Chapter 88
At the end of the meeting, I wanted to leave.
“Miss Trista is really young and talent. We really admire you!” Several directors gathered around to butter me up.
“He has the working style of the old chairman. She is worthy of being his favorite granddaughter. I think the old chairman will be happy !”
“Miss Trista is quick and determined, and she looks like Mr. Donald…”
I smiled faintly, “let us get back to work. Do not waste any time. I will take time every day to check on the work. I hope you work hard.”
I gave everyone a positive look and turned away.
After leaving the moon group, I took out my cell phone and told Donald that I was safe
“I am going back to the lion group now.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
” your voice sounds weak? Did the board meeting go well this morning?” Donald’s voice came.
“Well, I think it’s still a long way off, so I am concerned.”
From now on, I will rely on my own efforts to support the whole group.
? If you kiss me on the phone, I can consider helping you next.”
I was amused by him. “Who wants you to help?”
“If you reward me every night when you get home, I can give you advice every day. How about this idea?”
“Surely, he is a businessman. With him, interests always come first!” My smile was still hanging on my face. My cell phone suddenly vibrated twice. I picked it up and looked, “Donald, I have a phone. Hang up first.”
“OK, do you want me to send a car to pick you up?”
“No, I’ll see you later.” As I hung up, I quickly kissed my cell phone,
“Hello.” After hanging up, I switched to another strange number.
A sweet female voice answered the phone, “Is this Miss Trista? I’d like to meet with you. I am going to make an appointment on Forest Street. I’ll be waiting for you in ten minutes at the Italian restaurant No. 180.”
“Hello? Hello?” I am confused as to who this is and what I am looking for right now.
Ten minutes later, I have arrived at 180 Waldstrasse. As I look east to west, a black Rolls Royce pulls up in front .
The window went down revealing a young face, and short hair, about 17 or 18 years old. I smiled a little pale but with the air of youth, “Miss Trista, hello, my name is Lucy. I am sure you are curious what I am looking for you. It’s a long story. Let us go inside and eat and talk.”
“…”
Lucy stepped off the car. The school uniform skirt she wore blew lightly in the breeze and smelled delightfully of youth. “Miss Trista, let us go.”
She took my hand cordially and greeted me as she entered the store. “Boss, two bowls of spaghetti!”
“Good!”
“Miss Trista, sit down.” No sooner had she spoken than someone pulled out a paper towel to wipe down the chair for me and then for her.
“all of you can go. I have something to say to Miss Trista.” Lucy dismissed the servants and looked at me with a smile. “This family’s spaghetti is the best on Forest Street. I used to come here to eat. My parents always said the food here was unsanitary. Every time I came here, I did not tell them.”
“I I have to get back to work.” Although I do not want to interrupt her fun, I have not returned to the lion group in a long time. Donald will send someone out to find me. I do not want to excite the public.
“Girls, here comes your pasta!”
The boss brought two bowls of spaghetti. Lucy smiled weakly, “Miss Trista, eat first.”
She gulped and ate. Seriously, the smell of the precious noble lady on her body was not compatible with the store. Given the surroundings and sanitation, even flies flew around, but the little girl did not mind. She lowered her head and ate the pasta in the bowl as if it were the best delicacy in the world.
I was amazed when I saw the necklace sticking out of her neck.
“Miss Trista, why are not you eating?” Lucy noticed my look and followed it. “Oh, I got this necklace from Paddy.”
“Paddy?” I suddenly realized, “So you know Paddy?”
“Hmm! Does not Miss Trista think this necklacelook familiar to you? When you went abroad three years ago, Paddy wanted to give you this necklace, but you lost it at a glance and never looked back, but Paddy was very angry.”
“Really, Paddy told you that?”
“I was hiding and watching. I picked up the necklace.” Lucy stroked the necklace around her neck, “but neither you nor Paddy seem to remember it.”
“So you are… Like Paddy?” I hesitated for a few seconds and finally asked this sentence.
She did not answer, but her eyes showed a hurt look: “Eat, Miss Trista, it will get cold if you do not eat .”
I lowered my head and tasted. To be honest, “it’s not very tasty.”
“Maybe it’s because Paddy brought me here for the first and last time, I think it’s the best food in the world!” She laughed, her eyes bent like the moon.
“Will Paddy take you to a place like this?” This does not look like his style. It’s not his style to spend money without driving in and out of the high-end club in a sports car!
“Paddy never takes me to a higher-end place. I am content to be here.” Lucy laughed again. She did not know why. There was an inexplicable sadness in her eyes.
“If you are just inviting me over today to tell me about Paddy, you do not have to worry. I am not going to rob him from you. I am not interested in him from start to finish.” I said it directly.
But she smiled, “I know.”
“Miss, your time is up. If you do not go back, the mastershould be worried.” Someone came in and warned her.
“You say I will go over my lessons outside with my classmates, go back later and finish the noodles later. I will go outside with Miss Trista. Go and send this picture to my parents so they can be reassured.” Lucy turns on her cell phone. There’s a picture of her discussing the lesson with her classmates.
I am curious, “How do you usually cheat on your parents?”
“They are too strict. I do not want to cheat on them unless I have to.” She looked at her watch. “Miss Trista, let us go there. I promise it will not take you too long.”
She took my hand and drove off without the driver following. I do not know how long I walked. I noticed that it was a bit desolate nearby. A white house stood in the woods looking strange.
“Where do you want to take me?”
“This is a private clinic.” Unable to hide it, Lucy stood in front of the door and said with a little guilt, “My parents did not know I was pregnant. I wanted to abort it, but I was afraid to be alone… I did not have a childhood friend, and Paddy ignored me. I always admired Miss Trista. If Miss Trista could accompany me to finish the operation, I think I have no regrets.”
“Wait…” I can not respond. “You mean you have a little life in your belly? How old are you? Whose child is it? Should not it be… Paddy?”
“Yes.” She did not deny it and nodded weakly.
“That bastard!” I did not expect him to be so hateful that eveen make a 17-year-old girl pregnant!
“Miss Trista, do not blame Paddy. I volunteered for this. I am content to have Paddy for one night.” Lucy touched the child in her belly, “even though it makes me a little reluctant, there is no other option. I’ll be studying abroad in a few weeks. I may never see Paddy again from then on.”
“Why are you so stupid?” I looked at her painfully. “Since Paddy did this, you should ask him about his responsibility! Does he know about this child? Maybe he wants you to be born?”
“Paddy said the night of the relationship that he would not allow me to have a child. If I was pregnant, he wanted me to give it up.”
What? How dare that bastard say something worse than that beast? Damn it!
