"F*ck, you're right. No wonder I thought that he looked a little familiar."
"What the hell is this? What does President Yardley of the Yardley Corporation have anything to do with this? Do you mean that this delivery girl is having multiple affairs?"
One of the girls was exasperated. "Do you not have a brain? Didn't you see the viral news about Yardley Corporation some time ago? Mr. Yardley has a wife, but he got into an accident when they were preparing for the wedding. I have seen photos of his wife in the news. She is indeed a beauty." "Now that you mentioned it, I think we should still be able to see the news if we search it up."
So they took out their phones to search for the news. Sure enough, they saw photos of Minerva during the wedding. However, because something happened to Maddox, Minerva was the only one at the wedding.
"Is that the child of Mr. Yardley? Is he already that big?"
"Why is he here? Is he working as a waiter for the delivery girl?"
They were all dumbfounded. Only Jennifer swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously. She really felt that they should not have come that day because they had unfolded too many secrets.
Everyone thought Vera was just an ordinary woman without any background or status. However, she could get Maddox's son to help out in her small restaurant. And then there was also Ernest and Quill.
These three people were big shots in the business industry.
Thinking of that, Jennifer grabbed her phone on the table and said, "Umm, I suddenly remembered that I still hadn't done my laundry, and it seems like it's going to rain soon. I have to go back now. You guys stay; I'll pay for the meal."
Then she got up and went to the cashier to pay the bill, then left the store quickly.
Everyone else looked at the bright sun outside and wondered, "The sun is blazing; there's no sign of rain at all. What's up with her?"
Hearing that, someone sneered. "You idiot, she's obviously running away because she's afraid. Can't you tell?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
"So, should we leave?"
They suddenly found that the person they wanted to deal with might be someone they couldn't afford to provoke. What was worse? If they lost their jobs or crossed those big companies just because they wanted to embarrass a girl, the loss would surely outweigh the gain. In addition, seeing that Jennifer had left and Beanie and Ernest appearing there made them reconsider their actions.
Soon, some of them followed along and got up.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
"I didn't support the idea of causing her trouble from the beginning, and I'm not in love with President Hanover either. If you want to embarrass her or cause her trouble, be my guest. I'm leaving."
"Then I should leave too. My boyfriend is not happy about me coming here today. It's the weekend, yet I came here for pasta instead of going on a date with him. What's all this for?"
A few of them left one after another. Seven of them came, but now, there were only three of them left, staring at each other.
"Are you guys going to leave as well?"
"Forget it, since we're already here... Why don't we eat before we leave?"
"Okay, well leave after eating then."
Soon, Mabie brought their pasta out. She saw that the crowded table was now left with just three girls sitting there.
"Huh? Did I make a mistake on your orders? Did your table order seven bowls of pasta?"
She put three plates of pasta in front of the girls and asked in confusion, "Had Beanie written the wrong order? Would you like me to change it for you?"
"There's no need!" One of them quickly said, "We usually eat a lot. We ordered seven plates. Please continue serving the rest."
The other two nodded their heads blankly.
Mabie said, "You all don't have to force yourselves. It'll be fine to correct it; if you placed the wrong order."
"No, it's the right one. Auntie, please continue serving the rest. My friend has paid the bill."
There was nothing else Mabie could say since they had already said so. She could only return to the kitchen and mumble as she walked.
"I wonder what's going on with the girls outside. There were only three of them, but they ordered seven plates of pasta. I asked if they placed the wrong order, but they said that there was no need to change. Seven plates; can they even finish it?"
A staff member replied after hearing what she said.
"Auntie, since they said so, then there is no need to change. I suppose that they're craving the pasta badly. They probably wanted to make their trip worthwhile now that they finally have the time to come."
Upon hearing this, Mabie felt that it was rather reasonable, so she didn't let it bother her anymore.
However, the atmosphere outside
was not so pleasant. The three girls who were left behind were upset, and they didn't want to leave just dike that, so they stayed for some pasta. They didn't dare ask for a refund as well, for fear of offending the little Maddox.
"How stupid. What's the big deal if we get a refund? Are we not allowed to issue a refund if we ordered extra by accident? Why are you guys such cowards?"
"If you're that brave, why didn't you say it just now?"
"Yeah, not only did you not say anything, you even nodded. Isn't that approval?"
"You!"

"Forget it, since everyone has left. Obviously, they don't want to ruin their own schedules for this matter. Besides, we are just unwilling to admit defeat. But if President Hanover really takes a fancy to her, then there is nothing we can do either. It's not like we can change President Hanover's thoughts, can we?"
"That's right, Secretary Sharpio has been working under President Hanover for so many years, and she couldn't change anything, let alone us. Besides, we were just unconvinced and wanted to cause her trouble; it's not like we could gain any benefits from doing so."
"What are you two trying to say? Was I the one who asked you guys to come from the start? It's all because you all agreed to it."
All of a sudden, they fell silent. They then looked at each other and sighed.
"Forget it, since we're already here. Since we've decided not to cause her trouble, then let's leave it aside. We'll leave after we finish the pasta."
So the three of them began to eat the pasta. One of them took a mouthful, and her expression suddenly became somewhat different. She wanted to exclaim in awe but was afraid of being laughed at, so she could only whisper a few words.
"Th-the pasta tastes quite nice."
The other two did not believe her and also took a bite. They found that it was rather decent. However, everyone remained silent and ate tacitly.
This matter finally came to an end.
Ernest sat in the private chamber on the second floor for a long time, but he didn't see Vera at all. He swished the tea in his cup and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Had she really neglected the restaurant after she started dating? Tsk, he thought of having some pasta that day.
Just as he was deep in thought, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Soon, Vera appeared in front of him while panting heavily.
"Mr... Mr. Lowell... I just heard that you came. I had something to attend to earlier. I'm sorry."
"It's fine. Dating does require some of your time." Ernest looked at her with a faint smile.
Vera suddenly felt embarrassed. Her face flushed red, and she began to stammer.
She knew that Ernest was acquainted with Quill. He was the one who told Quill to go to the police station at that time.
