Chapter 981 Dinner For Three People
Derek had booked a table at a fancy restaurant downtown inside a five-star hotel. Many people had gathered in the restaurant
after work.
Derek pulled over to the side of the road and parked his Maserati. Janet and Elizabeth then exited the car and walked to Derek’s
side.
Elizabeth was standing tall and had a cold expression on her pretty face. On the other hand, Janet looked pure and gentle. Her
long hair was curly, and she was wearing a dress and a pink coat.
They were two different types of beauties who, along with a handsome man, drew a lot of attention.
Derek, of course, was aware of the onlookers’ attention. He didn’t care at all and even felt a sense of complacency. His ego was
greatly satisfied by the envious gazes of the passers-by.
“Please keep your face expressionless. You’re really annoying.” Janet couldn’t help but complain when she saw Derek’s smug
expression.
Derek, like a true gentleman, opened the restaurant door for them. “Why? Can’t I smile? Janet, you’re becoming increasingly
cruel to me.”
He approached Janet deliberately and snickered, “But it doesn’t matter. I like bad women.”
Janet was certain that she would witness that day, since she had seen the same thing happen to Garrett.
Derek didn’t take it seriously. Squinting his eyes, he teased, “You’re already married. I don’t believe I’ll ever find true love.”
Janet did not comment. They continued walking into the restaurant.
The waiter was very enthusiastic as he led them to their table.
Elizabeth smiled as she listened to them bickering. She removed her coat, pulled out a chair, and sat down. She spun around
and peered out the window. “This place has a beautiful view.”
A dense ginkgo forest surrounded the restaurant.
“What would you ladies like to eat? Burritos and tacos are two of their signature dishes here.” Derek looked through the menu,
introducing them to the famous dishes. He and his manager had visited this restaurant several times.
Since both Janet and Elizabeth weren’t picky eaters, they let Derek order food for them. He then ordered some food and a bottle
of the most expensive wine in the restaurant.
When Elizabeth noticed that the dinner had not yet been served, she took out a document and handed it to Janet. “I’ve given
Derek the draft. This is a copy. Derek, didn’t you say something was wrong with the design? What is it?”
Derek was rendered speechless. “Wait a minute. I’ll look at it again,” he said, pretending to cough slightly.
He expressed his thoughts on the design while checking the draft.
Janet carefully recorded Derek’s opinions, so she didn’t notice that not far away, at two long tables, there were about seven
Larson Group employees with their ID cards. The Larson Group had planned a welcome party for the newcomers, which took
“Let’s order. This popular Mexican restaurant is somewhat expensive. Fortunately, today it’s the company’s treat. You are free to
order whatever you want. The company will pay the bill.” A lively female employee was brightening the mood. She passed the
menus to her colleagues.
Vivian thanked her and accepted the menu. She wasn’t interested in Mexican food, and she wasn’t interested in this party either.
She was only persuaded to come because she had the highest position among them. As the last additional member of the
Larson Group, everyone saw her as a very mysterious person.
“Vivian, is there any particular dish you like? Let me help you order.” Many of her female colleagues were giving her special
treatment.
“You hadn’t talk with us much since you came to the Larson Group. We’ll be working in the same department from now on, and
we can get to know each other at this party.”
“Okay,” Vivian replied with a smile.
Another colleague suddenly said, “I didn’t expect that you were recruited by Mr. Larson himself. You are truly amazing. It seems
that Mr. Larson has a soft spot for you.” “After all, Mr. Larson is usually cold and easily irritated. He’s only different and gentle
with his wife,” a male colleague, who was interested in Vivian, added.
He thought that Vivian was really amazing. Among them, she had a mediocre education background and no work experience,
but she could get a higher position than them. Vivian confidently raised her brows and smiled. This type of flattery pleased her.
“I’m just lucky. Mr. Larson places a higher value on strength. I’m simply outstanding in this aspect.”
Vivian wanted to say more, but she noticed that the attention of her female colleagues who had been listening to her had shifted
to something else.
“The woman sitting by the window looks like Janet.” “It’s really Janet! Oh my goodness! How could she date another man?”
The female employees exchanged stunned glances.
