Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress (Thalia)

---- Chapter 262 With Randolph's approval, Thalia and Asher could finally be together openly. Friday afternoon, Asher and Thalia went out for dinner. They chose a Thai restaurant near the law firm that Lucy had recommended, claiming it had excellent food. Thalia suggested they try it. It was a beautifully decorated establishment in the business district. Being Friday, the place was crowded. As they entered, a server approached them. "Welcome! Table for two?" Thalia nodded.noveldrama

"Yes." The server gestured. "This way, please." "Do you have private rooms?" Thalia asked. "Tm sorry, ma'am, we don't have private rooms," the server ---- replied. "That's fine." The server led them toward a window table. "Sir, ma'am, how about this seat?" 'That works," Thalia agreed. "You can scan the QR code on the table to order." Thalia took out her phone and scanned the code. Lucy's recommended restaurant was reasonably priced, with the most expensive dishes just over a hundred dollars.

Without private dining rooms, they had to sit in the main area by the window. The restaurant was packed and noisy at this hour. Thalia looked at the man across from her. "It's a bit loud. Does that bother you?" "Not at all," he replied, his eyes crinkling warmly. "I wouldn't mind even if you took me to a street food stall." Thalia smiled. "I'll hold you to that. Next time we'll go to a food ---- truck." Asher's lips curved into a smile.

"Looking forward to it." "See what you'd like to eat?" Thalia handed him her phone to view the menu. "Just order what you like. I'm good with anything," Asher said. "Alright, I'll decide then." Thalia bent her head, scrolling through the dishes on her phone. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from above: "Mr. Blackwood, it really is you!" Thalia looked up. Awoman ina white blouse and black pencil skirt was smiling at Asher.

She was quite pretty, with her hair clipped back with a barrette-a professional look. She appeared to have come straight from work. Asher merely nodded, his expression distant, not saying a ---- word. Karen Gordon continued smiling. "Mr. Blackwood, what a coincidence! My colleagues and I are dining here too." Asher gave a noncommittal "Mm," without even looking at Karen.

He kept his eyes on Thalia and explained, "Lia, this is Karen Gordon, the Marketing Director at our company." Thalia nodded politely toward Karen. "Hello." Then Asher introduced Thalia to Karen: "This is my girlfriend, Thalia Winters." Karen's smile froze, her tone noticeably dropping. "Hello, Miss Winters." While greeting her, Karen looked Thalia up and down, a flash of disdain in her eyes. So this was Mr. Blackwood's girlfriend.

Pretty, sure, but clearly just arm candy-a trophy girlfriend who'd seduced him with her looks. Men liked these ornamental types, good for showing off. But a man like Asher Blackwood deserved better than a mere ---- decoration. Thalia caught Karen's contemptuous glance and her own expression cooled. "Is there something else, Miss Gordon?"
