"Alright. Let's eat.” Charity changed the topic. "I heard the dishes here are good."
"Fine. If we continue the conversation, Charity will be embarrassed," Catherine mocked.
"Charity, you’re an actor, yet you get embarrassed so easily."
The three of them chatted and joked. It had been a long time since they had such a good time.
In fact, Charity's death had always hit a nerve in Catherine and Freya. Every time they recalled those memories, they would feel very helpless.
"To celebrate the fact that Charity is still alive, let’s go for karaoke later.” Freya said while beaming, "It'll be my treat.' "Please don’t. Both of you need to go home and spend time with your children." Charity did not want to be a thorn in Shaun's and Ryan's sides.
"Charity, we want to keep you company." Catherine said while holding a wine glass," You've been lonely for a long time."
That simple sentence made the usually tough Charity almost tear up.
After they finished their meals, they walked out of the private room with their hands held together.
There were rows of red lights in the long corridor outside.
At that moment, a few men walked out from the side. The man in the middle was wearing a pair of beige casual pants and a black Polo shirt. He had a handsome face and looked like a playboy.
When Charity saw him, she raised her brows calmly before turning around and saying to her buddies beside her, "Work with me in an act later."
"What act?" Catherine looked in the direction of Charity's gaze. "He's quite goodlooking."
She had high standards, and on top of that, she had been primed with Shaun's handsome face every day. Therefore, the man must be handsome for her to praise him.
"Monte, aren't you close with Eliza? Introduce us to them."
The one who spoke was the successor of Dolly Corporation, Hugo Jeffs, whom Monte needed help from recently.
Hugo was from Newcastle. He happened to be in Canberra for a business trip and stayed in the Patterson family's hotel. Over the last few days, Monte had been personally treating him with good food.
“Since you've requested, I'll do you this favor, Young Master Jeffs."
Monte laughed and greeted Charity as he walked up to her. "Lizzie, what a coincidence. Are you going to dine here too?"
Charity raised her brows.
