My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2180

"You mean Leonil Jones?" Freya seemed quite familiar with this person and asked, "Are you planning to get wine from them?"

"That was my initial plan." Anne nodded, but she seemed hesitant. "They were the best out of all the samples I've received."

Freya nodded and said, "It's a legacy brand. You could say they're pretty experienced, but their manager has been messing around lately, spending way too much effort in gaining power. Their reputation is a mess right now, especially from external reviews. Wine is no joke. Even if you blend the wine with just a tiny bit of lower quality wine, people will be able to notice. Picking Foresty Wine may not be the best choice right now. It's much too risky."

"Thanks for informing me about that Aunt Freya. You can rest easy knowing that I have no intention of signing any contracts with them anytime soon. Nothing will go wrong." After saying that with a smile, Anne then shared her doubts about them. "Foresty Wine however, is the top brand in the industry. If they fall victim to fraud, it will be very difficult for the other companies to avoid it too. How about we find out what they're trying to do behind the scenes?"

Freya looked at Anne, surprised at her suggestion then smiled with gratification. She stirred her cup of coffee and said meaningfully, "I knew what I was doing when I said that you're talented. Don't worry, I'll check on that guy as soon as possible. Just concentrate on being your own boss, get your club open as soon as possible, and make even more money for me. Everything will work out well for everyone."

Watching them flatter each other was a little torturous for me. So I knocked on the table and looked serious as I said jokingly, "Sorry to bother both of you bosses, but it's lunchtime, could you two take your minds off work for a while and have a meal with me?"

"Humph, look, your mother's jealous," Freya mumbled.

"Haha, you must be very hungry..."

"I am. I could eat a whole cow!"

Lunch would have been great if only someone from the past hadn't showed up.

After our meal, Freya took out her credit card to pay. Just as she was about to hand her card over to the waiter, a black hand suddenly reached out and blocked her from doing so.

Lucas then appeared from behind the waiter and stood by our table with an attentive look on his face. He said while smiling, "Miss Reid, what a coincidence. It must be fate for us to keep running into each other so often."

I forced out a smile and said, "Hmm, yes, I've heard good reviews about this restaurant. That's why I came to try their food."

Lucas looked at me with a suspicious smile, then looked at Anne. "Hey dear, didn't I tell you before? I'm a good friend of your mother's, so we'll be working together soon enough. Have you changed your mind yet?"

As usual, every word that came out of his mouth sounded full of arrogance and conceit. No one knew where he got his confidence from.

Anne smiled but didn't answer him. She then looked at me and Freya. We understood each other but no one chose to say anything. Some things were better left unsaid.

Lucas didn't feel awkward at all despite being ignored. He lifted his chin and ordered one of his men to check the bill. It seems he's learned a lot about Zuckerberg's dining culture.

Freya wasn't surprised by this and accepted his generosity graciously. She took her bag and made to leave. "Thank you. When you pay us a visit at the Golden Roof Restaurant, mention my name, they'll give you a discount."

"How much are we talking about?" Lucas' attention was suddenly drawn towards Freya. He spoke in his very awkward accent. "Hello there, pretty lady. Are you Miss Reid's friend?"
