Lamma immediately stepped forward. “Yes, Mr. Hill?”
Adam continued, “Give your number to Miss Mandy.”
“Mr. Hills, I’m asking for your number.” Astrid had never seen such a puzzled man. She wasn’t interested in Adam’s work contact because it was useless to reach his assistant
Mr. Mandy also said at the same time, “Mr. Hills, my daughter admires you very much Why don’t we have lunch together and talk about it Adam seemed to understand what they meant. “Mr. Mandy, I’m sorry! I need to have lunch with my wife.”
Mr. Mandy was very surprised. “You’re married? We’ve never heard any news about your marriage!
Adam smiled and said, “I’ve been married for almost two years but have never held a wedding because I’ve always been swamped. Mr. Mandy, I’ll definitely invite you to our wedding when the time comes.”
Seeing that such an excellent man couldn’t become his son in law, Mr. Mandy was so distressed that he seemed to have suffered a huge loss. However, his smile still remained on his face. “Okay! Then I wish you and your wife a happy and long-lasting marriage!”
Adam nodded and said, “Then we’ll be off now.”
Mr. Mandy said, “Goodbye, Mr. Hills!”
Lumma had to admire Adam’s direct and effective way of refusing. It wouldn’t offend his partner and could also stop the others from pursuing him.
Lumma thought the matter was solved, but Astrid asked to meet her in private when she got off work in the afternoon.
They chose to meet at a cafeteria inside the Grandview Garden.
Astrid was as straightforward as her father. She said to Lumma as soon as they met, “Ms. Louis, I asked you out because of Mr. Hills.”
