Ann pursed her lips. She did not expect to meet Melinda here. And she didn't expect that Melinda and Fred would see each other here, either.
Looking at Fred, Ann was about to say something. Yet Fred was quicker. He stood up and put on a polite smile.
"Hello, I'm Ann's boyfriend, Fred."
Looking at Ann's unnatural expression, Melinda had a vague idea about their true relationship.
She smiled bigger as she intimately held Ann's arm.
"Hello, Ann once mentioned you to me a long time ago. I didn't expect to see you here."
Fred looked at the unnatural smile on Ann's face and raised his eyebrows.
Melinda was holding Ann's arm and did not intend to let go of her. Ann could only force a smile and introduced Fred to Melinda.
"Fred, this is..."
"I know. This lady is a well-known singer in the country and Mr. Phillip's mother. I once had the honor to listen to Miss Moore's opera. But I don't know your relationship..."
Ann's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked towards Melinda.
Melinda abandoned her and her father for money and power.
At that moment, Ann was curious how she would define their relationship.
Melinda was still wearing the same smile, looking demure and elegant.
"Ann's father and I are old friends. I watched Ann grow up. I'm glad to see Ann have such an outstanding boyfriend."
As she spoke, she turned to Ann. "I'm sure when your father wakes up and knows that Mr. Anderson is your boyfriend, he will be overjoyed!"
Old friends...
That was a smart answer.
Ann put on a smile sarcastically. Maybe it was a sad smile, too.
Her father once loved Melinda deeply. If he knew this answer, he would feel more hurt.
"Mrs. Moore!"
A sweet voice came from not far away. Ann turned around.
She then saw a sweet girl who dressed nicely walk over. The girl held Melinda's arm naturally. It seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
"Mrs. Moore, long time no see. Are you here for dinner today?"
Melinda turned and saw the girl. The smile on her face became bigger.
"Nadia, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me? Otherwise, I could let Phillip pick you up at the airport!"
Nadia flushed, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Phillip is busy with his work. I don't want to trouble him."
Melinda patted Nadia's hand and said, "You overthink this. You will be Phillip's wife soon. Besides, you are so beautiful. I'm sure Phillip can't wait to see you!"
Nadia's face turned crimson after she heard this. The smile on her face indicated she was in a great mood.
Ann was standing at the side. When Melinda saw Nadia, she let go of Ann immediately, which disappointed Ann to some extent.
When Ann knew Nadia would be Phillip's wife, her face froze.
Daisy once told her that Phillip might choose a marriage alliance. Ann understood that his getting married was a matter of time.
But now, she still felt terrible.
Nadia and Melinda talked for a while. Then Nadia noticed Ann and Fred and was curious about them.
"Mrs. Moore, who are they?"
Melinda saw Ann's stiff face. She pursed her lips, knowing that Ann must be feeling bad at the moment. She hesitated, but in the end, she still introduced them with a smile.
"Nadia, this is Miss Ann. She is the daughter of an old friend. The gentleman beside her is her boyfriend, Mr. Fred."
"Ann, this is Miss Nadia. Her family owns MIYA Group. She is also Phillip's fiancée."
