After Harriet left from the office before, Irene want outrageous again. She blocked the door from letting him go out to work which pissed him off directly.
Wesley did not say anything.
Irene tried to please him this time,”Wesley, I went to check the bar, which is better than I thought. I know you always do the best for me. You often fail to have dinner on time because you are too focused on your work, so I am going to remind you the dinner time in the future. Could you just forgive me?”
Irene was spoiled since she was a child. It was rare that she asked him for his forgiveness even though she did not show much guilt from her behaviors.
He would be stingy if he did not accept her apology if she had already acted so coquettishly.
Wesley was helpless.”Do you really need me to have the dinner with you? I still do not finish my work.”
“it won’t delay your business just for a dinner. I promise, I will send you back in person in an hour when we finish our dinner.”
Wesley could only agreed with her idea.
Sitting in the car, Irene was playing her mobile phone. For her, the last incident had been turned over easily with saying some words and compensated him with just a meal.
Wesley somehow thought of Harriet again looking out the window.
Whether deliberately pleasing him or not, Harriet would always be around him and did what he said. She was still not a good cooker two years ago but she learned how to cook better for him. Even though he enjoyed a lot of exquisite food outside, what he was missing was the bowl of beef noodles she made.
The car stopped at the door of the restaurant. Jack hurried back after the inquiry and talked across the window.”Boss, Miss Whitty, the restaurant was booked by someone and did not accept other customers. We better find another restaurant.”
Irene wanted to have dinner at this restaurant on a whim, so she did not made an appointment in advance.
“Then go for anther one.”Wesley said slightly.
“No, I just want to eat here,”Irene frowned and ordered,”You go and tell them that I will pay double the price to get the chance to eat here.”
Jack glanced at Wesley, looking embarrassed.
“Go and tell them.”Irene urged with dissatisfaction.
After seeing Wesley nodding with acquiesce, Jack hurriedly returned.
Irene was uneasy, pulling the arm of Wesley”Wesley, Jack is too procrastinating. Let’s off the car. This restaurant is opened by my dad’s friend. You know the boss too. They will definitely respect you and let us eat here.”
Wesley was a little tired of Irene’s waywardness, but he got used to spoil her.
“Let’s go.”
In the restaurant, Harriet was eating dessert alone as Keith went to the bathroom.
The waiter walked over with embarrassment, “Madam, have you enjoyed the dinner?”
“We almost finish the dinner, what’s wrong?”
“There is a gentleman who wants to bring his fiancee to dinner here. We find it hard to refuse them as he is our boss’s friend, but we cannot allow them to have dinner here either as you and your friend have chartered the restaurant, so…”
“If that so, “Harriet had always been easy-going about life’s trivialities, and smiled slightly, “It’s okay, we are almost done. we will leave after my friend is back from the bathroom. You can accept them after we go.”
“Thank you for your understanding, then the cost of your charter and meals tonight will be charged to the account of the gentleman.”
It was lucky for Harriet to have a dinner for free, not to mention they were almost finished. It was just that she was a little curious about the generous gentleman.
She looked towards the entrance of the restaurant, and her eyes gradually froze.
The man was in a straight suit which was cut fitted, and a slim woman next to him holding his arm intimately. The two were looking towards her.
She recognized them once they looked at each other.
They were Wesley and Irene. What an coincidence.
Harriet thought of the last time she was humiliated, and it was still a pain in her heart for the operation. She lost her children, health, and the chance of being a mother forever because of them.
Why could they still be able to hang out outright in pairs, and why should she give up her cherished stuff?
“Miss-”
“Sorry, I take back what I just said, I will not give up the charter tonight.”
The waiter froze for a while and saw Harriet’s face full of anger. Although he didn’t know what was happening, he guessed they probably knew each other. He didn’t ask more and walked toward the cash register.
“Sir, I’m really sorry, the lady is not willing to give up the charter tonight.”
The waiter conveyed Harriet’s meaning to Wesley and Irene.
Irene frowned, “Aren’t you just gesturing to say she agrees with the idea?”
“The lady said yes before, but I don’t know why she suddenly changed my mind.”
Wesley already knew why she changed her mind as he had recognized Harriet for the glancing before.
Irene didn’t notice what was wrong and walked towards Harriet after losing her hands from Wesley’s arm.
“I’ll go and ask.”
“Irene, “Wesley’s eyes narrowed slightly but failed to stop her.
“Hello lady.”
Irene had already spoken.
Harriet touched the base of the red wine glass on the table without raising her head.
“The thing is my boyfriend comes with me for dinner here. I didn’t know it was booked by you. It seems that you almost finish you meal. I hope you will give us the charter. tonight”
“But I don’t want to give it.”
“I am willing to pay twice the price.”
When she heard this sentence, Harriet finally raised her head, revealing a frosty face, “Not everything in this world can be bought with money. Money can not buy my pleasure here.”
“Aren’t you finished dinner?”
Irene was about to talk but her eyes suddenly startled with raised brows, “Is it you?”
There was a brief stagnation in the air.
Irene sneered with a clear contempt floated in her eyes, “You are just awesome to pretend to be noble by chartering the restaurant with the money from your lover.”
She held Wesley’s arm in front of Harriet, proud as a peacock.”Wesley, I want to eat here today. My parents asked me to take you come and eat at this restaurant, what do you say?”
Irene was playful but she was not stupid. She knew only shrews would rush up and entangle with the bitch in this case. Smart women will always let men deal with matters.
Her mother was right. She was the only daughter of the Jones family. As long as she did not cross the line too much, Wesley would never go against her will for she was supported by the Jones group.
Harriet said sarcastically, “You guys, no matter how do I charter the restaurant, you should obey the rules. I come here first and let alone I have not started the meal, even I finish, you can not let me get out of here if I am not willing to leave.”
“Do you still know that you come first?”Irene’s worlds filled with anger. She was merciless.”I don’t think you know that when you interfere other people’s relationships. Do you know what it’s called? You are a bitch with different standards.”
Harriet inserted a cold-lighted fork directly into the dessert. The fork passed through the dessert and hit the porcelain plate. The sound was sharp and harsh, echoing in a large restaurant.
Irene was shocked by her and suddenly shrank behind Wesley.
“Harriet?”Wesley was stunned slightly.
“What are you afraid of?”Harriet raised her head slowly.”Do you think I will kill you with this fork? I just don’t like to this dessert but someone has a knife hold on my neck to let me eat it. But the people around just said that I liked to eat that dessert, so I just vented a little bit”
