Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 298

Nell and Tara were neither close nor did they have any grudges toward each other. She did not dislike Tara either.

However, Tara was a distant cousin of Stephanie. Stephanie always had her eye on Gideon, yet Nell had invited her cousin to dinner. Was she not courting trouble by doing so?

Tara seemed like a tactful person. She would not agree to it, would she?

Unexpectedly, Tara’s eyes lit up and she agreed to it at once.

“Alright, I’ll join you all.”

Nell was speechless.

She led Tara into the private room with a face of awkwardness.

Everyone saw her and felt surprised as well.

Fortunately, some of the attendees like Joel and Simon were smart. Moreover, they did not have strong opinions of Stephanie.

Despite Tara’s surname, she and Stephanie were distant cousins.

Tara’s father was just an extended member of the Garrett family. Although he was also based in the capital city, he merely managed a small-scale business and was nothing in comparison with the direct line of the Garrett family.

Under such circumstances, Tara was not caught in between the family’s power struggle, unlike Stephanie.

Nobody was against her. In addition, she was friendly and attractive. Those who got to know her realized that she was rather adorable too. As such, she got along well with the attendees.

Owen Jackman was the last to arrive as something came up at the hospital and he had to attend to it. His occupation was extraordinary, so the rest of the crowd did not mind.

When he arrived, Nell ordered a waiter to get some cutleries. Owen had on a large, coffee-colored coat and a scarf around his neck. He gave off a soft-spoken, intellectual vibe.

Tara was grilling some meat. The side dishes of the steamboat suited her taste, so she was busy wolfing down the food.

However, he came over just as she stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock and her face blushed. The meat slipped into her throat and got stuck, causing Tara to choke and cough loudly.

Owen was surprised when he saw Tara and asked, “What are you doing here, Tara?”

Tara drank a mouthful of water and finally swallowed that piece of meat. She thought about how hideous and embarrassing she looked earlier, and how she was seen by him.

Following that, she stood up hastily and greeted him with a shy smile.

“Good evening, Senior Brother.”

Everybody else was astonished.

“What Senior Brother? Do you know each other?”

Owen explained cheerily, “Oh, nothing. Didn’t you know that I’ve set up my own medical research center? She came for an interview earlier and is now my assistant.”

A sudden realization dawned on the attendees.

They were aware that Tara was a medical student but they did not expect that she would end up working with Owen.

As such, they felt a greater sense of kinship with Tara.

A waiter came over to seat Owen. Things went back to normal and everyone dined, and made jokes. However, Tara’s face was still red with embarrassment. She kept her head lowered and ate without saying a word.

After everyone had finished eating, Joel pestered his friends to game with him.

He was an avid gamer. As the rest of the people had nothing else to do, they agreed to his wish.

The group sat in a circle on the sofa and got ready with their phones.

Liam did not play that game, so he did not join them but Janet did.

Thus, Janet, Nell, Lucy, Joel, and Owen formed a team.

Gideon sat beside Nell and became her advisor. Nell was worried that the game would last till late at night and disrupt the child’s sleep, so she tasked Matthew with taking Lizzy home.
