Chapter 707: 228: A slap in the face, the pampered little princess_6
After all, she was the one who asked Jason to treat her to dinner.
When would Jason ever sincerely invite her to eat?
It seed like she was the one inviting Jason out every ti.
But Jason had never taken the initiative to invite her.
Although they grew up together and were close as kids…
Now things had changed, and the affection and understanding they once shared were gone.
In TV dramas, childhood sweethearts would eventually live happily ever after, so why couldn’t she and Jason achieve that?
Scarlett felt miserable, but at this mont, she still forced a smile, trying not to let Jason see her true feelings.
On the other side,
After finishing her drink, Viola Thompson went to pay at the cashier, only to be told that Mr. Lu had already paid their bill.
Mr. Lu?
Viola raised an eyebrow slightly. Could it be Jason?
“Is it Mr. Jason Lu?” Viola asked.
Hearing this, the cashier was startled.
Everyone knew that Jason was the Governor of Capital City, so people respectfully addressed him as Mr. Lu or Governor Lu.
Viola was the first person to openly call him by his first na.
Especially since…
Jason was standing right behind Viola.
Seeing the cashier not responding, Viola asked again, “Is it Jason?”
After all, she used to be at the top of the pyramid herself, so calling Jason’s na ca naturally to her, just like casually addressing her subordinates.
The cashier glanced helplessly at Jason behind Viola.
“It’s .”
At that mont, Jason’s voice rang through the air.
Viola looked back slightly and saw the man standing behind her.
Dressed in a suit and leather shoes,
He stood under the crystal chandelier, smiling.
He then spoke, “Miss Thompson, consider this dinner as my gratitude.”
“You are too polite, Mr. Lu,” replied Viola.
“It’s only right,” he said.
After all, what he owed Viola was far more than just a al.
At that mont, Scarlett ca over from the other side.
“Yan-ge,” she walked up to Jason’s side.
Standing next to Jason, 168cm tall Scarlett looked strikingly beautiful.
But at this mont,
Scarlett regretted not wearing her high heels.
Because standing in front of this girl, she obviously seed much shorter.
Being 168cm tall in the company of other females, Scarlett was not considered short.
However, compared to 175cm tall Viola, she was still a bit shorter.
Although she couldn’t compete with Viola in height, Scarlett sought validation in other areas and said, “Yan-ge, won’t you introduce us?”
Jason replied, “This is Miss Thompson.”
He then looked at Viola, “This is my friend Scarlett.”
Miss Thompson?
Hearing this, Scarlett squinted her eyes, wondering if this was the biological daughter that the Thompson Clan had recently found and brought back from the outside?
After all, in Capital City, no one else would be called ‘Miss Thompson’ by Jason.
Scarlett always thought the rumors about Miss Thompson’s appearance were exaggerated, but unexpectedly, she was indeed as good-looking as they said.
Did she get plastic surgery?
With the Thompson Clan’s power in Capital City, it wouldn’t be surprising if they actually arranged for it.
Scarlett was only stunned for a mont before smiling, “Hello, Miss Thompson, I’m Scarlett. Jason and I grew up together.”
She was implying to Viola that she and Jason were ant to be, that they were childhood sweethearts.
Viola wasn’t interested in any of this and reached out to shake Scarlett’s hand, “Hello, I’m Viola.”
Four plain words.
After speaking, Viola looked at Jason, “Thank you, Mr. Lu, for the treat. My friends are waiting for . I’ll go over first.”
“Alright,” Jason nodded slightly.
Viola greeted Scarlett once more before turning and walking away.
Watching Viola leave, Scarlett squinted her eyes and then turned to Jason, “Let’s go too.”
Jason followed Scarlett’s footsteps,
But as they reached the exit, he looked back inside one last ti.
Viola and her friends were also walking out,
A group of young girls, brimming with youthful energy.
Jason and Scarlett were outside the entrance,
Scarlett looked at Jason and said, “I won’t call a cab. Would it be too much trouble for Director Kelloway to give a lift to my office?”
Jason checked his watch and saw that they still had ti, so he nodded.
Scarlett got into the passenger seat of Jason’s car and, looking in the rearview mirror, saw Viola and her friends,
Including the large dog walking beside Viola.
For a mont, she turned to look at Jason, “Yan-ge, do you think Miss Thompson is very pretty?”
“Yeah,” Jason’s face showed no expression.
