Wendy glanced at Sally and said with a smile, "Miss Saletta, nice to meet you. I've heard that you are beautiful, so the reputation is well supported by fact."
Sally did not expect the woman to know her, since she had broken up with Scott long ago. However, she noticed the disdainful look in Wendy's eyes that flashed quickly just now. Although she was smiling, the smile was not sincere.
Perhaps only women could understand each other's implications. "Wendy, you are also very beautiful."
Martin was afraid that this conversation would end in a terrible way, so he teased Sally, "Just thank her. She's right. You're born beautiful."
"Well, I'm the most gorgeous woman in the world." After Sally finished speaking, she lowered her head and drank the tea.
Scott was ordering from the menu when he suddenly looked up and asked, "Sally, I ordered your favorite Roasted Wheat Bran. The menu is quite different now. What do you like to eat? Suit yourself."
Sally, who was holding a glass, paused. She was so familiar with this dish. Every time she came here with Scott, she must order this one.
By tradition, a man and woman who ate this wheat bran together would have a happy marriage.
She used to say to Scott that he would be a wonderful husband.
Now, it was a little harsh to hear the name of this dish again.
Sally put down the glass and said coolly, "Mr. Williams, my tastes have changed a lot now. I don't want to eat this salty and sweet dish anymore. You can have it, but thanks, I'm good."
Scott did not change his expression and continued, "It's okay."
Martin flipped through the menu and found a few spicy dishes. "That's all. Bring them all to her. She only likes spicy food now."
Wendy smiled and said, "You are so considerate to your girlfriend. You even remember what she likes to eat so clearly."
Her words killed two birds with one stone. Firstly, she hinted that Sally already had a boyfriend, and had moved on from Scott. The second was to mock. Scott still remembered what his ex liked to eat so clearly but didn't care about his current girlfriend.
When Scott introduced her just now, he only mentioned her name but did not explain the relationship between them. She was upset, but she did not dare to show it.
Sally wanted to clarify immediately. Looking at Wendy's malicious smile, Sally gave up, wondering what kind of drama she could make.
Martin continued happily, "Sometimes she doesn't know what she likes. I know her better than she does."
Wendy looked envious. "You two are so sweet."
Sally gave Martin a stinky eye.
Soon, the table was full.
Martin ate a lot this time.
Sally had a good appetite and ate a lot too. She didn't care about those two annoying people across from her but only focused on eating.
After finishing the feast, Sally stood up and said, "Thank you for treating us lunch, Mr. Sander. Take your time. I'm going home. Have a good day."
At this moment, both gentlemen stood up and said in unison, "I'll take you home."
They didn't seem to take Wendy seriously.
Wendy stood up as well. "Since we don't have many chances to meet again, let's drive her back after you finish your meal, Scott."
Martin whispered in her ear, "Stay with me for a while longer. I'll take you to the airport to meet Lambert later."
Sally didn't plan to go home. She just wanted to find an excuse to leave because the drama here was too boring, but if Martin was willing to accompany her to the airport, she could stay here for a while longer.
Sally called Lambert to ask where he was. She didn't expect his phone to be off. He was probably on the plane.
