Chapter 213: Visiting Café Nostalgia Again!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Shook Restaurant on the fifth floor of Peace Hotel.
It was a renaissance style restaurant that had existed for more than a hundred years.
In a semi-open booth, Jordan, Victoria, and Audrey were having a feast of oysters, muffins, classic eggs Benedict, and other delectable dishes.
They chatted merrily while enjoying the food.
Victoria was the one who asked Audrey out for a meal today because she wanted to let Audrey meet Jordan more often so that they could have a cordial relationship.
After all, Victoria was now Audrey’s right-hand man, whom the latter trusted greatly. In the office, her status was far superior to the other deputy presidents.
Of course, Audrey was friendly to Victoria because Victoria could potentially be her future sister-in-law.
When Victoria was eating, she received a phone call, so she left the room.
At this moment, Jordan and Audrey could finally whisper some secrets to each other.
“Jordan, how have I been performing recently? I’ve served my future sister-in-law well, haven’t I?” Audrey looked like she was trying to ask for a prize.
Holding his fork and knife, Jordan answered with a smile, “It’s not too bad.”
Audrey rested her chin in her hand and looked at Jordan. “Do you think Grandpa shows favoritism to boys? He sent you to train on the battlefield and become a live-in husband. How exciting and interesting that must be?”
“Look at my sisters and me. All we do is go to school, and after graduating, we have to embark on our business trials. Now, we’re getting urged to get married too. How boring.”
Jordan smiled, knowing that Audrey was an adventurous girl.
“You’ll never know how arduous the battlefield and live-in husband experiences were. Life has been a torment the past few years,” Jordan said with a sigh.
Audrey asked cautiously, “I heard that you were made a cuckold. Is that true?”
Smack!
Jordan slammed his knife and fork on the table immediately. “You’re so rude! Is that how you speak to your brother?”
Audrey chuckled with a hand on her mouth and quickly apologized. She didn’t pity her brother because she knew he had too many women to choose from.
She felt that the woman who betrayed her brother was pitiful because she had lost the opportunity to marry into the top family with the best resources.
“Who told you about this? Was it Butler Frank? Or Grandpa?” Jordan asked.
Audrey took a sip of red wine and said, “It’s Jamie.”
“Jamie? I called him several times, but I couldn’t get through.” Jordan suddenly remembered something, and he asked, “Hey, Audrey, do you know that Jamie has a lover and a daughter living in New York?!”
“Oh my God, are you serious?” Audrey was astonished too.
Jordan nodded. There was no way he could tell outsiders about this, but Audrey was his sister, so there was nothing he couldn’t tell her.
Jordan said, “I went to a cafe previously to collect the keys to a villa that Jamie has left for me. I saw a gorgeous woman there, and I could tell that she was Jamie’s girl. She was as pretty as my ex-wife, Hailey.”
“And the little girl is really pretty too. She must have inherited the excellent genes of the Steele family. I’m certain about that.”
Audrey laughed and exclaimed, “Haha, I’m going back the day after tomorrow. I’m definitely going to tell Grandpa that Jamie has an illegitimate daughter in New York, which he has been keeping a secret. Haha, Grandpa will surely reward me handsomely!”
Jordan suddenly asked in puzzlement, “You’re going back the day after tomorrow?”
Only then did Audrey become serious, and she answered, “Yes, I was about to tell you about it. I’m going to hand over the position of president of Perry Express to Victoria tomorrow.”
Audrey had come to New York City to take on the role of president of Perry Express, only because she had to act as a buffer for Victoria to eventually become the president.
