Kathleen looked at Aaron and Emily in shock. “Mr. and Mrs. Morris.”
Hearing that, Aaron coldly nodded.
Emily just smiled and said meaningfully, “Let me take a look at you.”
Kathleen pursed her red lips as she panicked. Oh no! They probably think that the rumors are true!
Kathleen glanced at the camera and said hesitantly, “Please come inside.”
“There’s no need to be nervous.” Wynnie held Kathleen’s hand and said, “We are not close-minded people.”
At that moment, Kathleen felt awkward.
She led them inside the restaurant. They sat down at the dining table that had been reserved for them.
Just then, Mila walked out of the kitchen with a grin. “You’re here.”
“Mila, congratulations on finding such a good opportunity to promote your business,” Wynnie said with a half-smile.
“It’s all thanks to Kate,” Mila replied with a faint smile.
“Mdm. Hunt, it is your great reputation that attracts all these customers.” Kathleen didn’t dare to take credit.
“There is no need to be humble.” Mila flashed a smile. “You should drink some coffee while you wait. I’ll go prepare the food.”
“Sure, go ahead.” With that, Wynnie let go of Mila’s hand.
Just when Kathleen was about to go and help in the kitchen, Steve said grimly, “Kathleen, you know these people, so you should be the one serving them. I’ll go help in the kitchen.”
“I…” Kathleen pursed her lips.
“Don’t worry about it.” Steve gave her a soft smile before he turned around and left.
“Kate, the second group of customers are here,” John shouted excitedly.
Kathleen walked over to the entrance. She was stunned when she saw who had come. “Charles? Chris?”
Why is everyone I know visiting today? More importantly, why did the two of them come together?
“Christopher?” Emily grinned. “Why are you here?”
“Mdm. Hunt invited me,” Christopher explained.
“Let’s chat inside.” Charles patted Christopher on the shoulder before raising his brows at Kathleen.
Kathleen followed them.
“Since you’re here, let’s dine together,” Emily said. “Mr. Johnson, is that okay?”
“Of course.” Charles smiled and nodded. “As long as you don’t mind me joining you.”
“Oh, not at all. After all, we are family,” Diana said with a smile.
“You’re right. Just treat me like family.” Charles flashed them a suggestive smile.
Hearing that, Kathleen kicked his chair under the table to stop him from spouting nonsense.
Next, Charles turned to greet Cynthia.
Kathleen and John combined the tables for them so that the group could sit together.
Kathleen glanced at the only single table and frowned.
I wonder who reserved this table.
While she was deep in thought, a shadow approached her.
Kathleen looked up in shock. “S-Samuel?”
Samuel looked at her coldly. “What were you daydreaming about?”
Kathleen hurriedly looked to the side. Everyone was looking at them.
Samuel added flatly, “Mdm. Hunt invited me.”
Kathleen nodded. “Since you all know each other, do you want to join them?”
“There’s no need.” Wynnie shook her head. “Let him eat by himself. If he joins us, he’ll ruin the atmosphere.”
Kathleen didn’t know what to say.
However, Samuel wasn’t bothered by what Wynnie had said. He looked at Kathleen and explained, “I really don’t have any other intentions. Mdm. Hunt invited me to come, so I have to show up.”
“I understand.” Her gaze was calm. “Are you really not going to join…”
Samuel shook his head and cut in, “I want to eat alone.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
Then, she led him to the only single table in the restaurant.
“Do you want water or coffee?” Kathleen asked coldly.
Samuel unbuttoned his suit. Seeing that, Kathleen had to admit that he looked extremely elegant and charming.
