"What does everyone want for lunch?" Sofia changed the topic and waved to the waiter.
After the waiter brought the menu, Sofia considerately handed it to Shirley.
She subconsciously wanted to give it to Skyler at first, but she handed it to Shirley instead when an idea came to her. "Shirley, take a look and see what you want to eat."
"I'm fine with anything," Shirley said.
"Alright then..." Sofia didn't say much and ordered some Western food.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious when the four of them sat together, eating and chatting.
While the three of them felt relaxed, Shirley was uneasy, like she was on a battlefield. Although nothing was wrong, she always felt like she was in a war zone.
For her, having this meal felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
It wasn't until the end of lunch that Shirley finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Garrick. "President Brennan, Miss Green, I'm afraid I can't keep you company anymore. I have to go to the hospital."
She had ordered a meal on her phone and would pick it up later to bring to Wade's mother at the hospital.
Skyler's handsome face turned frigid at those words, and his expression became somewhat twisted.
"Oh, go ahead. Gary and I have something to do, so we should leave too," Sofia replied.
"Are you going to Big Heart Hospital?"
Skyler deliberately asked.
Shirley nodded. "Yes."
"Since you're going there, give me a ride. I have something to discuss with the hospital director," Skyler instructed.
"Skye, since Shirley has something to do at the hospital, I'll give you a ride instead." Sofia didn't want to give them a chance to be alone together.
When they came over earlier, it was Sofia who drove Skyler, so it was understandable that he wanted to hitch a ride.
