Chapter 697: 227: It’s too late to regret! _3
So Mandel Thompson could only nod, “Okay.”
Mrs. Thompson then continued, “By the way, I have something to tell you. Your aunt will bring her grandson over to play tomorrow.”
The aunt Mrs. Thompson mentioned was her sister Jill Bennett.
“What a coincidence!” said Mary Perryne, “Elena also said she will come tomorrow.”
Mrs. Thompson had a surprised look on her face, “Elena is coming alone?”
Ever since the second son of the Thompson Clan settled in River City and married into the Williams family, he rarely returned, especially Elena Williams.
Mrs. Thompson was not a fool.
She knew that Elena, her daughter-in-law, somewhat disliked her.
After all, she had once tried to stop Evan Thompson and Elena Williams.
Mary Perryne explained, “Charlie will come too.”
As she said this, Mary paused, and then continued, “I heard from Elena that Charlie seems to have a new girlfriend, and she’s coming with him this time.”
“A girlfriend?” Mrs. Thompson frowned slightly, “Who is it? Not that girl named Ye Jun, right?”
Mrs. Thompson had a very poor impression of Ye Jun.
Almost to the extreme.
She strongly disliked people like Ye Jun.
Mary shook her head, “I don’t know her name either. From what Elena said, she should be quite satisfied with this girl. Otherwise, she wouldn’t bring her back to meet us.”
Mrs. Thompson didn’t think much of it and reasoned that the girl was probably not Ye Jun.
After all, she had already warned Elena Williams and Charlie Thompson before.
Upon hearing this, Viola Thompson smiled and suggested, “How about I make milk tea to entertain our guests tomorrow?”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Thompson, Mary Perryne, and Mandel Thompson all said almost in unison, “No!”
Such a strong reaction!
Viola was a bit confused, “Um… why not?”
Didn’t they say her milk tea was very delicious?
Mary Perryne smiled, “Well, there will be too many guests tomorrow, and you won’t be able to handle them all by yourself. Let Master Li do it. Viola, your milk tea is so delicious, don’t waste it on them! Isn’t it better for us to enjoy it behind closed doors with our family?”
Mrs. Thompson nodded in all seriousness.
This was the first time she had ever lied so shamelessly.
Whining-whining-whining!
Mandel Thompson nodded as well.
Viola also thought what Mary said made sense, and smiled, “All right then.”
Miss Thompson, who had been praised several times today, began to get a little full of herself and even started planning to open a milk tea shop when she gets old and retires.
By then, she’d be making milk tea, walking dogs, and nurturing flowers in her spare time.
She’d sell milk tea when she’s happy and close the shop to travel when she’s not.
After all, she couldn’t waste her excellent skills!
Thinking of this, Viola’s mouth curled up slightly, and she smiled, took a picture of the milk tea cup with her phone and sent it to [Fiance with not only 1.8 meters long legs but also eight-pack abs].
In a 38th-floor conference room in the city center.
The man, sitting in a wheelchair, had his eyes slightly lowered, his thick and long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Although he didn’t say anything, he exuded an unstoppable aura of a ruler. The sunlight penetrated through the windows, casting a layer of golden light on him, making him look even more noble and unapproachable, like someone to be revered but not approached.
The project manager reporting on the proposal was a blond-haired, blue-eyed man from Reasin.
However, he spoke fluent Chinese.
When someone is powerful enough, they don’t have to deliberately learn a language; it’s the people around them that need to accommodate them. They try to change themselves if they want to attract your attention.
At this moment, the man in a wheelchair was the best example of this.
He was none other than the formidable and internationally renowned Mr. Terrence Lentz.
Just then, a Wechat notification sound rang through the air.
In this quiet space, it seemed a little abrupt.
Mr. Terrence hates it when people use their phones during meetings.
Someone’s in trouble now!
And it might even affect the others.
Who exactly was not paying attention?
As everyone tensed up and used their glances to search for who hadn’t turned off their phone, the man calmly picked up his phone and replied with a message:[Did you make it?]
This scene left everyone in the conference room a little stunned.
No one expected it to be Terrence Lentz who had not turned off his phone.
It was quite surprising.
