“It’s very beautiful,” he said.
She quickly covered her chest with her hand and pulled down the hem of her skirt.
After wearing a long dress for a long time, she was still not used to it.
“Is… is that okay?”
There was a smile on Paul’s lips, “You should have worn this a long time ago.”
She thought for a moment and insisted on asking for a small shawl. When she stood, it could cover her
upper body, and when she sat down, it could cover her legs. It was more or less a cover.
Paul looked at her for a long time and did not object. He paid the bill directly.
The banquet was held in a private room of a hotel in the east of the city.
Paul pushed the door open and walked in. As usual, she kept a distance from him. Just like before, she
followed Leo and tried her best to keep a low profile. She would only show up when he needed.
her.
However, Paul didn’t think so. He wrapped his long arms around her waist and led her into the
private room.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
He greeted the others at the banquet with a smile. After taking a rough look, Megan found that there
were quite a few people at the banquet. There were nearly ten people, all of whom were foreigners.
Paul was speaking in the local language. The foreigners probably didn’t understand him and looked
confused.
Logically speaking, there should be a professional interpreter present on such an occasion, but no one
stood up to answer.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Paul also frowned slightly and whispered to her, “I knew it. My father insisted on me setting up a trap.
There must be something bad going on.”
Megan couldn’t keep being in a deadlock like this. After thinking for a while, she stood up and greeted
others in English.
The bearded foreigners looked at each other in dismay.
She tried French and German again.
Still, no one answered.

She carefully observed the appearances of these people. Although they had big noses and deep eye
sockets, their eyes and hair were all black. They should not be from Northern Europe. Instead, they
looked like…
She tried to greet them in Spanish.
This time, the foreigners finally reacted and burst into laughter, “Miss interpreter, didn’t you make any
preparations before? You never knew about that we are from Spain.”
Megan quickly explained, “I’m sorry, I’ll make preparations in the future.”
“It doesn’t matter. You know a lot of languages. You’re very good.”
She smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Paul asked her, “What are you talking about?”
She translated for him roughly. Paul was also a little surprised, and at the same time, he showed a bit
of appreciation, “Spanish? You can also speak Spanish?”
“Yes, there are a lot of people who can speak English, but there are not many translators who can
speak Spanish. Besides, we have to talk about business. There are many professional terms.
Generally speaking, it will take at least a week to translate.”
Paul asked, “Then can you do it?”
She took a deep breath and said, “If my annual salary is 300000 dollars, I can do it.”
Paul chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word.”
These Spanish men were very talkative and did not make things difficult for her. She had asked Paul
about the details of the contract and it was quickly settled.
A few foreigners praised her accent, “Have you lived in Spanish before, Miss interpreter?”
She shook her head, “No.”
“You speak very well in Spanish.”
-“Because my boss stayed in Spanish for more than half a year. I learned it for him.”
“Has Mr. Travis ever stayed in Spain?”
“Oh, no, it’s my former boss.”
Tessa had studied violin in Spain, and Leo often flew over to find her.
Later, in order to be more like Tessa, she went to learn Spanish by herself.

Learning language was not something that could be done overnight. There was no need to say much.
about the hardships involved, but it was just for the sake of reminiscing about the beautiful times Leo
and Tessa had spent together.
She remembered that it was the first time that Leo had praised her, and she had been happy for half
a month.
She just didn’t expect that the Spanish she had learned would come in handy today.
At this moment, someone pushed the door open and came in, “I’m sorry, I’m today’s interpreter…”
The foreigners were stunned, “Miss interpreter is already here, and we have already made a deal. Sir,
did you go the wrong way?”
The interpreter was also a little confused, “Excuse me, is this the private room booked by Mr. Travis?”
Paul nodded, “Yes.”
“Then I didn’t go wrong.” The interpreter looked at Megan unfriendly, “Miss, what are you doing? Are
you trying to rob me?”
Just as Megan was about to explain, she saw a familiar figure flash past the door.
She crouched down almost immediately and hid under the table.
Paul glanced out of the door and asked, “What did you see? Why are you so scared?”
Megan shook her head and did not say anything. She thought to herself that she really should check
the almanac when she went out these days. Otherwise, how could she meet him wherever she went?
She didn’t want to cause trouble for Paul. If Leo saw it, given his temper, she didn’t know how he would
take revenge.
What’s more…
She was afraid that this hard-earned job would be ruined by him.
The interpreter, who had been hostile to her, seemed to have seen her weakness at this time. He This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
deliberately shouted, “Mr. Mayor, are you ready to leave? It just so happens that Mr. Travis is here.
Shall we have a drink together?
