Chapter 638
"That's all for now." Lola faked a smile, and her palm was sweaty.
Cedrick took a sip of the red wine with an incomprehensible smile.
"Miss Atherton seems to know well about Italean cuisine. I saw that you picked two similar dishes. I prefer tuscana
seafood a little more. What about you?"
Lola nodded hastily in agreement. "I like tuscana seafood too. It is so fresh and tangy while chewy at the same
time. Everyone should give it a try later."
Cedrick's cold glare shot right through Lola.
"It's a type of soup. How would it be chewy?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoup? Lola's face turned red immediately.
"Right, it is soup. I'm sorry, I just thought about something else."
"Cedrick, perhaps Miss Atherton was describing the seafood in the soup, weren't you, Miss Atherton?" Catelyn
placed her wine glass down, and looked at Lola.
"Yes, that was what I meant. The soup is tangy, and the seafood is chewy."
Phillip's face sank as he looked at Lola coldly. "Do you not know that I am allergic to seafood?"
Lola smiled stiffly. "I... forgot about it."
Cedrick smiled again, incomprehensibly. "Perhaps, Miss Atherton does not even know what is inside the soup."
Phillip realized he was fooled. "So you have zero clue about Italean cuisine! Why did you say that you like it, then?
Don't pretend to know things when you don't. It was better for Miss Clark to order then..."
Soon, the waiter served the food as soon as Phillip finished his sentence.
The dishes were all colorful and in great variety, but there were barely any mains.
Looking at the three bowls of soup and two plates of salad, Phillip could feel his temples pulsing.
Catelyn received the menu and made a new order. She asked about everyone's dietary preferences and
restrictions and made relevant orders.
Even the waiter complimented her for her knowledge of Italean dishes.
The order went well. Lola bit her lip disheartened, her cheeks red. However, she could not leave. She had to stay to
watch what other games Catelyn could play.
She had already hooked up with Cedrick, and now she was trying to please the slimy old man as well!
She must be up to something...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn did not care much about Lola, when it was nearing the end of the meal, Catelyn finally presented her
proposal to Phillip.
Phillip seemed to lack authority over the outsiders. In fact, he was just being prudent most of the time.
He was slimy, but he never agreed to the pretty girls' requests.
When Catelyn proposed that VSA Group intended to collaborate with Deluxe International on the airport project, he
only smiled and received the stack of proposal papers.
If it were not for Cedrick, he would not even look at VSA Group, a company with such a bad reputation.
Catelyn knew that he did not want to consider the VSA Group, she persuaded, "Mister Kingsley, don't you decline
first. We are really looking forward to this. We are willing to do a 70-30 split, 70% for Deluxe International."
Phillip wiped his mouth with the napkin. He was not keen at all, even if they offered a 90% share to him.
Catelyn continued, "Other than this, I have a very important suggestion to make."
