When Wilfred Robinson entered the restaurant, the hostess who had been waiting there for a long time came up, bowed ninety degrees, and said, “Hello, Mr. Robinson. This way, please. The box you want is ready, and we also have asked the chef to make the nutritious soup specially prepared for pregnant women.”
Wilfred nodded.
Following the hostess into the box, Wilfred asked, “Excuse me, where’s your boss?”
“Our boss went to Shanghai yesterday and may not be back until two or three days later. If you have something urgent, you can give him a call,” the hostess said decently.
Wilfred nodded.
Wilfred opened the menu and said, “Ophelia, Madeleine, order whatever you like. Make yourselves at home. It’s for free.”
Madeleine was also blunt and ordered three dishes at one go, while Ophelia just ordered the one she liked. It was a waste to order too much food anyway. Besides, they just finished breakfast and were not particularly hungry. They couldn’t eat much.
Wilfred just ordered two dishes. Then he handed the menu over to the hostess and said, “Excuse me, could you please ask the chef to make the nutritious meal faster?”
“Yes, Mr. Robinson. Please wait a moment. Your food will be served soon.” After saying that, the hostess went out with the menu.
Wilfred gave Ophelia a look without a trace before he got back to the point, “Ophelia, who needs a bodyguard? You or Madeleine?”
“It’s me. I came up with this idea on the spur of the moment,” Ophelia said in a somewhat distant yet decent manner. She was instinctively defensive about people she didn’t know, so she looked like a cool beauty. But if one got acquainted with her, he would find that she was really a sentimental and lovely person.
Wilfred was engaged in the security business. He looked rough, but in fact, he was very considerate. Therefore, he could still feel Ophelia’s deliberate estrangement.
“Ophelia, the family condition of your husband should be good, right?” Wilfred put away his feelings of adoration and behaved decently. They didn’t know each other very well, plus Ophelia was already married. If he made a great show of affection, he was afraid that they could not even be friends.
Ophelia smiled and said, “It’s not bad. We live comfortably.”
Wilfred nodded and said, “I’ll pick three bodyguards according to your situation, and I’ll show you. If you are satisfied, we can sign a contract.”
Madeleine’s fingers regularly tapped on the table, and she said, “Mr. Robinson, it hurts feelings when it comes to money. But it indeed damn hurts feelings, when it does not come to money. How much do you charge for a bodyguard? I tell you in advance that we will pay as much as the usual guests. If you are not sincere, we will not hire your bodyguards anymore.
Wilfred laughed, “Madeleine, seriously, I rarely see women like you. Others who make friends with me are more or less trying to get some benefits from me, but you insist on paying the net price. You are my true friend. Don’t worry. I will give you a reasonable price.”
Madeleine raised the glass and said, “Mr. Robinson, I’d like to thank you on behalf of Ophelia.”
Wilfred looked at Ophelia, who also raised her glass, and said, “Mr. Robinson, thank you, just toast with water.”
Then the three of them drank the glass of water in one gulp.
