Chapter 387


    I pursed my lips and joked, "Luckily, my husband isn''t here. Otherwise, he''d get jealous after


    hearing you say that.”


    Everyone roared withughter.


    I did not notice Matthew''s expression turning bad. I lifted my hands to take the liquor bottle to pour


    some into our sses. He grabbed my hand. "You''re not allowed to drink anymore."


    I withdrew my hand back in a hurry when he touched i t. "It''s alright. I didn’t drink much."


    "It''s still a no." Matthew insisted.


    I could feel that he was doing it on purpose. I was starting to get angry. However, I could not let it


    out in front of so many people. I put the liquor bottle back down with a gloomy face.


    The people here were all experienced. How could they possibly not realize what was going on? The


    atmosphere turned awkward at once.


    My chest started to feel stuffy. I made up an excuse to go to the washroom.


    Theo called me at this moment. I picked it up and said calmly, "I''m having business lunch outside


    now."


    "Where?”


    I leaned on the wall and spokezily, "Moonlight Restaurant.


    How hardworking of him to check in on me.


    Theo did not ask anything more. I hung up the phone and washed my face. I was nning to hurry


    back. After all, it would be rude if I left the table for a long time.


    When I was about to reach the private dining room, I noticed a familiar figure.


    The woman felt my gaze, and she turned around.


    It was Heidi. I was slightly surprised.


    She was wearing the waitress uniform of Moonlight Restaurant. I could not help but frown. Why was


    she working here?


    I waited for her to walk toward me. Then, I asked." Why are you...?"


    "I had no choice." Heidi smiled helplessly. "This is my karma."


    "What do you mean?" I did not understand a word.


    Heidi gave a light sigh. "You were kicked out of Grant Corporation because of me. This is the


    punishment that President Grant gave me. He cklisted me from every otherpany, so I could


    only apply to be a waitress here.”

    I remembered everything she did back then. Still, considering that she had worked with me for so


    long, I did not want to see her in this state because of me.


    I truly did not expect that Theo would punish her behind my back!


    "I didn’t know about this." I pursed my lips. "I''ll give him a call after my business lunch ends. You


    may change your job tomorrow. It''s a shame for you to work here as a waitress with how capable


    you are."


    Heidi nodded her head. "Thank you so much, President Lane."


    I did not say anything more. I turned around and nned to go back.


    However, Heidi suddenly stopped me. With a thud, she knelt on the floor. "President Lane, I''ve


    learned my lesson. I betrayed your trust in me, and I''m very sorry."


    "What are you doing? Come on, get up." I felt helpless a t that moment. "It''s been so long, I don''t


    me you anymore."


    Heidi refused to stand up. She was crying badly." President Lane, I hope you''ll help me. I can''t live


    like this anymore."
