Chapter 99: Get you out
Chapter 99: Get you out
Gloria looked more and more puzzled. "Why did you want to see me?"
But she also knew this was not the right place to talk, so she pulled "Leon", and they walked out.
Kenny looked careless as she pulled him out, since he was tall, it took her two steps to catch up with him when he took one step, making him look like he was at his ease.
"Why did you want to see me?" After they walked out of Taylor's Group, Gloria asked the same question again.
In her opinion, if there was nothing to ask her, "Leon" would not come to her.
Instead of answering her question immediately, "Leon" looked at her quietly.
Gloria had cried before, although it was no longer apparent that she had cried. Kenny was careful enough to notice that her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.
Did she cry?
Squinting the eyes, he could not imagine that Gloria would cry.
Besides, she was crying at the Taylor's Group, while she wasn't crying in front of Loren, was she?
It took a few seconds for Kenny to say. "I'm just passing by, so please treat me to lunch."
He spoke in a tone that made her feel he deserved to be beaten.
But "Leon" was her benefactor because he had helped her, so as long as he didn't ask too much, Gloria would try to satisfy him.
Gloria took him to a restaurant a little further away from the office as it was not easy to meet her colleagues in the company, so they were less likely to cause trouble.
When they got to the restaurant, Leon didn't say anything, but Gloria could find out he didn't like this restaurant.
Gloria understood him.
As he was a Young Master of a wealthy family, so he usually went to places like Jin Ding for meals, and he regarded Jin Ding as the kitchen in his own house.
He had asked her to invite him to lunch, while at one of these restaurants, a meal would cost a few hundred dollars, and for her... It's still pretty expensive.
As Gloria thought about this, she could not help feeling her purse, her face looking a little distressed for her money.
When Kenny noticed the look on her face, he involuntarily raised his lips. Of course, he knew she was weak.
But it was fun for him to exploit her, make her invite him to lunch, and to take advantage of her.
When the waiter came to help them order, Gloria pushed the menu to "Leon". "You order first."
Leon didn't pretend to be polite either. He opened the menu, quickly ordered three dishes.
Gloria knew that at the top of the menu were the restaurant's signature dishes, all of which were expensive.
Kenny looked back over the menu, ordered a soup, and then he looked up at Gloria, asking with a sincere face. "Did I order too much?"
Gloria shook her head. "You didn't order much..."
She still remembered when she ate with them in Jin Ding last time, there were only four or five people in total, but they ordered many dishes which seemed as rich as the full, formal banquet, combining Manchurian and Chinese delicacies.
Kenny nodded approvingly. "Then, I'll order two more dishes."
Gloria,"…"
Kenny looked at the menu, frowning. "There's nothing good to eat."
Then he handed Gloria the menu.
Gloria's lifestyle was entirely down to earth, as she thought three dishes and a bowl of soup would be enough for the two of them.
But she remembered that it was the Young Master, "Leon" sitting opposite her, so she ordered two more dishes and a dessert, or she would think the food was not good enough for him.
After ordering, Gloria got up and went to the bathroom. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
When Kenny lost sight of her, he called the waiter, handing over a card. "I'll pay for the meal now."
…
When Gloria came out of the bathroom, she saw Anne.
Anne didn't see Gloria, because she was walking out the door with her back to Gloria.
Gloria slowed down, walking behind Anne. Gloria didn't want Anne to see her eating with "Leon" to prevent unnecessary trouble.
Anne, however, was going in the same direction as Gloria, so Gloria had to walk slower and slower until Anne walked into a private room.
Gloria paused as she passed the private room.
The private rooms in the restaurant were not well insulated.
She heard arguments coming from inside.
Anne's voice sounded shrill, and her voice was much lower when Gloria heard it outside the private room. "You can't give her back the Black Card !"
"No... Taylor's Group... What the hell do you want...?"
Loren spoke, and his voice sounded a little lower than Anne's voice so that Gloria couldn't hear him very well.
Were the father and daughter arguing over whether to return the Black Card or not?
It had been less than twenty-four hours since the factory had come to light, and this was the second time that Gloria had heard Loren and Anne arguing about it.
Loren liked Anne and spoiled Anne. Since Taylor's Group was in crisis now, Anne didn't think of how to help the company through a disaster, but she only quarreled with Loren for her selfish reasons.
Anne has been so cruel to Loren, so wouldn't Anne be even harsher to Tina in the future?
Gloria had mixed feelings; she no longer wanted to have anything to do with Tina.
No matter how Anne would treat Tina in the future, it was of Tina's own choice.
Even when she changed Tina back with the Black Card, Tina was not touched at all. Instead, Tina was trying to please her so that Tina could use her later...
Gloria took a deep breath, regained her composure, and returned to the table where "Leon" sat.
The waiter had already served several dishes, but "Leon" had not touched his chopsticks, and she did not know what he was doing with his mobile phone.
When he felt someone coming, he looked up at Gloria for a second, and then he put down the phone. He remained calm and composed, saying. "I was just about to call Shi Ye."
Gloria looked puzzled. "Why?"
Leon's voice sounded serious. "I will tell him to take someone to the bathroom and get you out."
Gloria, "…"
Well, it took her more than twenty minutes to go to the bathroom.
Gloria didn't answer, and "Leon" probably felt bored, so he stopped talking, whereas he didn't eat much.
When they were about to pay for the meal, the waiter handed Gloria a card. "Hello, your husband has paid for the meal, as you have spent six hundred and eighty dollars here."
"My husband?"
Before Gloria knew that the waiter was referring to "Leon", the first person she thought of was Kenny.
She turned to "Leon", asking. "Does your cousin eat here too?"
Leon's expressionless face suddenly darkened.
He glanced at her coldly, turned, and strode out.
He looked as if the wind was blowing under his feet, he walking very fast.
Kenny thought that if he didn't walk faster, he might be tempted to beat Gloria.
The waiter realized that he had misunderstood the relationship between the two guests, so the waiter quickly explained. "I am sorry, as I thought that gentleman was your husband, and that gentleman just paid for the meal."
Gloria froze for a while, she took the card and ran after "Leon".
"Leon" didn't go very far, and he answered the phone when Gloria caught up with him.
