Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 68

She insisted on getting off at the intersection which was not far from the company.

Getting off the car, she carried her bag and jogged to the office.

She was in a hurry and finally made it.

However, she found out that she was the last one to arrive.

With a bit of guilt, she returned to her seat and calmed her breathing, which had become faster after she ran. Then, she started to look through the information.

After two hours, she stood up, stretched her muscles and took her water cup to the teahouse to get some water.

Inside, the voices of several women were heard.

"One hundred percent."

"I don't know."

"Didn't you see the clothes she was wearing? That's the most popular new model of Chanel. It was released a week ago, 10000 dollars. I'm a fan of this brand, I can distinguish the false product from the good ones. That's 100% genuine."

"That's right, how could a recently graduated university student afford Chanel? That seems to be right, she is the lover of Tom."

"That's right. Look at her face. She looks like a beauty that will bring disaster upon her family."

She pushed the door open and walked in.

They immediately stopped when they saw her.

She politely smiled at them, took the water, and left the teahouse.

Back in her seat, her cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was Nick Anderson, she immediately turned off her phone and did not pick up.

At noon, when it was time to get off work, everyone began to leave.

Amy, who was also an intern walked over.

"Laura, do you want to come to the cafeteria to eat with me?"

She closed the document. "Alright."

The two of them went downstairs to the cafeteria and she ordered a lunch box.

While waiting for their food, her cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was William's call, she said to Amy: "I'm going to pick up a call."

She took her cell phone to the side and picked it up. She said in a low voice, "Hello."

"When are you off duty?"

"I've already gotten off work and am reporting to your company's canteen for lunch."

"What about my lunch?"

"I didn't have time to do it this morning. Didn't you know all about it?"

"So, you're saying that you don't care about me?"

She pursed her lips. "I didn't cook, so how could I care about you?"

"I'll get my secretary to prepare it. Come up and accompany me to eat, it's boring to eat alone."

"But I came to the restaurant with my colleagues. I've already ordered the noodles, so it's not good for me to leave now."

As soon as she finished speaking, her food was ready.

She hurriedly said, "That's it, I'm going to pick up my food." William Walton was unhappy, but he could not act as though he was in a rush.

Laura brought the food back and sat down.

Amy laughed: This is the first time I've seen a rich person eat lunch box, I thought you guys wouldn't eat these, when I went downstairs to find you to eat, I was a little worried that you would reject me, I didn't think that you would be so easy to get along with.

"Rich people? Are you talking about me?"

"Yep."

She smiled but in a speechless manner, "I'm not a rich person. I'm just short of money."

"You are kidding."

She wondered, "I'm not joking. I'm poor. How could you have such a misunderstanding?"

"A poor person can't afford a piece of Chanel."

"Which brother?" She was even more confused. William Walton took her home yesterday, not her brother.

Thinking about there were so many siblings in the Walton family, she said: "The owner of the pen, the famous figure in Philadelphia, William Walton."

"Tsk, that ... Judy..."

"Alright, stop hiding it, I saw him yesterday, he was the one who came to the restaurant to pick you up. I didn't expect that you would be the invisible little princess. Your brother is way too spoilt, isn't he? "

"He spoils me?"

"Yeah, damn it, I feel embarrassed just thinking about it. Do you remember when you were drunk and insisted on taking the crystal pendant from the chandelier in the bar?"

She blushed and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes."

"And the result?"

In the end, your brother didn't say anything further. He took out his bank card and threw it to the waiter before jumping onto the chair. Then, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a crystal ball for you, saying that it was a present for you.

"Burp."

Thinking of the crystal ball she saw in his house this morning, she put her hand to her lips, placed the cup on the table, squatted down, and covered her face with hands.

Damn, this was so embarrassing.

How would she face William Walton in the future?

Ah, what could she do?

She wanted to die.

Someone pushed the door open and entered. Seeing her squatting there tenderly and dispiritedly, the other person shot her a sideways glance before she went off to make coffee.

She stood up and said to Judy Allen: "Judy, I still have some things to do here, I got to go. I'll see you later."

Hanging up, she picked up her cup and was about to leave.

At this moment, the employee who just came in also turned around.

Before the two of them even met, the employee poured a cup of freshly brewed coffee onto her body.
