Chapter 660
Joanne felt weird, seeing that the old lady was staring at her like that.
She returned to her senses and quickly realized that perhaps the old lady had misunderstood
her!
Joanne tried explaining that 'that' was not what the old lady thought it meant...
"I am in a hurry, and I've not eaten much. Come along now, accompany me for lunch."
interrupted Old Lady Atherton.
Joanne glanced in the direction of the elevator.
She still had to look for Edwin to discuss the termination of her contract. Miss Reed must be
waiting for her reply.
Old Lady Atherton noticed Joanne's hesitation. "Is there something wrong?” she asked.
Joanne quickly changed her posture and tone, and suddenly she appeared cheerful, "Ah, it's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnothing! Let’s go!"
Who on earth was this old lady...
Joanne wanted to just dig a hole and bury herself in it. Old Lady Atherton was deliberately observing Joanne along
the way.
She may appear a little peculiar, but she had a friendly attitude toward others.
Old Lady Atherton requested the driver to send them to a barbeque restaurant nearby.
As they arrived, Old Lady Atherton felt sick in her stomach from all the smokiness of the premise. She would
frequently dine in luxurious high-end restaurants, so an environment such as this barbeque restaurant was
something Old Lady Atherton was not comfortable with.
Joanne was a foodie, just like Miles. As they reached their table, Joanne took the initiative to wipe the chairs with a
napkin and helped Old Lady Atherton to her seat.
"Do you enjoy barbeque? I love it so much! Eggplant is my favorite! Some people would prefer to have barbeque
meat, but I think the vegetables are much tastier! After you roast the eggplant, the inside is still soft, with all the
charred texture on the outside. Put some garlic and barbeque sauce on it, and the taste is just perfect!" squealed
Joanne in excitement.
Old Lady Atherton sat on her seat without moving, trying her best to hold back her nausea. She dared not touch the
table, apparently disgusted by the layer of grease on it.
Listening to Joanne's words, Old Lady Atherton thought that she did not seem to be a materialistic person.
"How long have you known Edwin?" she asked Joanne.
Joanne scratched her head and counted mentally, "It’s been many years. I've known him since my sophomore
year."
"How old are you?"
"I was 24 years old. I was a sophomore in 2019. Who would have thought that five years would pass so quickly in
the blink of an eye..." replied Joanne.
Five years?
Old Lady Atherton’s thoughts rewinded back to five years ago. It seemed that that was the time when Edwin had

Could it be all for this girl?
Old Lady Atherton withdrew her gaze and said slowly," I’m thirsty."
"Hold up. I’ll pour you a glass of water," said Joanne. She immediately stood up and headed
over to the self- service counter to get some beverages, leaving her bag on the chair.
While she was away, Old Lady Atherton took the opportunity and touched Joanne's bag.
The bag was of decent quality. Its skin did not feel very rough, and it was not from any famous
brand...
As Joanne returned with some drinks. Old Lady Athertone quickly sat upright.
"Here, have some water." Joanne handed a glass of warm water to Old Lady Atherton.
Old Lady Atherton was really not used to the environment around her. She touched the glass
and casually said, "It's too cold."
Cold? Joanne had deliberately mixed some hot water in earlier to warm up the glass of water!
She quickly changed to another glass of water with a higher temperature. She handed it to Old
Lady Atherton and said gently, "Here you go, a warmer glass of water."
Old Lady Atherton frowned. As she reached her hands out, she tilted the glass on purpose...
