"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Why are you saying this all of a sudden? If everyone can have what they want in life, I wouldn't be working for you at the moment." Paula's heart trembled a little. She didn't understand why Eden suddenly said this to her.
Eden sneered, "We never know what would happen. Anyway, let's go to the meeting. We will go on a business trip in two days. You'd better get ready." After finishing her words, she went directly to the office.
Paula was speechless. Why did she need to get ready?
Thalia was also back to work. She was standing with Dean and looking at Eden and Paula from afar. "Dean, what do you think Mrs. Alwynn was thinking? Paula is clearly involved in this. She must be the one who let out Mrs. Alwynn's schedule."
Dean stood there with his arms crossed, seemed to be thinking about something. "Is it because they were classmates before, so Mrs. Alwynn has always sympathized with her?"
"Are you an idiot? If Mrs. Alwynn were that stupid, how could she became such a good designer?"
"Why are you calling me an idiot again?" Dean looked at her with a smile. Something was different now between them after staying together for a few days.
"Give over. Go and prepare for your work. Mr. Alwynn will be here soon. If you lose your job, I don't think you can ever find a girlfriend in your lifetime."
"Alright, alright, I got it. You're concerned about me." Dean smiled cheekily and ran away.
Thalia stood there with a blushed face.
She muttered, "I'm not concerned about you."
When Eden was working in her office in the afternoon, she suddenly received a call from Karlee.
Eden did not expect that she would contact her so soon.
She smiled and answered the phone. "Karlee, hi."
"Eden, do you have time tonight? I want to invite you out for dinner. I have no friends here anyway." She sounded like she was in a good mood.
Eden took a look at her schedule and there were no important clients that she needed to meet, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Sure, what do you want to eat?"
"I am not very familiar with River City. I have been living abroad. You are a local, so why don't you take me somewhere? I don't like to eat in those big restaurants. Instead, I'd like to try some traditional street food."
Eden hesitated. Karlee had just recovered from miscarriage, so she didn't think she should go out.
She felt Karlee should pay more attention to her own health now.
"It's pretty cold to go out at night, are you sure it is...alright for you?"
"Thank you for being so considerate. But don't worry, I will be fine. I just want to eat delicious food and barbecue." Karlee didn't seem to care at all about her miscarriage.
"Okay them. Send me your address, and I will come to pick you up after work. I know a very good food stall. I'll take you there."
Eden remembered Zofia's food stall immediately. The food there was very good, and it was always very busy.
Her brother also would go to help her after finishing work, and they seemed to be living a very happy life now.
"Sounds good. I'll send you my address later. Thank you, Eden." Karlee was very happy and hung up the phone with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Eden looked at her screen in surprise. How could she still want barbecue?
She wasn't taking her own health seriously at all.
However, she did not seem to have an arrogant temper as a girl from a rich family, which also made Eden surprised.
She quickily sent a message to Victor and told him that she would not go home for dinner.
Then she went to pick up Karlee directly.
