72: Chapter 072: He is my fiancé!
Lionel Yeager was taken aback, not expecting Sunny Tolkien to ask for a loan.
Sunny chuckled awkwardly and said, “Assistant Tolkien, if you’re tight on cash, just forget about it.
Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
With that, Sunny turned to leave.
Lionel quickly called out to Sunny, saying, “Assistant Tolkien, I didn’t say I wouldn’t lend you the money!”
He had previously opened a new account and transferred all his medical bills from the past period to it.
So, he now had over ten billion in his account.
Ten thousand yuan was nothing to him.
Sunny excitedly asked, “Are you really willing to lend me the money?”
Lionel nodded and said, “We are not only colleagues but also friends, of course, I am willing to lend you money.
However, I am curious.
As President Stewart’s assistant, your monthly salary shouldn’t be low.
Why can’t you come up with ten thousand yuan?”
Sunny showed a bitter smile and said, “I have my own difficulties…”
Lionel asked, “What happened exactly?
Sunny pursed her lips but didn’t want to say more.
“Since you don’t want to say more, I won’t pry.”
Lionel waved his hand and said, “Give me an account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you right away.”
Sunny nodded and then gave Lionel an account number.
Lionel quickly transferred the ten thousand yuan to Sunny.
After receiving the funds, Sunny hurriedly said, “Assistant Yeager, as soon as I get my salary this month, I’ll pay you back immediately.”
“There’s no need to rush; this money is nothing to me.”
Lionel shook his head, then said, “Assistant Tolkien, if you really have any problems, just tell me directly.
I will definitely help you.
After all, we are friends, aren’t we?”
Sunny’s eyes filled with tears as she nodded.
Lionel gave her a gentle smile and said, “Alright, go do your work.”
As evening came and nearly everyone in the company had left, Lionel went to the President’s Office.
However, just as he approached the door to the President’s Office, it was opened and Julia Stewart came out with a bag in her hand.
“President Stewart, are you leaving work now?”
Lionel asked curiously.
For the past few days, Julia had been working overtime almost daily.
He didn’t expect her to leave work so early today.
Julia seemed very happy.
“An old university friend called me and invited me to dinner.
Why don’t you come along?”
Lionel agreed with a nod.
They went to the underground parking lot and got into the car.
Lionel asked, “By the way, Julia, where has your friend invited you to dinner?”
Julia answered, “Cloud Cauldron Hotel.
They’ve already booked a private room, so we can just go straight there.”
“Cloud Cauldron Hotel?”
Lionel looked puzzled, “Isn’t that part of your family’s business?
How come your friend booked there?”
Julia explained that the Cloud Cauldron Hotel was one of River City’s most luxurious five-star hotels, with branches in each of the city’s four districts, and managed by Julia’s father, Justin Stewart.
Julia said, “My friend doesn’t know I’m part of the Stewart family.
However, since she can treat me to dinner there, she must have been doing well for herself in recent years.”
Lionel nodded in understanding, and then drove directly to the Cloud Cauldron Hotel.
After arriving at the Cloud Cauldron Hotel and parking the car, Lionel Yeager followed Julia Stewart into the hotel.
As Lionel Yeager and Julia Stewart entered the hotel, the busy lobby manager, Sawyer Lewis, and a group of waitresses came up enthusiastically to greet them.
“Young Mistress, what brings you here?”
He dared not disrespect Julia Stewart, knowing that the whole hotel belonged to her.
Julia Stewart said, “A friend invited me for dinner.
You don’t need to take care of us; go and busy yourself with your own tasks.”
“Do you need me to show you the way?”
Sawyer Lewis asked with a smile on his face.
Julia Stewart shook her head and then instructed, “By the way, all expenses for Listening Rain Pavilion’s private room tonight should be charged to my account.”
“Yes, young mistress!”
Sawyer Lewis nodded in agreement.
Afterward, Lionel Yeager and Julia Stewart went straight to the door of the Listening Rain Pavilion’s private room.
As soon as the door was pushed open, they saw a young couple sitting inside chatting.
The woman was wearing designer clothes with heavy makeup and had a slim figure.
Although she was not as beautiful as Julia Stewart, she was still considered a beauty.
The man was dressed in Versace casual wear, with short hair and silver-framed glasses, giving him a refined appearance.
Seeing Julia Stewart enter, the woman greeted her with a beaming smile, opened her arms, and hugged Julia Stewart tightly.
“Julia, it’s been so long!
I missed you so much!”
Julia Stewart smiled and said, “Selina, you’ve grown even more beautiful after all these years.”
The woman helplessly said, “Julia, you’re just teasing me.
You’re the one who’s getting more and more beautiful.
I can’t even hold my head up in front of you.”
“Selina, is this your classmate?”
At that moment, the man came forward.
Although he hid it well, his eyes occasionally swept over Julia Stewart’s neckline and legs.
Lionel Yeager frowned slightly, thinking that this guy was up to no good.
The woman nodded and said, “Jonathan Harper, let me give you a grand introduction!
This is Julia Stewart, our university’s top beauty!
Back then, we lived in the same dormitory, and we had a great relationship!”
Then, the woman continued to introduce Julia Stewart, saying, “Julia, this is my boyfriend, Pollard Lee.”
“Miss Stewart, nice to meet you.
Selina told me earlier that you are incredibly beautiful, like a fairy.
Now that I see you in person, it’s true.”
Pollard Lee smiled slightly, reached out his hand, and deliberately showed off the Rolex watch on his wrist.
Julia Stewart also responded with a smile and reached out her hand.
Although Pollard Lee’s gaze made her feel uncomfortable, he was still her classmate’s boyfriend, and she couldn’t say much about it.
“Let’s not stand around.
Let’s sit down and chat!”
The woman said with a cheerful laugh and then called out to Lionel Yeager, “Hey, waiter, you can serve the dishes now!”
Seeing that Lionel Yeager didn’t move, the woman frowned and said, “Didn’t you hear what I said?
I said to serve the dishes!”
Julia Stewart hurriedly said, “Selina, you misunderstood.
He’s not a waiter here.
His name is Lionel Yeager, and he’s my fiancé.”
The woman was immediately taken aback and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, Mr.
I really thought you were a waiter here.”
Pollard Lee squinted his eyes slightly, obviously not expecting such a beautiful woman like Julia Stewart to have a fiancé.
Lionel Yeager shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mind.
Julia Stewart introduced Lionel Yeager, saying, “Lionel Yeager, this is my classmate, Claire Weil.”
Lionel Yeager nodded.
