Chapter 660
Joanne felt weird, seeing that the olddy was staring at her like that.
She returned to her senses and quickly realized that perhaps the olddy had misunderstood her!
Joanne tried exining that ''that'' was not what the olddy thought it meant...
"I am in a hurry, and I''ve not eaten much. Come along now, apany me for lunch." interrupted Old Lady
Atherton.
Joanne nced in the direction of the elevator.
She still had to look for Edwin to discuss the termination of her contract. Miss Reed must be waiting for her
reply.
Old Lady Atherton noticed Joanne''s hesitation. "Is there something wrong?” she asked.
Joanne quickly changed her posture and tone, and suddenly she appeared cheerful, "Ah, it''s nothing! Let’s
go!"
Who on earth was this olddy...
Joanne wanted to just dig a hole and bury herself in it. Old Lady Atherton was deliberately observing
Joanne along the way.
She may appear a little peculiar, but she had a friendly attitude toward others.
Old Lady Atherton requested the driver to send them to a barbeque restaurant nearby.
As they arrived, Old Lady Atherton felt sick in her stomach from all the smokiness of the premise. She
would frequently dine in luxurious high-end restaurants, so an environment such as this barbeque
restaurant was something Old Lady Atherton was notfortable with.
Joanne was a foodie, just like Miles. As they reached their table, Joanne took the initiative to wipe the
chairs with a napkin and helped Old Lady Atherton to her seat.
"Do you enjoy barbeque? I love it so much! Eggnt is my favorite! Some people would prefer to have
barbeque meat, but I think the vegetables are much tastier! After you roast the eggnt, the inside is
still soft, with all the charred texture on the outside. Put some garlic and barbeque sauce on it, and the
taste is just perfect!" squealed Joanne in excitement.
Old Lady Atherton sat on her seat without moving, trying her best to hold back her nausea. She dared
not touch the table, apparently disgusted by theyer of grease on it.
Listening to Joanne''s words, Old Lady Atherton thought that she did not seem to be a materialistic
person.
"How long have you known Edwin?" she asked Joanne.
Joanne scratched her head and counted mentally, "It’s been many years. I''ve known him since my
sophomore year."
"How old are you?"
"I was 24 years old. I was a sophomore in 2019. Who would have thought that five years would pass so
quickly in the blink of an eye..." replied Joanne.
Five years?Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Old Lady Atherton’s thoughts rewinded back to five years ago. It seemed that that was the time when
Edwin had moved out and founded the Worldwide Entertainment Company.
Could it be all for this girl?
Old Lady Atherton withdrew her gaze and said slowly," I’m thirsty."
"Hold up. I’ll pour you a ss of water," said Joanne. She immediately stood up and headed over to the self-
service counter to get some beverages, leaving her bag on the chair.
While she was away, Old Lady Atherton took the opportunity and touched Joanne''s bag.
The bag was of decent quality. Its skin did not feel very rough, and it was not from any famous brand...
As Joanne returned with some drinks. Old Lady Athertone quickly sat upright.
"Here, have some water." Joanne handed a ss of warm water to Old Lady Atherton.
Old Lady Atherton was really not used to the environment around her. She touched the ss and casually
said, "It''s too cold."
Cold? Joanne had deliberately mixed some hot water in earlier to warm up the ss of water!
She quickly changed to another ss of water with a higher temperature. She handed it to Old Lady Atherton
and said gently, "Here you go, a warmer ss of water."
Old Lady Atherton frowned. As she reached her hands out, she tilted the ss on purpose...
