Chapter 46 Miss Devereux, you're quite...
Why does Lady Hall want to invite her for a meal and bring Brady along?
Violet definitely didn't want to accompany her for this lunch.
Once Violet recovered from her shock, she forced a stiff smile and said to the old lady, "I'm sorry, Madam, thank you for your kind invitation, but I can't go for lunch."
The old lady, aware of her shyness, smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, I can talk to Mr. Green and have him agree."
Violet's heart twitched; it wasn't because of Mr. Green that she couldn't go.
She just didn't want to go.
But Violet couldn't directly explain her true intentions, so she racked her brain to find an excuse and said, "Madam, I have something to do at noon, so I can't accompany you for lunch."
"Oh? Such bad luck?" Lady Hall suddenly became sad, her expression somewhat disappointed, "I came here specially today to have lunch with you."
The old lady sounded so pitiful that Violet's heart softened once again.
She bit her lip and said, "Perhaps, can I accompany you next time?"
"That'll do." The old lady didn't want to force her if she had something to do, but she said feeling somewhat down, "I don't know if Mr. Hall will be free. It was just a suggestion. If he has time, he'll come. If he doesn't, then I'll have to eat alone."
Violet: ...
Why did she feel like she was being convinced by the old lady again?
Of course, in the end, she was indeed convinced by the old lady.
After all, she didn't really have anything to do.
All excuses.
But why did she always have to have such a soft heart?
Violet was truly speechless, but thinking about the old lady saying Mr. Hall might not be available to join them for lunch, Violet realized she would be alright.
She didn't need to become so worked up.
The probability of Mr. Hall coming for lunch was very low.
He must be busy.
With this thought, Violet relaxed.
As lunchtime approached, she accompanied the old lady to the upscale restaurant she had made a reservation at.
The old lady specifically chose a private room in this restaurant.
The environment was elegant, and the atmosphere was high-class and serene.
The dishes were also delicious.
Most importantly, Brady really couldn't make it.
When the old lady called him earlier, he said he was busy, and Violet felt relieved to accompany the old lady for this meal.
Brady's absence didn't affect the old lady's mood; as long as Violet accompanied her, it was enough.
The old lady truly lacked companionship.
Brady was busy, and his parents were also busy overseas.
Other younger relatives in the family were also busy.
There were only a few who had the time to accompany her.
The old lady was happy in her heart and ordered many dishes for Violet.
The two of them enjoyed their meal, but halfway through, the door of the private room was pushed open.
Originally, they thought it would be the waiter.
The man who wouldn't come for dinner unexpectedly appeared before them in full suit and tie, leaving Violet completely shocked. But the old lady was delighted and immediately said, "Brady, come and sit down."
"Grandma, why are you inviting employees from the Hall company to lunch again?" Brady smiled and glanced deeply at the quiet Violet, as calm as a kitten.
What is with this woman? How could she make his grandma like her so much and even come to the company to ask her out for a meal? Brady was truly impressed. Of course, he had to suspect this woman was using some trick on his grandma again.
Thus, with this thought in mind, taking advantage of Violet's mid-bathroom break, he went too. Once he arrived, he cornered her at the entrance of the restroom and spoke in a low, intense voice, "Miss Devereux, you're quite skilled."
