I thought she was just going to show her face, but little did I know, she immediately took them into the restaurant and said to the waitress with a face full of smiles, "Add two more sets of tableware, please."
After that, she greeted Theo and Elena with extra enthusiasm and sat down.
The chairs in this restaurant were all short stools. They were very inconvenient for ladies wearing long skirts.
Elena happened to be wearing a long skirt. Shannon saw that the hem of her skirt was touching the floor and said apologetically," I'm really sorry, Ma'am. I forgot you're wearing a long skirt. I’ll ask the waitress to grab you a chair right away.”
She called the waitress after saying that.
The waitress quickly grabbed a chair and brought it over. The table was not very high, so a tall person like Elena would seem out of place sitting on a chair like that. Coupled with the fact that she was dressed beautifully today with her back and shoulders exposed, she seemed particularly striking to others.
After all, this was not a high-end restaurant. Most of the customers were just local tycoons who were not very sophisticated, so they would not shy away from staring at a beautiful lady like Elena. That would inevitably make her uncomfortable.
Sensing her discomfort, I looked at Shannon and said, "Eat up. I'm going back t o the office after this."
It was complete torture to dine in this atmosphere.
Shannon seemed to have turned a deaf ear t o my words and asked Theo, "Mr. Grant, is this beautiful lady your secretary?”
She continued after a pause, "This is my first time meeting such a beautiful woman apart from Wanda."
Was this woman complimenting me or setting me up?
Theo raised his eyes to look at me and said faintly, "She's the head of Grant Corporation’s intelligence team."
A very simple introduction, nothing superfluous.
"Is that so?" Shannon looked at Elena." You're truly capable. With your good looks and capability, I’m sure you have a boyfriend, right?'
