Invisible to My First Love by Lypstical Novel

Chapter 73 Harper When I heard a feminine voice behind me , calling Maddox's name , I turned my head and saw someone around my age strutting towards our table like the restaurant was her runway . She had long legs , a sexy short dress and was dripping with confidence . She was the kind of girl that looked like she belonged on a magazine cover . I looked back at Maddox just in time to catch a strained smile and that said enough . He knew her well . It must have been the playboy in him that had history with her .

Even when she got to our table , she walked past me and stopped by his chair like I wasn't even sitting there . " It's been a while , " she said , her voice breathy . " Been busy , " he replied , his tone just as cold as his expression. He wasn't being welcoming , but that didn't stop her . She leaned closer , trying to place her hand on his shoulder but he moved to the side , a sign for her to stop . " I wasn't expecting to see you here ," he said . She pulled back her hand with a light chuckle . " I just got back in town and thought I might order a meal here .

The food here has always been so excellent . I'm glad I came because I got to run into you . We have so much to talk about . " " I'll talk to you later . " He lazily gestured in my direction . " I'm in the middle of a date ." She finally looked in my direction and I caught the scorn in her eyes . " I can see that . I even saw you on his page , apart from all the other posts I've seen about you in the past few weeks . " I could already feel the subtle aggression towards me , but I smiled politely and tilted my head . " Who are you ? " She chuckled before introducing herself .

" I'm Juliet ." The name rang a bell . I couldn't stop the little scoff that escaped my lips as I leaned back in my chair . Maddox frowned while Juliet narrowed her eyes , like they were both wondering why I reacted that way . " I'm Harper , " I said to her . " You look like a nice girl and all , so I'll give you a piece of advice . Run . Maddox had quite a long list of girls he liked to- " " Whatever you want to say , don't . " I cut her off . " The past is the past , so I don't care . " She smacked her lips , like she wasn't expecting that .

Then , she straightened her back , as if trying to regain her composure but her flaring nostrils gave it away . Chapter 73 " Can I borrow Maddox for a moment ? " she forced a smile . " No ," I said bluntly . 355 vouchers Maddox let out a little laugh with raised eyebrows , like he couldn't believe I had just said that out loud . I didn't even regret it at all as I watched her part her lips like she wanted to protest . But before she could speak , Maddox shut it down . " It's good to see you , Juliet . We'll talk some other time . I'll call you .

" And just like that , he ignored her , turning his attention back to me and talking about the exhibition as if she wasn't present . Embarrassed , she had no choice but to walk away . Even though Maddox wasn't my boyfriend, it felt good to watch her storm off like that . He also watched her for a few seconds , then brought his gaze back to me , leaned forward and said , " That was hot ." I playfully rolled my eyes . " Isn't that what girlfriends do ? " I expected a chuckle or something . Instead , what I got was a curious expression as he tilted his head .

" When Juliet said her name , what was that ? " " Oh , that . " I paused just to take a sip from my glass of wine . " I've heard that name before . " His eyebrows furrowed . " But I never mentioned her before ." " Grayson told me . " He nodded in understanding . " Of course he did . " " Yup , he mentioned it once , when he was still trying to give me reasons to stay away from you . He also mentioned Claire . " He chuckled . " Those two names usually go together . The three of us had a .... thing . " " Oh , I see . The steak is delicious ." " You don't have to do that ." " Do what ?

" I paused . " Change the topic so suddenly . You can ask me whatever you want . I know you want to ." He daringly smirked . He was right . I had a few questions about Juliet and Claire . " How did you meet them ? " " At a friend's birthday party . I wanted something different that night . They're friends , so I took them both with me . One night of fun turned into several more , behind the other's back . You're judging me , aren't you ? " " What ? I didn't say anything ." My tone was defensive . : Chapter 73 He shook his head like he didn't believe me .

" It was fun while it lasted , but I got bored . " " So let me guess , Claire might show up someday like Juliet ? " " Yup . You better be ready for that . " " I'd be pissed if I were hearing this as your girlfriend . Good thing I'm not . " " Yeah ." His voice was suddenly low . " Anyway , ever since this relationship went public , has Grayson contacted you ? " " Yup and I don't pick up his calls . He's actually been trying to reach me since what happened in London with Tiffany , but I'd rather not talk to him .

Ever since he said he's only made an exception because I saw Anna , things just aren't the same anymore . It's because I know that if not for her , he wouldn't even be talking to me and I'd still be blocked ." " Then why did he call you after our fake relationship went public ? " I paused , then shrugged . " I don't know and I don't care . " He chuckled , lightly shaking his head . " What ? " " It's easy for you to say all this because he's not actually here . It's always easier to ignore someone over the phone .

Let's see if you'll keep this up tomorrow at the estate ." I almost choked on my wine . " See ? " He teased me . " Yoi know what ? I'll be right back . I need to use the ladies ' room ." Maddox Harper was gone for at least five minutes and the ladies ' room was on the same floor , which meant she shouldn't have taken that long . She must have been touching up her makeup or something . I opened my gallery checking all the pictures I'd taken of her . I couldn't help but smile to myself as I had finally decided that I was going to post all of them .

Quickly , I opened my page , added the pictures and a caption , then posted . As soon as it was published , the sound of approaching heels caught my attention , so I looked up and I nearly rolled my eyes . Juliet was back . " I thought you were gone , " I said with a little irritation . " I'm still around . I just noticed you're all alone and I had to come over . I didn't believe you when when you said 11:39 Sat , Sep 27 Chapter 73 you'd call me . I know you've had your fun with me . " " Then why are you even here ? " She chuckled dismissively as she took a seat . " Where's your girlfriend ?

" " In the ladies ' room . " " Then I better leave before she finds me in her seat . Ugh ! She's so mean . " " She's just trying to keep her man from girls like you , " I bragged . " You keep forgetting that I'm not just any girl . " She leaned forward flirtatiously . " You and I had a good time and then you just ... stopped calling and texting me ." " You could've texted first . " " I know , but I loved the chase when you chose me first and not Claire . It was fun while it lasted , but you know what ? If you ever need something a little more ... exciting- " " No. " She scoffed .

" Damn , you didn't even let me finish ." " No need to hear it . The answer is no . " She thoughtfully placed a hand on her chin . " You know , I always thought you'd never get yourself a girlfriend because you always made that so clear , but here you are . I can't help but wonder what Harper did right . What's that one thing that made you fall for her ? " I took a few seconds to think about it , leaning back in my seat with a sigh of wonder . " I don't know . " AD Comment Send gift
