There was only a Western restaurant nearby. However, since the environment was good and they had private rooms, we chose it without walking any farther.
After entering the private room, Harriet calmly sat next to Theo directly. I noticed this and sat down on Theo’s other side. She grabbed the menu and smiled. "Has your taste changed?"
"It's as usual," Theo responded indifferently, and I was quite satisfied with it.
His answer, however, led Harriet to cover her mouth and chuckle. "I figured. For a monotonous person like you, your taste must be the same as before."
I looked at Harriet. Although there was a smile on her face, she was quite dissatisfied deep down. "You seem to know my husband very well, Miss Osborn. As far as I remember, you seem to have only worked with him once.”
Harriet did not look at me but looked at Theo. She blinked her big eyes. "Why, didn’t President Grant tell President Lane that we used to be college classmates?"
College classmates?
They were alumni?
Shannon and I were taken aback for a moment. I had never heard Theo mention it and felt some mixed emotions in my heart. I thought it was a coincidental meeting. I never thought they would be former classmates. What a flub.
"We often partnered up at the time and served as hosts for many school events. Looking back at it now, things were quite interesting." Harriet was talking about things I had never heard before.
I did not expect Theo to be a host with such an aloof appearance. The two of them must have been famous figures in school back then.
After letting out a heavy exhale, my mood improved a little.
However, perhaps I was too loud as they all heard it and looked at me one after another. Harriet smiled at me. "I suppose you might feel uncomfortable by all these things I’m talking about. I apologize. I didn't realize it before. It was only when I met Theo again that I remembered all those things in school, so I got a little emotional."
This woman had too much emotion.
