The Unexpected Marriage novel Chapter 27

"Linda! What's wrong with you? "

She felt warm in her heart when she saw her best friend. She roughly told her the story, and said dejectedly, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I screwed it up. They looked down upon me."

Joan could tolerate it when she got wronged. But when she saw her friend being wronged, she was boiling with rage. She wanted to say something. Suddenly, she found the crowd quiet.

"What are you quarreling for?" He put his hands on her shoulders and asked, "Joan, what happened?"

"Darren, this is my friend. Do you remember the last time I replaced her to interview you?"

He did have some impression with short hair and a fat face. "Of course."

"She is my best friend. She got me a big bonus because of an interview. And she wanted to buy me a silk scarf." Looking at the saleslady who was almost crawling over the floor, Joan continued, "But this lady seems to look down upon people."

Darren smiled, picked up two of the most expensive silk scarfs, and walked past the clerk to the cashier counter.

"Both."

She stood on the stage with his elbow as he spoke in a condescending manner.

He gave one box to Joan and the other to Linda. With a warm smile, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

The phone was connected very quickly, without a minute's delay. The voice on the other end of the phone was respectful, as if she was bowing and pleasing him across the phone.

"Mr. Li, you're doing a good job." With one hand, he gently opened and closed the silk scarf box, and with the other hand clicking at the back of the phone case.

"Thanks to you. I leave the VIP gold card for the next season of the mall with the number ranked first. We... " Before he could finish his sentence, Darren interrupted her ruthlessly.

The girl broke out into a sweat. The beads of white powder curled up on her cheeks. "Mr. Li, you're becoming more and more smart. Even the salesperson you hired are all cleverer than you are. We can't afford to offend them."

As soon as Mr. Lu said it, Mr. Li understood. He said, "I know what you mean. Just tell me which shop assistant you met and I will teach her a lesson. I will pay all the things you bought here today with my account. Don't get angry with me."

He didn't want to waste more time, so he gave the phone to that girl. It seemed to be a lightning to her. The woman pleaded in a tearful voice after she hung up the phone.

For her, what she lost was not only a job, but also an opportunity to find a job.

Even though Linda didn't intend to forgive her, her heart was softened by this. "Mr. Lu, give her a break." The plain expression on Joan's face made Darren's heart skip a beat. He didn't know since when he cared about her feelings very much.

"Forget it." Joan reached out and held Linda in her arms. "You can leave now. But remember, don't act like a snob."

The crowd had almost dispersed. Joan grabbed Linda's hand and said, "Let's go eat."

Looking into his half smiling eyes, Linda stuck out her tongue and grabbed Joan by the arm.

"Mr. Lu, could I borrow your Joan? I'll return her to you in ten minutes."

Darren nodded and said, "Then I'll wait you in the car outside."

She grabbed Joan's hand and pressed her against the chair as she said, "Okay. I wondered why I haven't heard anything from you after your father's death. It turns out you are with Mr. Lu." She held her head high and said, "I will see what that scumbag will do to hurt you this time. He is really out of league as compared with Mr. Lu."

She reached to cover Linda's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Darren and I are not what you think. I am just an excuse for him to stay away from others."

There was a tacit understanding between them at the beginning. They had their own freedom. In the eyes of outsiders, they were a great couple, but only they knew that it was not like this.

Waving her hand, Linda said, "It's a lie. Only a fool like you would believe it. I want to ask you who he is. If he wants a nominal girlfriend, he can ask anyone he wants. I'm afraid that the line could be ridiculously long. Why did he choose you?"

Tabitha was too shocked to respond. "Since he chose you, he must admit that you are different in his heart. At least, he thinks you are more attractive than other women," Linda said.

Now that he brought her here, showed up in public and helped her out several times, and cared about her so much, she was sure that he loved her.

On their way to the venue, Joan didn't feel relieved. It seemed to her that Darren was interested in her?

The driver opened the door of the restaurant for them.
