Upon hearing that, the woman turned to glance at Jonah. “Hm? I could ask the same of you.”
Immediately, Jonah replied, “Oh, I’m here for a family gathering. These are my relatives.”
The woman was hit with a realization. “Oh, so this is the family gathering that you mentioned.”
With a flattering smile on his face, Jonah nodded rapidly. “Tate, Minerva, come greet Miss Gonzalez!”
However, Lucia didn’t even give them much acknowledgement aside from a casual nod. “Hello, nice to meet you.” Then, she ignored them in favor of looking at Leanna, visibly overjoyed. “President Sandel, I heard from the waiters that you have come. This is great! I haven’t been able to meet you even after I dropped by your company a few times. If you have time to spare, can I have ten—no, five minutes will do. I can offer you an explanation regarding what happened last time. It was due to a mistake that my employees made, so it’s a major misunderstanding!”
The Campbells were dumbfounded by what they witnessed. Lucia Gonzalez, the daughter of Jonah’s boss, was being uncharacteristically polite in the presence of Leanna. On the other hand, Leanna wore a frown on her face. “I’m sorry. I’m meeting my friends, so let’s talk about it in my office some other time. I don’t handle business dealings after work.”
Not only did Lucia remain calm, but she was even being apologetic. “Pardon my intrusion. I will drop by your company again in a few days. What would be the opportune time for me to do so?”
Leanna gave it some thought. “How about this, you can look for the manager of the restaurant later and ask her for my secretary’s number. You can make an appointment with my secretary when you want to meet me. It would be more convenient for both of us.”
Jonah was the first to raise a question when Leanna finally left. “Who is she? Why did Miss Gonzalez treat the owner of a restaurant with such respect?”
Upon hearing that, James wore a smug look on his face. “Don’t you know her? She’s Leanna Sandel, the president of Creative Cloud Group who you just mentioned!”
The revelation stunned the Campbells, and for a moment, none of them knew what to say in response.
