hapter 298 A Beautiful Woman Kept Him Company
Gloria reached the gate and saw a flashy Lamborghini and a handsome man in a blue suit not far away. She frowned slightly.
Jonathan kept watching the entrance. He smiled at the sight of Gloria.
Gloria disliked him showing up around here, though shie kuew his character and the purpose of his
visit. She walked slowly over to him.
After all, they needed to work together to get what they wanted.
Jonathan smiled and opened the passenger door for Gloria. And under all eager, curious gaze, Gloria got in his car. Some girls in the distance could not help screaming excitedly.
“I envy Gloria very much. She grew up basking in alınost everyone’s attention and married such a wonderful man. Old Mrs. Collins likes her and even treats her like her own granddaughter. Now Gloria is divorced. She doesn’t fall off a cliff, but instead, she’s doing a bang-up job. And Jonathan is making a play for her. She’s a lucky woman. I envy her.”
“Who doesn’t?”
After getting into the driver’s seat, Jonathan started the engine, turned to look at Gloria, and softly said, “What would you like for dinner?”
Gloria said in a relaxed voice, “Anything is good.”
She was here to talk business, not for food.
Jonathan guessed the answer. Without asking any further, he took her to a new restaurant.
Gloria was a little surprised upon arrival.
“You…”
She uttered a word and then looked at Jonathan.
Jonathan smiled, “Girls all like this place, so I brought you here.”
The restaurant was usually packed to capacity with many customers, but now it was empty.
“You have this entire place?” Gloria frowned slightly.
Jonathan smiled, “There was always someone bothering us, but now there are only two of us.”
Gloria began to grumble inwardly.
There was always someone bothering us?
You deliberately took me to those places.
You’re doing this because you’re sure I won’t remarry Jordy, right?
“You go in first. I’ll go park the car.”
Gloria nodded and got out of the car.
Not long afterwards, Jonathan returned to join her. The waiter served them all the dishes.
Jonathan’s mouth curved into a smile. “Do you like it here?”
“Yup.” Gloria felt at ease.
They carried on with their meal without mentioning a bit about the project.
They usually talked about business after meals.
Jonathan looked at Gloria’s calm little face across the table. She was here to talk business and stayed as collected as she could. He appreciated her more.
Gloria belonged to the white family. Claude and Angela would absolutely not stand by and watch her take back the company. Even if Jonathan did not have anyone pry into Gloria’s working life, he could guess what her assigned task was.
“You like the food here?” asked Jonathan gently, passing a glass of juice to her.
Gloria took it and nodded, “Yeah, it’s not bad. What about you?”
Most men did not like the food girls loved to eat.
Food that was not very sweet seemed more acceptable.
Jonathan smiled, “It’s good, especially with such a beautiful woman by my side.”
His deep eyes shone with affection.
