Chapter 387

I pursed my lips and joked, "Luckily, my husband isn't here. Otherwise, he'd get jealous afterhearing you say that.”

Everyone roared with laughter.

I did not notice Matthew's expression turning bad. I lifted my hands to take the liquor bottle to poursome into our glasses. He grabbed my hand. "You're not allowed to drink anymore."

I withdrew my hand back in a hurry when he touched i t. "It's alright. I didn’t drink much."

"It's still a no." Matthew insisted.

I could feel that he was doing it on purpose. I was starting to get angry. However, I could not let itout in front of so many people. I put the liquor bottle back down with a gloomy face.

The people here were all experienced. How could they possibly not realize what was going on? Theatmosphere turned awkward at once.

My chest started to feel stuffy. I made up an excuse to go to the washroom.

Theo called me at this moment. I picked it up and said calmly, "I'm having business lunch outsidenow."

"Where?”

I leaned on the wall and spoke lazily, "Moonlight Restaurant.

How hardworking of him to check in on me.

Theo did not ask anything more. I hung up the phone and washed my face. I was planning to hurryback. After all, it would be rude if I left the table for a long time.

When I was about to reach the private dining room, I noticed a familiar figure.

The woman felt my gaze, and she turned around.

It was Heidi. I was slightly surprised.

She was wearing the waitress uniform of Moonlight Restaurant. I could not help but frown. Why wasshe working here?

I waited for her to walk toward me. Then, I asked." Why are you...?"

"I had no choice." Heidi smiled helplessly. "This is my karma."

"What do you mean?" I did not understand a word.

Heidi gave a light sigh. "You were kicked out of Grant Corporation because of me. This is thepunishment that President Grant gave me. He blacklisted me from every other company, so I couldonly apply to be a waitress here.”

I remembered everything she did back then. Still, considering that she had worked with me for solong, I did not want to see her in this state because of me.

I truly did not expect that Theo would punish her behind my back!

"I didn’t know about this." I pursed my lips. "I'll give him a call after my business lunch ends. Youmay change your job tomorrow. It's a shame for you to work here as a waitress with how capableyou are."

Heidi nodded her head. "Thank you so much, President Lane."

I did not say anything more. I turned around and planned to go back.

However, Heidi suddenly stopped me. With a thud, she knelt on the floor. "President Lane, I'velearned my lesson. I betrayed your trust in me, and I'm very sorry."

"What are you doing? Come on, get up." I felt helpless a t that moment. "It's been so long, I don'tblame you anymore."

Heidi refused to stand up. She was crying badly." President Lane, I hope you'll help me. I can't livelike this anymore."
