Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1409

Today, Marcellus deliberately wore a slightly more casual suit, wanting to appear less mature. He pulled out a chair, "Mrs. Julius, please have a seat."

Wallis glanced at the seat; it was the main seat. She quickly moved to the side and said, "Mr. Perkins, you must sit here; I can't..."

"Why not?" Marcellus also insisted, in his eyes, she was his girlfriend's mother, and he absolutely could not be neglectful. "As the elder, it's most appropriate for you to sit here."

Beryl looked at the back and forth between the two of them and realized the atmosphere was about to become tense. She quickly tried to ease the situation, "Mom, since Mr. Perkins said you should sit, just go ahead. Otherwise, he'll feel awkward."

Wallis hesitated for a moment after hearing this but knew it would be impolite to continue declining. With some unease, she sat in the main seat.

Beryl sat down next to her while Marcellus took the seat across from them.

The three of them looked at each other, and an awkward silence filled the air. Finally, the waiter brought the menu, breaking the tension.

"Mrs. Julius, have a look and see if there's anything you'd like to eat. I've asked them to prepare some signature dishes, and you can add anything you like."

Wallis's main purpose for coming here was not to eat. "Whatever you order is fine; I have no dietary restrictions."

After handing the menu back to the waiter, Beryl, and Marcellus's eyes met, but they quickly averted their gazes like they were scalded by boiling water. There was an awkwardness as if they were hiding something, feeling guilty as if they had been caught red-handed.

Soon, a variety of exquisite dishes were served, and it was evident that Marcellus had put some effort into ordering them.

As Wallis looked at the man sitting across from her, she could feel the natural aura emanating from him with every move he made. This was the first time she faced a big boss with such status, truly sensing the difference between people and the gap between social classes.
