Chapter 1493: Are We Still Friends?
The whole process took less than five minutes.
Nobody cuts steak into pieces that small, clearly he wasn’t planning to eat it, just found something to do.
Because once he had cut the steak into small bits, he put down his knife and fork and waved his hand, calling over a nearby waiter.
"Mr. Simmons, what can I do for you," the waiter asked, his attitude very respectful, bowing slightly in the most standard and respectful manner.
The face of Young Master Simmons is well known at all high-end establishments in Z City, even a gold card doesn’t carry as much clout as his face.
However, those respectful eyes widened slightly upon seeing the steak that Knox Simmons had cut up, and showed a trace of surprise. But because of excellent training, even in such unusual situations, he quickly returned to normal.
Knox Simmons tapped his fingers on the table, his voice lazy: "Take this steak away and toss it, and bring me a new one."
"Alright, Mr. Simmons, please wait a moment, we’ll get it ready for you soon." The waiter nodded and smiled, promptly removing the plate of diced beef from the table.
Knox Simmons still hadn’t paid any attention to Scarlett Yates.
In fact, he had heard Scarlett talking to him, but at this moment, he was in a bad mood, and when he’s in a bad mood, he doesn’t feel like interacting with people.
Scarlett saw that Knox Simmons was ignoring her, thinking he really just didn’t want to talk to her now, she didn’t want to embarrass herself, asked once, saw no response, and decided not to ask again.
But Knox Simmons over there was actually waiting for her to ask a second time.
After waiting a while and not hearing Scarlett ask again, he looked up and saw that she seemed to have given up.
Knox Simmons’s reluctance to engage was one thing, but internally, he kept thinking about that question Scarlett had just asked. Seeing her not asking anymore made him curious, though he tried to resist, in the end he couldn’t hold back and cheekily asked her: "Didn’t you just say you had a question for me to answer, why aren’t you asking?"
Scarlett was taken aback.
With the steak taken away, Knox Simmons picked up his knife and fork again to deal with the plate of meat sauce fries in front of him, once again cutting it into small pieces like the steak: "What do you want to ask me?"

Scarlett snapped back, noticing his suddenly nonchalant expression. She found it hard to adjust, feeling Knox Simmons’s mood changed as swiftly as the weather. She pressed her lips together and asked the question she had intended to ask slowly: "I want to know... after this, are we still friends?"
Scarlett had some understanding of Knox Simmons.
Though he seemed carefree, as if never serious, deep down he was very proud, just like Matthew Saxon, both are people with high ambitions.
She really didn’t know whether they could still be friends after she rejected him.
In the past, she had also rejected Knox Simmons, but back then, it was mostly in jest. However, this time, Scarlett felt it was somewhat different.
Both Knox Simmons and she realized this time it wasn’t just joking around.
Knox Simmons’s hand paused while mutilating the fries, the fork striking the edge of the porcelain plate with a crisp clink.
He slowly raised his head.
This time, Scarlett didn’t avoid him, directly met his gaze, lightly sighed, and asked him very earnestly: "Knox Simmons... are we still friends?"
