Chapter 1066 In The Same Restaurant


    "Mr. Larson, I don''t think it''s appropriate to visit to this hotel. This is the ce where you and Mrs.


    Larson quarreled thest time..." Vivian said in a hushed voice.


    "Oh, it''s fine. We don''t even mind, so why should you?" Brandon smiled and narrowed his eyes as


    he said slyly.


    Vivian was startled by Brandon''s passive-aggressive look. She pursed her lips and decided it would


    be best for her to stay silent.


    However, Brandon was not done intimidating Vivian. He put on a serious expression and asked, "Is


    there anything about the hotel that''s worrying you?"


    Vivian racked her brain to find an excuse and an idea suddenly shed through her mind. She


    regained herposure and replied hurriedly, "Many of us in thepany thought the food here a


    little too spicy. So I thought it would be better to choose another location where the food is more


    agreeable for our staff. I happen to know a good Japanese restaurant nearby. Perhaps we could go


    there?"


    "It''s mainly because my wife likes the environment of this restaurant very much. If the staff feel that


    the food is too spicy or something, I can hire another chef to be in charge of tonight''s dishes. Just


    go ask around what they like to eat." Brandon countered her indifferently.


    "Oh, Mrs. Larson likes this restaurant..." Vivian muttered with a forceful smile.


    ******


    In the evening, the Larson Group had booked the


    entire Newden Hotel.


    J and Brandon entered the dining hall hand in hand. When J saw Vivian across the room,


    she walked over and sat at the same table.


    J started chatting with Vivian and the other female colleagues. One of themplimented


    J, "Mrs. Larson, this ce is amazing. The environment is great, and the dishes are fresh and


    appetizing."


    "I thought you all didn''t like the food here. I heard many of you thought the food here was too spicy,"


    J said innocently, but her eyes were saying otherwise.


    Vivian forced a smile and replied hurriedly, "Mr. Larson said he would hire another chef to prepare


    today''s dinner. The dishes we had previously were not really suitable to the taste buds of the people


    in Barnes."


    "I''ve been here several times before. The food is delicious, but it''s a little expensive," a short-haired


    colleague said as she looked at Vivian curiously.


    "Vivian is rich and has exquisite tastes. She is different from us ordinary people," another female


    colleague said sarcastically.


    Vivian clenched her fists silently but controlled her temper and smiled politely at the colleague.


    "Okay, the food is here. Let''s just dig in," J quipped as she tried to diffuse the tension at the


    table.


    While they were eating, a colleague started to gossip. "I heard a waitress here had previously fallen


    down the stairs for no reason, and she is still lying in the hospital now."


    "It''s horrible! How did that happen?"


    "It was said that it was an ident. But I don''t believe it. How could she fall by herself for no reason


    at all? Someone must have pushed her, right?"

    J listened to their conversation in silence and noticed the colors draining from Vivian''s face.


    She also looked a little absent-minded.


    The gossip was getting increasingly intense, and everyone was specting about what had


    happened. Suddenly, Vivian pounded the table and stood up. She looked at them coldly and


    scolded, "Why are you gossiping about this at thepany''s party? It really ruins my appetite."


    Everyone was shocked by Vivian''s sudden outburst, but they didn''t dare to argue because her


    position was higher than theirs.


    The short hair woman muttered to herself begrudgingly, "Mrs. Larson isn''t evenining. What


    right does she have to scold us?"


    "Suck it up. It''s best to avoid trouble," another colleague whispered, and everyone ate in silence.


    J nced at Vivian''s exasperated look and said gently, "It''s after working hours now. It''s not a


    big deal to discuss something other than work. Sit down and enjoy the meal."


    "I was just afraid their gossip may affect others '' appetite." Vivian smiled faintly before sitting down


    awkwardly to continue eating.


    She knew the waitress who had been pushed downstairs was still in aa.


    The waitress'' family had brought her home to take care of her. She would never appear in front of


    Vivian again for the rest of her life.


    Vivian didn''t worry about being discovered, but now she was a little disturbed by these female


    colleagues '' words.


    Brandon was walking over to their table after finishing a discussion about some business with


    several shareholders when he heard the ruckus. He ced his hand on J''s shoulder and


    whispered, "Is everything alright? What just happened?"


    "It''s nothing. We were just having a heated


    discussion," J replied with a faint smile. Suddenly, she remembered the wine she had prepared


    and said excitedly, "Brandon and I have brought several bottles of good wine today. I''ll get the


    waiters to bring them over. Let''s get drunk today!"


    Everyone cheered and expressed their gratitude.


    Only Vivian remained expressionless. For some reason, she felt increasingly uneasy.


    Soon, a waiter came and opened the wine bottles.


    Suddenly, someone nudged Vivian''s arm and whispered, "Vivian, look! Wasn''t this the waitress from


    the previous dinner party?"


    Vivian frowned as she nced up at the waitress.


    Her eyes instantly widened in shock. "It is her..." Vivian muttered, her voice trembling.


    She was horrified to see the waitress wearing a mask that looked very simr to the one who had


    been seriously injured. Wasn''t the waitress supposed to be lying at home unconscious? What was


    she doing here?
