Fiona casually ordered a few dishes, knowing the three of them wouldn't be able to eat much. After passing the tablet to the middle-aged man next to her, she stood up. "Hey, I'm just gonna hit the restroom," she said with a smile.
Her sweet, innocent vibe was hard to resist, prompting the man to step forward quickly. "Miss, the restroom's down the hall. Watch out for the slippery floor."
"Thanks," Fiona replied with a polite nod.
As she walked away, the man took the menu and left, casting a curious glance at Jackson and Fiona. He'd seen Jackson at the Emerald Hall before, but this was the first time he brought a young woman along. Interesting!
Fiona seemed young and adorably charming, but her identity was a mystery.
When Fiona came out of the restroom, she ran into Janet and Patricia, who looked like they were up to something.
Leaning against the restroom door, they whispered while casting sneaky glances around. When they noticed Fiona, Janet's eyes widened in surprise. "Fiona, what are you doing here?"
"What’s it to you?" Fiona shot back, rolling her eyes and turning to leave.
Patricia acted fast, pulling Janet aside and whispering something in her ear. Sure enough, a realization dawned on Janet's face.
She grabbed Fiona, who was about to walk away, and smirked. "You think you're something, just because Mr. Fitzgerald is backing you? Without him, you think you'd be living the high life?"
Fiona's expression hardened as she stared at Janet, a chilly glint in her eyes. She wasn't too worried about Janet's constant pestering, but when it came to Jackson, it hit a nerve.
No one messed with Jackson.
