Meanwhile, Claire was preparing to eat lunch at the company.
As there were a lot of official duties and business at the company, Claire would usually not bother to go home to eat at noon. Instead, she would eat takeouts at the company because this would save her more than an hour.
She was just about to pick up her cell phone and order food when she received a phone call from Kathleen.
So, Claire picked up the phone and smiled a s she said, "Miss Jane, what are your instructions for me?"
Kathleen said, “Claire, didn’t I tell you long ago not to call me Miss Jane? You can just call me Kylie."
Claire laughed and said, "You're my friend when it's not working hours, but you're my client when it comes to work and so, I must be polite to you."
Kathleen laughed helplessly and said, "It's already noon. Is it still working hours? Don't you have lunch breaks at your company?"
Claire explained, "Other employees have lunch breaks, and our lunch break is for one and a half hours. However, for me, aside from the time that I'm eating, the rest of the time is my working hours."
Kathleen could not help but laugh as she said, "Madam Wilson, in that case, I will have to take up your lunchtime as party A, then."
Claire laughed and said, “No problem. Party A, I wonder what are your instructions for
me?"
Kathleen said, "We will not be able to continue staying at Shangri-La from today onward, so Kelly and I are going to change over to Aurous International Hotel now. We're preparing to go there now, and that's why we are calling to ask if you've already eaten. If not, we can eat together at Aurous International Hotel."
"No problem." Claire did not hesitate to say, "Aurous International Hotel is not too far from me, and I should be able to arrive faster than you guys coming over from Shangri-La. Why don't we do this? I will go over and book a private room now, and I will be the host for noon today. You guys are not allowed to fight over the bill with m e.”
