When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Judy Allen ordered many dishes.
Actually, Laura didn't have any appetite.
But she didn't want Judy Allen to know that something was amiss, so she ate a lot although she didn't want to eat.
Judy Allen looked at her with smile: "Are they delicious?"
Laura nodded. "It's especially good. It suits my taste perfectly."
Seeing that she was eating so happily, Judy Allen said, "I knew you would like it. We have the same taste. Hey, did you know? When you called me this morning, I was so happy that I almost flew up. Recently, I was really depressed at home."
"Didn't you work for the company? What's there to be depressed about?"
"I'm not really working. That's a title. If I really do something, my dad will start nagging me, saying that what I did was not good, what I did was wrong, like I'm trash and I can't do anything properly."
"You're thinking too much. Your father wants to hone you. Don't be as sloppy as before and learn how to manage the company. After all, you have no siblings, so your family's company will have to rely on you to manage it in the future."
"Damn it, girl, now that you're a teacher, your tone is naturally old-fashioned, and your words are the same as my father's. I feel that if you were to be my father's daughter, my father would definitely be very pleased."
Laura smiled and continued to eat.
"Hey, how about stay here and don't go back? What's the point of staying in that crappy school? Just come to work at my company."
She shook her head. "I won't consider your company, but I am indeed considering leaving Philadelphia and finding a remote city to go to junior high school. If things don't go well, I will go to the mountains to teach."
"Damn, what happened? Did that Avery Harris push you around? I knew it wouldn't be a good thing for him to go to school to work, right? Hey, do you know, I heard from my friend that Elsie Clark went to find him several times, but Avery Harris didn't see her at all. At that time, I thought that he was planning to reform, but who would have thought that he would actually go to school and torture you. "
She shook her head and replied, "It's nothing to do with Avery Harris. I just want to change the environment and start over."
"Then you should resign, but don't go somewhere too far from here. I'll miss you. In the future, I'll have someone help you take a look at Vancouver to see if there is a suitable school. Teaching in our city won't put too much pressure on you."
She smiled, "We'll see. Anyway, I should wait to next year."
After Judy Allen finished speaking, she hesitated: "But, if you were to come to Vancouver, I'm afraid your brother wouldn't agree, after all, your family has power and influence, will they allow their princess to leave the clan?"
When she mentioned that 'big brother', she felt a sense of suppression in her heart.
"Judy. Actually, he's not my ..."
"Hi, do you mind if I sit with you?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side, Laura was astonished, and Judy Allen, who was at the side, felt as if she had seen a ghost.
"Mr. ...Mr. Walton." She covered her mouth with her hand and patted the table in surprise. She pointed to the Laura on the other side, as if she was a crazy fan of him.
William Walton raised his eyebrows. This was the reaction a girl should have when she saw him.
On the other hand, she was filled with a calm feeling despite being shocked.
Tsk, this sense of defeat ...
She stood up and looked at him with a stiff expression and a cold tone, "How did you find me here?"
"This is not a mouse hole, it's not that hard to find."
William Walton gently pushed her to the seat inside, and then sat down at the spot where she had just sat.
Judy Allen turned around and waved her hand, asking the waiter to add another set of tableware.
William Walton looked at her: "What are you standing there for, sit down."
As she sat down, the depression on her face was very obvious.
Once William Walton arrived, Judy Allen's entire being looked more like a lady when she started to eat.
"Mr. Walton, your arrival made this restaurant splendent."
William Walton looked around the restaurant and laughed: "You are exaggerating."
"Really, in our Vancouver, I can't find a man as stylish as you."
She turned to Judy Allen and smiled, "Alright, then I'll go and stay at the hotel tonight. We'll meet again tomorrow."
Although Judy Allen felt a little disappointed, she couldn't refute her. After all, they were brother and sister, so it was normal for brother to worry about his sister staying in another's home.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow I'll take you to eat buffet," she said with a wry smile.
Laura nodded.
William Walton asked: "Did you bring your luggage?"
Judy Allen immediately opened the trunk, "I brought it with me, it's in my car."
William Walton went forward and took her luggage out and immediately threw it onto his carriage.
After they farewell to Judy Allen they got on the car and left.
Judy Allen sighed, and muttered: "Good older brothers really are from other families, the god owe me such a good older brother."
On the way, she remained silent.
William Walton did not speak either.
When he arrived at the hotel, William Walton only got one room.
He checked in and was about to go upstairs.
After hesitating for a moment, Laura took out her ID and handed it to the receptionist: "Please give me a room. The cheapest room you have."
It's so expensive here. She really can't afford to stay here.
William Walton took two steps, turned his head and grabbed her identity card, shot her a glance, and then pulled her luggage and left.
After a moment's hesitation, she sighed and followed him upstairs.
She knew he was angry.
