Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1035

Fred felt choked and struggled to find the right words, so he awkwardly laughed and pretended to take a sip of wine, trying to conceal his unease. It became apparent that Lina was fiercely protective of her husband, making it challenging to obtain any useful information from her at the moment.

Putting down his wine glass, Fred felt the heat in the restaurant. The temperature was unexpectedly high, and it made him sweat after just a few sips of wine.

Moreover, not even a single dish had been served so far. There was only a bottle of wine on the table and nothing else!

Fred furrowed his brows. This was supposed to be Best Level, which was renowned for its quality of service and cuisine!

He pressed the call button, but it seemed like the server had vanished into thin air. None of them had come, even after a long wait. Fred felt extremely embarrassed. He had invited someone to a meal and ended up being left alone. He had never felt so humiliated in his life!

Zuko, hiding behind the decorative wall, had a slight smile on his lips.

"Well, maybe it's crowded today, and the place's understaffed!" Fred could only come up with such an excuse to save face.

Lina showed no mercy and said, "Crowded? Mr. Grist, you cleared the whole place, and it's just the two of us in the restaurant today!"

"Well..."

Fred's face instantly turned red with a burst of anger inside him.

He changed the topic again. "Oh, by the way, Ms. Jenner, you're in the same class as my niece, studying architectural design, right?"

Lina nodded. "Yes, that's correct."

"Well, I admire your achievements, Ms. Jenner. With your grades, any big company would prioritize nurturing you as a talent."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Ms. Jenner, I really hope you can work as my assistant." Fred chuckled, gently swirling the tall glass in his hand.

Since he could not get any information out of her at the dinner table, he would take it slowly. This was his second time asking her to work at the Grist Group. After all, Lina was a student, and an internship opportunity at the Grist Group was like a pie in the sky for her.

Although she did not accept it the last time, the opportunity had come again this time. She had no reason to refuse.
