Chapter 2985
Joan smiled timidly and shook her head in silence.
Meanwhile, Jake was embarrassed by Gabriella's intense stare.
Nudging her friend, Joan asked, "Gabriella, what are you doing?"
"Huh? Oh! He's quite hot, so I couldn't look away..."
Gabriella didn't bother to conceal her thoughts at all.
I had never met such a blunt woman! Gabriella then initiated a handshake and greeted the man, "Hello, I'm Gabriella!"
Oh? So she's Gabriella...
Jake chuckled and returned the favor, greeting with a bright grin, "Hello, my name is Jake."
He had heard of the things Gabriella had done to get the better of Joan.
Thus, he was confused when he saw her defending Joan.
Gabriella leaned toward Joan and whispered, "How are you guys related?"
Has she always been a gossipmonger? Since Joan merely glanced at her in silence, she pouted her lips.
"Hey, hurry up and tell me everything!"
Joan whispered in return, "Sure.I'll tell you later"
Isn’t it obvious that he's a friend of mine?
"Mr.Wilson, care to join us for a meal?"
Gabriella brought up her request in a shy manner.
What is she trying to do? Confused, Joan took another peek at the woman next to her.
While she had been trying to stay away from the man, Gabriella actually asked him to join them for a meal.
"Why don't you guys go ahead without me? I need to tend to something else."
Suddenly, Jake broke the silence, asking rhetorically, "Come on! Are you telling us you don't even have time for a meal with us?"
Joan was taken aback by his response.
He's got a point.
