BookToReadChapter 266
"Hey, Sabrina," Olivia nudged her friend subtly, giving Allison a knowing glance as she coughed, hinting that
Sabrina should steer clear of certain topics.
Sabrina waved off the concern with a casual flick of her hand. "Oh, con, it's been ages since the breakup.
Our dear Allie is over it, aren't you, Allie?"
Allison chuckled, a hint of resignation in her smile. "Yeah, I've moved on. Honestly, I'm more interested in my
career these days. Men just aren't on my radar."
"No worries, letshow you his photo. Might just change your mind," Sabrina teased.
"You still have his photo?" Olivia asked, surprised.
Sabrina scrolled through her phone, shrugging. "Not really. | saved it back in college, and it automatically synced
to my cloud. I'm too lazy to clean it up, so it's still there."
Allison laughed softly. "That's a new one."
A few minutes later, Sabrina found Watson's picture and handed her phone to Allison. "Here, take a look at
Watson. Handsome, right?"

Allison lowered her lashes, gazing at the photo.
The background looked like a library, with a young man sitting by the window, engrossed in a book, surrounded
by shelves overflowing with books. The warm, golden sunlight highlighted his striking features-chiseled
cheekbones, sharp eyes, a high-bridged nose. His looks were undeniably impressive.
Allison stared at the photo, momentarily lost. She felt a strange sense of déja vu, like she'd seen him somewhere
before.
Olivia leaned in for a peek, "How do you have this picture? Isn't that the university library? Have you been
there?"
Sabrina replied, "Nah, it was saved from the confession page of the college next door. Sgirl snapped it and
posted it there."
"So, Allie, what do you think? Interested after seeing the photo? With a face like that, it's a shhe's a lawyer.
He should be a celebrity! He's model material," Sabrina quipped.
Allison smiled, "I told you, I'm not interested in men right now."
Just as she finished speaking, a smooth male voice chimed in, "That's quite unfortunate."
Allison turned towards the voice, slightly taken aback.
Olivia and Sabrina also turned to look.
"Oh my gosh! Speak of the devil, and he appears! Unbelievable!" Sabrina exclaimed, eyes wide with shock.
Olivia smiled politely and greeted him, "What a coincidence."

The man wore a pair of stylish wire-rimmed glasses and a sharply tailored charcoal suit. As he approached, he
smiled slightly. " had a meeting with a client nearby, and when | saw you all, | thought I'd cover and say hi."
"Fate!" Sabrina winked at Allison.
Allison offered a polite smile and extended her hand to Watson. "Hello, I'm Allison."
Watson shook her hand, "Nice to meet you, I'm Watson."
Olivia chimed in with a grin, "I was just about to introduce you two, and here you are."
Watson smiled gently and asked, "Mind if | join you?"
Sabrina gestured casually, "Feel free to take a seat."

Sabrina sat in the middle, with Allison and Olivia flanking her one either side. Watson pulled out a
chair next to Allison and asked,

"You," Sabrina answered with a cheeky grin.
Olivia added, "Allie is planning to

Watson turned to Allison, his eyes crinkling with a gentle warmth. "May 1?"
Allison looked at his face, the sense of familiarity growing stronger by the moment.
