Chapter 105 Were You Worried I Might Do Something to Nola
Nola's face lit up with delight upon hearing Jefferson's compliment, and her voice even softened.
"Thank you, Mr. Larsen, for your kind words."
Asher said in a sarcastic tone, "Aren't women from the Gentry family good at serving people?"
Asher didn’t bother to hide the disdain in his eyes.
Nola's face slightly paled, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
"Well, I'm not bad at serving either. I'll offer this dish to you, Ms. Nola."
Darren smiled and offered the food he had just prepared to Nola.
She said with a grateful smile, "Thank you, Mr. Darren."
"We're of a similar age; there's no need to address me as Mr. Darren. Just call me by my name."
A few casual conversations helped alleviate the tension.
However, Asher seemed still angry. He cut the food on his plate but did not take a single bite.
Elianna knew he was angry because he attempted to belittle the Gentry family to humiliate her, but it didn’t work.
The atmosphere grew awkward during the meal, but Darren helped diffuse the tension.
Throughout the entire meal, Nola attended to Jefferson by his side. Jefferson's attitude towards her had changed, for he no longer showed the disgust as he had done last time. He was giving her some respect.
Furthermore, he hadn't said a single word to Elianna from start to finish.
Initially, Elianna felt relieved, but gradually, she began to sense a different emotion creeping in.
Was he really interested in someone else?
After all, they had been together for a while, and perhaps he was growing tired of her.
Moreover, Nola who was gentle had a soothing voice that could make anyone feel at ease when she spoke.
No wonder that Jefferson would choose her.
As the final dessert was cleared away, the awkward lunch came to an end.
Everyone remained seated, waiting for Jefferson's order.
"You can just leave now."
Jefferson said casually.
With his words, everyone promptly stood up, except for Nola, who hesitated for a moment.
