Outside the shopping mall, Roland Wang had already been impatient. When he saw Monica, he glared at her and said, "How dare you. Let your boss wait for you!"
Monica had just vented her anger and felt much more comfortable. Her attitude was very good. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, it's all my fault!"
Her attitude was so good that Roland Wang had no reason to break out, so he had to shut up.
Although Roland Wang didn't say anything else, he tried another way to punish her. He required Monica to stand at the door when he was eating.
The cold appetizers had been served, but the main dishes had not been served yet. It seemed that they were waiting for someone.
Until now, Monica had been hungry from a long time ago. Looking at the cold dish, her stomach began growling. Monica licked her lips and swallowed hard. A familiar voice rose. "Mo?"
Monica looked over and saw Zoe Jane standing in front of her with surprise.
She turned her head indifferently, and the people inside saw Zoe Jane all stood up simultaneously. "Mayor Jane, please!"
Zoe Jane ignored the invitation from the people inside and stared at his daughter's face. He hadn't seen her for a few years, found that she had lost too much weight. Seeing her face that looked like his ex-wife, he felt sad and reached out to hold Monica's hand.
The host was shocked by Zoe Jane's action: What's wrong with Mayor Jane? He touched the assistant's hand in public. He looked at Roland Wang and saw that he was not angry at all. Since Mayor Jane was the person who everyone wanted to flatter, he suggested, "Mr. Wang, why not let your assistant come in for dinner?"
Roland Wang nodded and said, "Monica, since Mr. Pan has suggested, come on in for dinner."
Zoe Jane carefully peeled the shrimp shell and put the shrimp into Monica's bowl. Monica glanced at him and found that Zoe Jane had a few grey hairs on his temples. She was stunned. Zoe Jane was young and handsome in her memory. When did he grow grey hair?
Her heart softened. Only when you have children on your own did you realize you should pay your parents back. No matter what, he was still her father. She silently put the shrimp that Zoe Jane peeled into her mouth.
Zoe Jane's face was full of smile, and he was busy picking up other dishes she liked for her. Everyone at the dinner table stared at each other: What was going on?
Roland Wang stared at this scene with his eyes opened wide. "No way, why would this legendary gentleman, Mayor Jane, have such a bad taste that he has a crush on the plain girl? Yet Monica didn't refuse him?"
How odd was Monica's taste! Was she into old guys? His world was turned upside down. He had to talk to Leon Gu about this in case he would be held responsible if anything happened in the future.
