"Does Mrs. Grant not know? Mr. Hendrick is very famous and has been developing his business in Whaldorf City. Countless rich and powerful ladies had tried to buy a bowl of his soup. I did not expect that I would be able to drink it today, thanks to President Grant. I did not live for nothing!”
President John looked satisfied.
Before long, the door was pushed open, and the waiter served all the dishes. Unlike the traditional type of banquet, which was mostly seafood and meat, the table was filled full of green food, but the arrangement was very particular. Similar to the garden, each dish looked exquisite in terms of form and color.
At this moment, an elegant voice spoke from outside the door. "Theo, I have been brewing the soup you wanted for four hours. Let Mrs. Grant drink more."
A man walked in from outside. It was the man she had met in the backyard earlier. Behind him were the little girl and a young and beautiful lady. The lady should be his wife.
"You are Mrs. Grant?" He looked surprised.
I smile and nod. 1 "You two have met?" Theo frowned and asked in a
deep voice.
"We bumped into each other in the backyard just now.
I have to thank Mrs. Grant for saving my daughter.” The man smiled calmly and turned to his wife. "The waiter served the wrong dishes. Bring out the soup I made in the pot."
"Is that soup not for pregnant women? So Mrs. Grant i s..." The madam looked at me and suddenly understood.
However, before she could finish her sentence, her husband interrupted her. "I told you to go, so go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you know better, or do I?"
The madam kept quiet, gave me a puzzled look, and turned away.
Theo looked at me with an unreadable expression. I panicked and quickly said, "You have not introduced me to the owner yet."
Theo then turned around and introduced the man to m e. It turned out that this man was Mr. Hendrick whom President John was mentioning. His name was Cain Hendrick, and he was Theo's high school classmate. H e came from a family who studied medicine and was currently developing his business in Whaldorf City.
