The waiter glanced at Bella and Leo with concern.
’Would they give up their VIP room if they were aware that Laura Kiels would like to use it?’ he pondered.
Concerned that he might have made a mistake, the waiter explained the situation to Jessica, but she remained insistent.
Jessica smiled gently at the waiter before asking politely. Still, her tone sounded like an order that could not be refused, "Can you please approach that customer? You can offer them a complimentary lunch. I’ll foot the bill for them. Tell them they can eat as much as they wish."
The waiter worries about offending a public figure and this older woman with an aura from a wealthy background; he decides to help them speak with the earlier customer.
"Madam, I will talk with them first before making a decision. However, I’m uncertain if they’ll accept your generous offer, ma’am..." the waiter stated.
"Yes, please do try... If they decline, allow me to handle it," Jessica responded with her trademark gentle smile, her face still maintaining its elegance even though her eyes were starting to look displeased.
After the waiter left, Laura Kiels leaned her head close to Jessica with a worried gesture and whispered. "It’s alright, Auntie. We can dine in the main hall. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m used to eating at places like this..." she said. However, deep down, she couldn’t accept the idea of dining in the hall.
She just can’t.
Laura only attempts to maintain a favorable impression in front of Tristan’s mother. Even though her son doesn’t really like her, the important thing is that Jessica Sinclair loves her and always stands behind her to defend her.
"Oh, my dear Laura, you are such an angel. You have a kind and down-to-earth heart."
"No, Aunty... I’m not." Laura smile.
Bella almost spat out of blood, hearing their words. Gosh!
"Don’t worry, my dear Laura... We have to secure a VIP room for ourselves. After all, you are the top celebrity in this country... it’s inappropriate for you to eat in a public area, right!?" Jessica declared, tenderly patting Laura’s hand.
"Hmm... thank you, Aunty Jessica. I’m so grateful to know you, Aunty... You are so kind to me..." Laura smiled sweetly. She glanced at the waiter approaching the customer.
"Aunty, I hope Tristan can join us for lunch," she said calmly while returning her gaze to Jessica.
Jessica’s calm expression suddenly stiffened. Since returning from her holiday a few days ago, her son has not visited them. Tristan never picked up whenever she called; his assistant always told her he was busy.
She sighed silently before saying, "Tristan has been busy lately, so we shouldn’t bother him."
Jessica smiled at Laura, but her eyes betrayed her true feelings.
...
Unbeknownst to them, Bella and Leo overheard their conversation. And upon hearing Jessica and Laura’s conversation, Bella, in particular, was rendered speechless.
