Chapter 471
While eating, Lucas hummed lazily. It seemed like he responded to him, but at the same time, he did not. He was very polite the whole time, but he also seemed cool and distant.
While Lucas was having lunch, he received a call, so he got up and headed out.
Seeing Lucas leave, Rosie got a little worried. Lucas finally had a few bites, but he left the office again. Was it because the food she made was not to Lucas’s taste?
Anya could tell that her best friend was feeling uneasy. Being considerate, she patted Rosie’s hand and comforted her, “Rosie, my brother’s like this. He often neglects his sleep and skips meals for work. Don’t
overthink it.”
Rosie nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
Anya suddenly thought of something and said, “Rosie, my aunt’s birthday party is tomorrow. Have your prepared a dress for the party?”
Rosie was dazed. She already forgot about it if Anya did not mention it. “Anya, I remember your aunt, Missus Benet, has a rule that everybody has to bring a partner to her birthday party, is that right? I wonder if Lucas has found a girl to attend the party with him this year.”
Anya understood what her best friend meant. “Don’t worry, Rosie. I’m here. You have always been his partner all these years, so there would be no exception this year either!”
Rosie was so touched, she smiled. “Thank you for knowing me so well, Anya.”
Anya said, “But you just came out of prison, so you probably haven’t had the time to buy a new dress, am I right? Do you want me to go shopping with you now? Let’s buy you a beautiful dress, then you can make my brother stun and fall for you when you wear it tomorrow!”
Anya felt troubled. “But Joey’s asleep and my brother went out. Also, my brother doesn’t know how to take care of a child!”
Corinne did not stop working at all, and she did not yield when Anya asked her nicely for a favor. She smiled and said, “I’ve never given birth before, if Mister Lucasn’t know how to look after a child, I’m
worse. Also, I have a lot of work on my plate that’s not finished yet, and I don’t have the time. I’m sorry but my hands are tied.”
“Alright. Forget it.” Anya lowered her head bitterly, then she sighed helplessly. With regret, she turned to Rosie and said, “Rosie, it looks like I can’t pick out a dress with you anymore. How about you ask other friends to go with you?”
“What do you mean by forget it? Rosie simply could not stand how arrogant Corinne looked. “Anya. Corinne is your family’s employee now. Who is she to refuse following your order?”
