Chapter 662


    I thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. In any case, this had nothing to do


    with me.


    After Theo left, Munchkin kept asking where he went and when he wasing back. I could only


    tell him that he would soon be back. After asking a few more times, he stopped asking again.


    The days were not as quiet recently. The rumors about Fred and I were getting more and more


    outrageous in the restaurant. Some even said that we were already living together.


    At first, I was quite troubled about it, but Iter got over it. Humans would only choose to believe in


    whatever they were willing to believe in. There was no use exining. Being overly concerned


    about it would only add to one''s troubles.


    Fortunately, due to my rtionship with Carlson, most people would not show malice when they


    saw me.


    When it was payday, Fred handed me the payslip and said with a smile, "You should buy me a


    meal."


    When I saw that my sry had increased twice as much, I nodded. "What do you want to eat?"


    Someone overheard our conversation and chimed in,"


    Miss Lane got a promotion and a pay raise. This is worth celebrating."


    Fred smiled at me and made noments.


    I let out a small smile and said, "Let''s have dinner together, then. After that, we''ll all go to the bar?"


    "Sure!” Severaldies responded cheerfully.


    When the rest had gone back to work, Fred said to me, "Your total sry is only 8,000 dors. It will


    cost 1,000 to 2,000 for a meal. After another round at the bar, you won''t have much left."


    I smiled. "It''s okay. My spending isn’t huge now anyway, so I don''t need to use a lot of money.


    Everyone’s excited, so let’s just go and have some fun."


    Fred nodded with a smile. "I''ll ask my mom to go to the kindergarten to pick Munchkin and Tiana up


    tonight. We can go back a littleter."


    "Okay."


    I found a rtivelyrge French restaurant and booked two private rooms.


    The group went over at night and when it was time to order, someone teased, "This is the best


    French restaurant in Zenon and the food isn''t cheap. You''re really generous, Miss Lane."


    "This meal is going to cost you half of your sry."


    Someone echoed, "Miss Lane doesn''t only make money from here for a living. Why are you feeling


    sorry for her?"


    It was Fiona who spoke. I smiled but did not say a word and continued to ask them to order the


    food.


    After ordering food, everyone started making idle conversation.


    Someone looked at me and asked, "Do you n to live here in Zenon for good, Miss Lane? Or do


    you n to g o back after some time?"


    I replied, "I''m not sure."


    "I heard that the two presidents of the Grant and Zimmer Corporation are in contention. Both are


    interested in drawing the Schumans over to their side. Can you perhaps reveal some of the details,


    Miss Lane? Maybe we can gossip a little about it?"


    When a group sat together, what better things were there to do than gossip? I smiled and said, "I


    didn''t stay very long in Whaldorf City and came over to Zenon three years ago, so I''m not very sure


    either."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Fiona had always been a highly visible person. Without her father''s support now, she was given the


    cold shoulder and felt unfairly treated.


    She looked at the crowd and said, "As I remember, Miss Lane''s son is already four years old. Say,


    why do you think a rich daughter is hiding with her son in such a remote town?"


    This topic was quite gossipy in nature.


    All of a sudden, everyone at the table turned to look at me. Someone asked curiously, "Miss Lane,


    we seem to have never seen or heard of your son’s father before."


    I pursed my lips. The waiter happened to be serving the food, and I said, "We''ve been talking for so


    long. Everyone must be hungry now. Hurry up and dig in."
