Chapter 59
Leopold turned around, waiting for Agnes to speak up.
Eden left, and Agnes took a deep breath, "Can I skip dance class this afternoon? I made plans to hang out with my friends!"
Agnes wanted to ask her dance teacher, Rebecca, for time off, but she needed Leopold's permission first.
"Who are you hanging out with?" Leopold asked in a deep voice.
Agnes sighed inwardly, "Who else but Justin and the others?" Her social circle was small, and she usually hung out with just a few people, including Justin.
"Spend less time with him!" Leopold said disapprovingly. Justin was always causing trouble, and it wouldn't be surprising if they had wrecked the Diamond Suite last night.
Agnes was a bit confused.
Leopold glanced at the time, "I've arranged a private room for lunch for you on Alioth's fifth floor. Dennis will contact you."
Was that a yes?
Agnes beamed, "Okay, do I need to bring anything for you?" She immediately regretted it; someone like Leopold had everything.
"Yes," Leopold said.
His answer surprised Agnes, "What should I bring?"
Leopold said, "Men's underwear," and then left, leaving Agnes in shock.
He actually asked her to bring him men's underwear.
Sunrise International Shopping Mall Building.
When the group gathered, Justin was still yawning, "Ladies, can't we take a break for a day? What movie are we watching?"
After Agnes left last night, Leroy dragged Justin out for drinks. He had just gotten some sleep when he was called out to hang out.
Agnes and Bella's idol's movie was premiering, and as die-hard fans, they couldn't miss it.
"Why don't you go back then?" Agnes suggested seriously.
Justin nodded, unable to fight off his sleepiness.
As he turned, Agnes whispered to Bella, "For lunch at Alioth's fifth floor, Leopold arranged a private room."
Justin immediately perked up, "Really! Didn't your husband have you kicked out of Alioth last time?"
Bella patted him, "Mr. Neville didn't know about his relationship with Agnes back then!" Bella and Clara were already in the know.
Jeremy had heard bits and pieces from Clara, but Justin was completely in the dark.
"Mr. Neville didn't know about his relationship with Agnes?" Justin was shocked.
Who wouldn't know who their wife was? Especially someone like Leopold. Even though they had not yet held their wedding, it was unbelievable for Leopold to be completely ignorant of his wife.
Agnes spotted a brand store and had an idea. She turned to Justin, "Leopold and I are legally married, so stop worrying about it. Now, can you do me a favor? Since I'm treating you to lunch, how about you help me buy something?"
"Deal!" Justin agreed right away.
When he walked out of the store carrying men's underwear, he looked at the smug Agnes and felt like crying, "Why am I buying your husband's underwear? Isn't that weird?"
A guy buying underwear for another guy, especially for Leopold? Justin felt like Agnes had set him up.
The rest of the group laughed so hard they were almost in tears, making all sorts of jokes. In the end, Justin and Leopold were inexplicably paired as 'lovers'.
When Agnes and her friends arrived at the fifth floor of the Alioth building, Dennis was already waiting. As soon as he saw her step out of the elevator, he and the manager went up to greet her, "Mrs. Neville, you're here."
Agnes was surprised by Dennis's personal reception. Hearing the respectful address made her cheeks flush slightly. She nodded lightly in response, "Yes, hello." Then she turned to introduce her friends, "This is Leopold's assistant, Dennis Carter!"
After some polite exchanges, Dennis and the manager led the group into the pre-booked luxury private room.
Inside, Dennis personally helped the waitstaff arrange the dishes. Leopold's personal assistant serving them made everyone feel both touched and a bit embarrassed. Agnes took Dennis's seafood platter and smiled. "Dennis, you can stop now. Join us for the meal."
"Thank you for the kind offer, Mrs. Neville, but I have some matters to attend to back at the company," Dennis politely declined.
Not very skilled in social interactions, Agnes didn't know how to respond for a moment and just nodded, "Then you go ahead. These are all my friends; we'll take care of ourselves."
"Yes, we're fine here. Dennis, you should get back to work!" Clara, new to such high-end places, felt a bit uneasy with the enthusiastic service from the waitstaff and Dennis.
Justin, already used to such treatment, ignored the service and looked thoughtfully at Agnes, "Agnes, considering I bought your husband's underwear, how about getting him to give me a VIP card here?"
Agnes glanced at him, "What do you need a VIP card for? I don't even have one!"
