Chapter 54
Although she had not anticipated that they would end up this way. It no longer mattered to her.
She had never intended to turn back since the day she decided to let him go.
It didn’t matter if he trusted her or not because she would never get back together with him.
On the afternoon of the second day, she took the bus to the French restaurant that Wills Waltson had given her.
When Wills Waltson arrived, she was sitting right next to the dining hall’s entrance.
He stepped out of the car and approached her. The waiter drove his car away from the restaurant to park it.
“How come you’re not going in?”
She burst out laughing. “I was about to go in and grieve my purse for a few minutes when you came over.”
“Is it for the purse?”
“Let me calculate with my fingers, this restaurant should be a high-end restaurant,” she murmured curiously, pointing to the restaurant’s door.
He laughed. “So?”
“It would break my heart to take someone to a meal in a place like this.”
“Are you going to treat me then?”
She sighed and shrugged her shoulders ” I have to pay you because I owe you a favor. That is why I should lament the loss of my handbag. Now, let’s go, I’ll send them to the guillotine.”
She took a deep breath, turned, and walked up the steps to the dining room.
Wills Watson couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at her back.
Is he old? Or there were too few women he knew.
He had never seen a woman as interesting as her.
As they entered the dining room, she glanced at the menu and gave him the right to order.
“Come on.”
“Are you sure? You don’t be afraid that I’ll order something expensive.”
She curled her lips. “I don’t know how to read. If you feel that your conscience won’t hurt, then you can just order whatever you want. In any case, at worst, I’ll just stay here and wash the dishes to pay the bill. It doesn’t matter.”
Her words were filled with brAven .
He smiled and lowered his head to order.
She couldn’t understand why the menu would be in French even though this was America.
Why they had to bully the people who don’t speak French?
Wills Watson quickly ordered the dishes.
“Would you like a glass of champagne?”
She shrugged. “Sure.”
The French food served slowly.
She wasn’t in a hurry. After taking a sip of champagne, she asked, “What did you tell our principal? How did she change her mind so easily?”
“Are you curious?”
“A little,” she nodded. “Is it easy to convince her?”
“I only said three sentences. I said I liked you, and you must get the job. Otherwise, the Waltson family and the Harris family would have already broken up.”
She blushed. No wonder why Aven Harris came to find her yesterday.
“Why are you blushing?”
“Hey, because of the wine.” She lifted her glass and took another sip.
“The principal didn’t say anything and just agreed?”
“She said a lot of bad things about you.”
She frowned. “What did she say?”
“Curious again?”
She was a bit embarrassed. “Not really.”
“How about this, if you promise me one thing, I’ll tell you what I talked about with her.”
“I don’t want it.”
“What? Are you afraid that I’ll make you give your body to me?”
She looked at him. Was this man the legendary high and mighty Wills Waltson ?
Why hadn’t she met such a Wills Watson before?
He saw that she was a bit nervous so he smiled: “It seems that you have an image that.”
“I didn’t.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t force anyone to do something that she doesn’t want to. I’ve said it before, you’ll be willing to marry me and give me your body.”
“Never.”
“Let’s skip this topic. Our company has been looking for a temporary lecturer. Do you want to do some part-time jobs? If you come, I’ll tell you what she said. ”
“Tsk.” She twisted her head and smiled.
“What are you laughing about?”
“Stop messing with me. How can I be the lecturer for such a big company like yours? Even if it’s just temporary work, there should still be hundreds of people at the waitlist.”
“I will cover you. This is the first time I’m using the resource to gain personal benefits. The salary is very high and charged by the day. What do you think?”
She looked at him and said confidently, “You must have other motives.”
He calmly swirled the wine cup and smiled.
“It’s really easy talking to a smart person. If you come to our company, you have to bring me food every noon. ”
“Bring some food?” She was surprised.
“That’s right. You come here to work for a month and bring me a month’s food. Or, if you don’t come, I’ll come to your place every night to eat dinner. You choose one of these two offers.”
She said, “Don’t you feel that you’re very manipulative?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I’m used to it. If you feel that it’s unfair, then I can give you another choice. If you come back to my house, I’ll take care of everything. You can cook for me three times a week.”
She stared at him, put down her glass, and crossed her arms.
Wills Watson smiled charmingly: “I know, you are afraid that I will pester you, but even if you do not come to our company, I will not give up. As for the reason, you should have guessed it yourself. I liked you.”
Luna creased her brows. She tightened her arms.
This could be considered as… Confession?
“But having you cook for me has nothing to do with liking you. In the past 27 years, I have never eaten ordinary food. That day, the food you cooked made me feel as if I was living like an ordinary person. I truly feel that eating ordinary food at home is very good.
Can you imagine? From the moment I was born, I sat at a very large dining table. Every meal was filled with delicacies, and there were a lot of servants and butlers by my side.”
Her pupils narrowed unconsciously as she heard his words.
She gazed at him with sadness in her eyes, a strange sense of empathy for him.
Her mother used to have to go to work every day to support her.
As a result, she ate, bathed, and slept alone every day.
She recognized the sense of being alone.
“So, when do I start working?”
“Start as soon as possible.”
Her lips were pursed. “Now you have the opportunity to tell me what the headmaster said about me.”
“Miss Brown is someone I’m familiar with. It’s best if you don’t know what she said since it’s all falsehoods.”
“How do you know it’s a lie?”
“She claims you are unconcerned with your personal life. But I’m familiar with you.” He arched his brows in the middle. “I’m your first officer.”
She looked to the side, embarrassed. “Reduce your volume. Is that all she had to say?”
“What does someone like her have to say? She said nothing but highlighted your identity.”
“She stated I was an orphan once more?”
“What? She’s mentioned that before, right?”
She gave a nod.
“How could she have made such a mistake? Have you ever revealed your true identity to Aven Harris?”
“I can’t just claim I’m an illegitimate child, can I? It is not a good sign.”
Wills Waltson burst out laughing. Miss Brown’s attitude toward her would change if she realized she was from the Enderson family. Aven Harris would not lose Luna Greenwich if this were the case.
It appeared to be a lovely coincidence.
