Chapter 90
Samuel called out, "Ms. Henderson."
Joe and Alice's smiles instantly froze on their faces.
What... What was going on?
At the same time, Robert's expression darkened.
"Mr. Liddell, you know Yolanda?" Robert forced himself to regain composure, managing to squeeze out a strained smile as he asked.
Once again, Samuel ignored him.
"Ms. Henderson, what a coincidence. Are you dining here as well?"
This time, Samuel's words left everyone even more bewildered. The frowns on their faces deepened as they looked at Yolanda.
They wondered what Yolanda had done to make even Samuel treat her with such respect. Among everyone present, no one was more shocked than Robert.
He couldn't believe Yolanda knew his direct supervisor.
When Robert invited his relatives to dinner, he had employed a bit of trickery. He had told everyone that he was the HR manager at Fusion Group. In reality, the company he worked for was just a branch of Fusion Group.
The difference between being a manager at the headquarters and a branch was huge.
However, for the sake of appearances, Robert had left out the "branch office" part, letting everyone assume he worked at the headquarters. In reality, he was working under Samuel and had never even met the real executives of the group.
Now, Robert's emotions were in turmoil. He couldn't fathom how Yolanda had crossed paths with Samuel. He was even more confused about why Samuel's attitude toward Yolanda seemed more respectful than how Daniel had treated her earlier.
At this moment, Samuel had no idea what was going on in Robert's mind. He was too focused on Yolanda. His eyes nervously glued to her while completely ignoring everyone else in the private room.
"There's nothing to discuss between us," Yolanda said flatly. She didn't bother acknowledging Samuel, not even lifting her head.
Samuel's expression stiffened instantly. His gaze grew even more anxious as he looked at Yolanda.
"Ms. Henderson, are you still upset about what happened last time? I really understand my mistake! Ever since that day, I've wanted to find a chance to apologize to you and Mrs. Henderson.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Since we're here now, why don't I treat you to dinner and drink a few glasses as a way to make amends?"
After leaving the Westorian
restaurant that day, Samuel looked into Yolanda's connection with Zach. When he found out that Yolanda had saved Evan, the heir of the Wright family, he was so terrified he
couldn't sleep for days.
If he could earn Yolanda's forgiveness, Samuel wouldn't just drink a few glasses to atone, and he was even willing to kneel and apologize.
Yolanda regarded Samuel with a cool expression. She didn't like this man.
However, since she planned to stay in Riverdale City for a while, she needed people to get things done for her.
Seeing that Samuel was genuinely afraid of crossing her, she finally spoke slowly, "It's late today. We'll discuss it another time."
When Yolanda didn't outright refuse him, Samuel exhaled deeply in relief. He quickly and respectfully handed her his business card.
"Alright, I'll wait for you to contact me whenever you're free!"
Robert was utterly bewildered. He found it hard to believe that the once hot-tempered boss at the company acted like an obedient lackey in front of Yolanda.
What unsettled him even more was Yolanda's indifferent attitude as she casually accepted Samuel's business card.
It was common knowledge that
most people wouldn't even get a
chance to speak with Samuel. Now, he was the one offering his business card, but Yolanda remained indifferent. It seemed incredibly ungrateful.
