Chapter 297 The Young Girl
The food was served soon. The seven dishes and one soup they ordered, together with the nutritious soup that Wilfred specially asked the chef to boil for the pregnant woman were good in color, flavor, and taste. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Wilfred pointed to the nutritious soup he specially asked the chef to prepare, and said, “Ophelia, this soup is for you. It’s good for the development of the fetus. You should drink more. Your limbs are too thin. If it weren’t for the bulging belly, no one would believe that you are pregnant.”
Wilfred’s voice was as ardent as that of a man who cared about his pregnant wife.
Madeleine and Ophelia felt even weirder.
Madeleine hurriedly interrupted, “Mr. Robinson, you are really a considerate man, but you don’t look like that. Whoever becomes your wife in the future will definitely be very happy. Ophelia, you should drink more. As a friend, you can’t abuse Mr. Robinson’s kindness.”
Ophelia just nodded. Her expression was faint, not too cold, and not too enthusiastic.
During lunch, Madeleine deliberately enlivened the atmosphere, while Mr. Robinson was very talkative. After some time, they ended off the lunch.
When they left the restaurant and got into the car, Wilfred asked, “Ophelia, Madeleine, what do you think about the food in this restaurant?”
Ophelia nodded and said with a smile, “The taste is very authentic. The food is non-greasy, and it is neither bland nor salty. And the soup is very thick and delicious. I have lived here for so many years, but I haven’t even noticed there is such a good restaurant.”
Madeleine couldn’t help boasting, “The food in this restaurant is really delicious. We just had breakfast at half-past ten, so we weren’t hungry. I didn’t expect the food in this restaurant to be so delicious. I
can’t stop eating, and I’m so full now.”
Wilfred smiled and said, “I’m glad you enjoy it. If you come here again, you can report my name, and then you can eat for free.”
Madeleine said, “It’s very nice of you, but we can’t always eat for free.”
Wilfred just laughed loudly.
Back at the company, Wilfred led Ophelia and Madeleine to his office. Then he made a call and said, “Sasha, please let Paul, Liliana, and Eden come in.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Wilfred’s powerful voice rang, “Please come in.”
The door was opened. Then two men and one woman walked in from the outside. The two men who wore short T-shirts were tall, thin, and handsome. They looked thin but still had muscles on their arms. As for the woman, she looked quite tall, at least about 1.68 meters, with a smile on her pretty face. The dimples on both sides of the cheeks were looming because of the smile, giving people the feeling of affinity.
“Hello, Mr. Robinson.” The three greeted him very politely.
Wilfred nodded, then pointed at Ophelia and Madeleine, and said, “These two ladies are the employers today. They are both named Lowe. If they are satisfied with all of you, they will be your employers from now on, so I ask you to come and meet them in advance.”
When the three of them heard this, they got a little surprised. They all knew that Wilfred, as the boss of the company, would not usually receive customers in person, but rather the manager of the company,
unless they were heavyweights. After all, this company was only part of Wilfred’s industry, and he would not starve to death without this company.
Regardless of what the three of them thought, Wilfred continued, “Ophelia, Madeleine, let me introduce them. This is Paul. This is Liliana, and this is Eden.”
Wilfred introduced them to Ophelia and Madeleine from left to right.
Ophelia stretched out her hand and said, “I’m Ophelia. It’s nice to meet you.”
Paul and Eden stretched out their hands at the same time. They felt extremely flattered, after all, Ophelia was such a great beauty, “Miss Ophelia, nice to meet you too.”
But the girl named Liliana looked her up and down with obvious alertness, and said, “Miss Ophelia, may I presume to ask what the relationship is between you and Mr. Robinson? Mr. Robinson hardly receives employers in person unless they are friends who have a close relationship with him or distinguished guests who are either rich or powerful.”
Ophelia could obviously feel the hostility shown by this young girl named Liliana towards her. She could more or less guess what was going on, “I am married, and we are just friends.”
Only then did Liliana notice Ophelia’s bulging belly, and her face was hot. She just put all her attention on Ophelia’s face. She had been working with Wilfred for several years, so she naturally knew what kind of girl Wilfred liked. He liked the woman who looked good and had a sexy body but never dressed in a vulgar way. And Ophelia’s appearance was absolutely in line with his ideal type, so she felt alert in her heart.
But she was relieved when she heard Ophelia say that she was pregnant.
Liliana enthusiastically grasped Ophelia’s hand and said, “So you are Mr. Robinson’s friend. I have rarely seen Mr. Robinson bring female friends to the company before. You must be a very important friend to him.”
Ophelia shook her head secretly. Liliana was surely a young girl who couldn’t hide things. No one could believe that such a beautiful girl would be a bodyguard.
Wilfred coughed heavily and said, “Liliana, don’t be so rude. You should be more stable in the company. If the employers see you like this, who dares to entrust their lives to you?”
