Chapter 944
When she arrived, the only person she saw sitting at the designated seat was Naomi Lionel.
Naomi saw Madeline who was walking to her and put on a smile on her face. However, her eyes were brewing with jealousy and envy.
‘Eveline Montgomery. She comes from a good background, married into a good family, and has both children as well as fame.
‘She just delivered a child, yet her body has returned to such a fantastic figure. What’s more with her stunning face. I heard word has gone out saying that she’s being named as Glendale’s number one gorgeous lady.’
Madeline sensed Naomi was up to no good the moment she saw her. However, for the sake of Ryan, she sat down as well.
“My apologies, Mrs. Whitman. Rye had to leave at the eleventh hour because of some urgent issues. I hope you don’t take to heart whatever happened on that day in my house. Today, my intention of inviting Mrs. Whitman out is to express my apology.”
Naomi beckoned to the server to open up the bottle of red wine and poured Madeline a small glass.
“So, Miss Lionel, your purpose of inviting me out is just to say you’re sorry? If that’s the case, I accept it. Then, I’ll be excusing myself for now as I have other business to attend.”
Naomi did not intend to let Madeline leave just like this. “Mrs. Whitman, regarding the draft for the wedding rings, I’d like to discuss some details about it. It won’t take up much of your time.”
As she was saying, her phone rang. She reached out to answer it. “Rye, rest assured. I’m discussing it with Mrs. Whitman.”
Upon hearing that comment, Madeline realized Naomi was using Ryan as an excuse to ask her out.
Naomi picked up the iPad and clicked into the draft that Madeline sent to her earlier. Despite claiming it would not take a long time, she ended up blabbering for quite a long while.
Madeline carried out her duty professionally and jotted down all her requests. After all tasks were done, Madeline got up and headed to the washroom.
In fact, Naomi had been waiting for Madeline to head to the washroom. She took out a mini-sized pill given by Lana and sprinkled the contents into Madeline’s wine. Then, she put on an innocent face and played with her phone.
A smile was plastered on Naomi’s face when Madeline returned. She suggested, saying, “Mrs. Whitman, it seems you’ve used up a lot of energy during the discussion earlier. Why not have something to eat? Try out this red wine. It tastes great.”
