Before Marcellus could reply, Beryl coughed to interject, feeling anxious, "Mom, Mr. Perkins and his girlfriend have a good relationship. It's impolite to ask such questions."
Seeing her daughter's nervous reaction, Wallis became even more worried. Although they had spoken very little since they arrived, the atmosphere between the two of them was not that of a regular boss and employee.
As a mother, she understood Beryl best, and seeing her anxious, Wallis had an idea.
Perhaps the situation was not as simple as she had thought.
Could it be that the two of them were together?
A big boss and a female student. Although this Mr. Perkins looked very young, he was still much older than her. Could such a relationship really exist?
Wallis was an honest person, and thinking about this made her feel a bit awkward. However, she still restrained herself because Marcellus had helped them a lot.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Marcellus frowned slightly and turned the revolving table to break the silence. "Mrs. Julius, please have some more."
Wallis's expression remained calm, and she suddenly changed the topic, saying, "Mr. Perkins, our Beryl is an obedient girl. You've helped us so much this time, and we're very grateful. But besides gratitude, we will repay you the money and interest as soon as possible."
Suddenly bringing up the topic of repayment, and that too at the dinner table, Marcellus was taken aback. "Mrs. Julius..."
"We will draw up a loan agreement and have Beryl hand it over to you."
Beryl was also stunned and tugged at her clothes under the table. "Mom, what are you saying?"
