective of you." Glancing at Lucas, she couldn't help but laugh. "You're such a smart mouth." The group existed in their own little world. They seemed to form a barrier that was impenetrable by outsiders- especially Tiffany. She looked so relaxed and self-assured that even Evelyn's presence couldn't faze her. Her bright charm was undeniably attractive.
Even Lucas, a man known for his cold indifference, couldn't resist her.
Evelyn didn't intend to pay attention to what was happening over there. Just as she was about to call Sebastian to ask where Donald was, she heard someone from behind call out to her.
"Ms. Reed, you've arrived." Evelyn looked up to see Donald alighting from another shuttle. He was clearly coming over toward Lucas and the others.
At that moment, Evelyn immediately understood one thing-this setup was going to be anything but ordinary. "I've just learned that Mr. Holt owns this golf club. Consequently, Mr. Holt has suggested that we all gather together. Ms. Reed, you must know everyone here, right?" Donald asked in a gentle tone.
Evelyn hadn't expected an impromptu gathering, but she could only nod and reply, "I do." In fact, she was very well acquainted with them.
"That's good. It makes things more comfortable. Con, join us over here," Donald extended an invitation.
Evelyn could handle the situation with ease. She maintained an unflappable demeanor.
Donald and Lucas were engaged in their conversation, but Evelyn wasn't in any rush. She simply sat aside while waiting.
Soon, a server brought over srefreshments.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvelyn hadn't taken a sip of water since leaving the office, so she picked up her cup of tea and began to drink it. She gave no thought to what was happening elsewhere.
At that moment, a plate of fruit was handed to her. Evelyn looked up, only to see that Jason had brought it over. He met her cool, questioning gaze. Clearing his throat, he said, "They sent over sextras. Have this." Evelyn nodded and replied without any pretense, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Jason smiled. As Evelyn picked up a slice of orange, he pa silently placed another plate of desserts by her side. Tiffany turned around just in tto catch this scene. She saw Jason handing Evelyn swater and fruit.
A flash of suspicion crossed her eyes. Hadn't Jason always looked down on Evelyn before? He used to ignore her. Not only would he never bother to care for her even out of courtesy, but the two had hardly ever exchanged words.
When had Jason stopped looking at Evelyn with his cold, disdainful glare?
Just as Tiffany was pondering this, Mason clapped his hands and said, "Since we're all together today, why ΕΠ. not have sfun?" Lucas and Donald turned their attention to him.
