Chapter 227
“Are you guys at Mythravia University now? Let me pick you up from there and take you to the restaurant!” Audrey glanced at her watch. It was almost time.
“It’s fine. Mythravia is so jammed! We’ve already booked a restaurant, I’ll send you the address. Leave a bit earlier so you won’t get stuck in traffic! After dinner, Joseph wants to take us to a fun place!”
After hanging up, Daphne quickly sent the restaurant address.
Audrey changed her clothes and grabbed her bag. Just as she was about to head out the door, she was startled to see someone standing outside.
“Ms. Yeomans,” a tall, slender young man, around twenty–six years old, greeted Audrey with a nod.
“Who are you?”
“I’m your bodyguard. Julian arranged for me to come here. If you’re going out, I have to accompany you to ensure your safety. You can call me Peter.” Peter Peak sounded somewhat inexperienced.
“How long have you been waiting outside?” Audrey asked.
“My working hours are from seven in the morning to ten at night. If you continue to stay outside after that, it counts as overtime for me,” Peter replied earnestly.
Audrey noticed there were no takeout utensils outside, so she asked, “Have. you e
eaten
anything since this morning?”
“I had an energy bar.”
Audrey was speechless.
Just as she was about to call Ryan, she hesitated, worried that he might be busy. Thus, she dialed Julian’s number instead.
Soon, Julian answered the call. “Ms. Audrey.”
“Did you arrange the bodyguard for me?”
“Yes, Mr. Lambert is concerned about your safety, so he asked me to arrange a bodyguard for you. Since it was a bit rushed this morning, I only picked one person. There will be a new bodyguard for you tomorrow morning. They’ll be working in shifts to ensure your safety.”

Audrey closed the door behind her. As she walked toward the elevator, Peter had already pressed the down button. She nodded in thanks. “This is a bit exaggerated, Julian. Over these years, I’ve also practiced some self–defense. I’m not completely defenseless.”
“Well… Maybe you can discuss it with Mr. Lambert later.” Julian chuckled awkwardly.
“Is he busy these days?” Audrey asked.
“Yes, Mr. Lambert will probably be working late tonight.”
“Okay, I understand. Make sure you all have your meals.”
Peter dropped Audrey off at the restaurant’s entrance, where Daphne, Azure, and Joseph were already waiting.
Daphne rushed forward and hugged Audrey enthusiastically. “Audrey, we’ve won!”
Audrey congratulated her with a smile. She then turned to Peter and said, “Why don’t you go and grab something to eat too? I’ll be fine with my friends. If I leave later, I’ll call you.”
“Alright!” Peter nodded.
Daphne nudged Audrey’s arm with her elbow. “Wow, what’s going on? Is this your boyfriend? He looks pretty young! What a pup!”
“What’s with that look in your eyes?” Azure glanced at Daphne with disdain before gossiping with Audrey. “Are you taking a bodyguard with you everywhere now?”
“Let’s go in! It’s our turn on the waiting list!” Joseph checked his phone and urged them.
The trio and Audrey had similar tastes. They all enjoyed the hotpot.
Fortunately, Joseph had reserved a spot for them online ahead of time, allowing them to get seated as soon as they arrived.
During dinner, Joseph received a call from Nathan. He accidentally let it slip that he was eating with Audrey. After hanging up, he apologized to Audrey, “Sorry, Audrey, I didn’t mean to let it slip!”
