Chapter 85 Dinner of trap
From New York to the provincial capital by car, it was no more than two hours‘ drive at most if one took
the highway.
The two started at nine in the morning. When they found Royal Garden Hotel, it was almost half past
eleven, and they arrived half an hour earlier.
However, Monica was already waiting.
Seeing them, Monica greeted them warmly, “Hi, Queenie! I have a reservation for box one, and asked
the waiter to take you there. I will wait here. Mr. Taylor should be here soon.”
“Hmm!”
Queenie nodded.
So they went into the box. After waiting for about ten minutes, Monica finally came with a man.
“Queenie, come on, let me introduce you. This is Joshua Taylor, the boss of the Golden Group! Mr.
Taylor, this is my friend, Queenie!” Monica introduced them to each other with a smile.
Joshua glanced at Queenie and said, “I’ve read her profile.”
Queenie quickly got up, politely shook hands with Joshua and said, “Hello, Mr. Taylor, thank you so
much for taking the time to meet with me.”
“I would like to give you this opportunity, first, for the sake of Monica, and second, because I have been
paying attention to your company’s recent developments, and I think your company is really good at
public relations.”
In recent days, no negative news about Queenie Group could be found on the Internet. Joshua thought
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat these were all due to the public relations department of Queenie Group.
In other words, he essentially believed that Queenie had a special relationship with Duke of Southern
River.
Otherwise, how could she turn Queenie Group into a top company in New York at such a young age?
Queenie’s face changed slightly, but he didn’t explain anything.
She knew it was complicated to explain. Even she could not figure out how the Russell Family could
take the initiative to set the record straight.
After greeting, they all took seats.
Monica sat beside Queenie, took her hand and said, “Queenie, didn’t you ask me why I broke up with
my ex–boyfriend that day? Actually, I brought it up.”
“You brought it up?”
“Hmm!”
Monica sighed and lost in thought of the past.
She was a girl full of longing for love before. She thought she could grow old with her ex–boyfriend. But
after leaving school, the tower of ivory, she found that things were not as simple as she imagined.
The pressure from work, marriage, car loan and housing loan and many other sides soon overwhelmed
Monica’s yearning for love.
No matter how strong the love was, it couldn’t defeat the reality.
So after another quarrel with her ex–boyfriend about the bride price, Monica broke up on her own
initiative and turned to her boss, her current husband.
“I love my ex–boyfriend very much, but he can’t give me the life I want. I come from an ordinary family,
and I don’t want to suffer like this again.”
After she married her boss, Monica became more and more aware of how wise she had made her
choice. Now as a rich lady, she had everything she wanted. She didn’t have to hesitate for a long time
when seeing a favorite lipstick as before.
Even if she later learned that her husband had many mistresses outside, Monica was not too angry
because she also had many lovers.
They basically had their own lives, but it did not affect their marriage at all.
After listening to Monica, Queenie sighed and frowned slightly, “Monica, why do you tell me this now?”
Queenie didn’t want to judge Monica, but she didn’t understand why Monica said these to her at this
time.
Joshua was the main character of this dinner.
However, Monica directly put Joshua aside. More strangely, Joshua did not get angry or interrupt.
Queenie wondered was the boss of Golden Group so good–natured?
Monica patted Queenie’s hand and said meaningfully, “Queenie, actually, I just want to tell you that we
women must seize the opportunity. Remember, choice is greater than effort.”
Queenie was confused and thought, “Don’t you just want to tell me to cherish this opportunity today?
Why beat around the bush? So weird!”
Of course, she didn’t say that, for fear of offending Monica. Anyway, Monica brought about the dinner
today, and Queenie was very grateful to her.
“I know you are driving here today, so I won’t ask you to drink. Well, Queenie, you can use a drink
instead of wine to toast Mr. Taylor.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen Monica took out a large bottle of orange juice from under the table and poured a glass for
Queenie.
Queenie, without any doubt, stood up and said to Joshua, “Here’s to you, Mr. Taylor. Thank you for
giving me the opportunity to have this interview.”
Joshua nodded solemnly until he saw Queenie drink all the juice in her cup, then there was a strange
light flashed in his eyes.
At this time, John suddenly smiled and said to Monica, “Monica, let’s have a drink too!”
“Yeah!”
Monica suddenly looked excited. She could not wait for John to do so.
Of course there was something wrong with the juice.
In fact, when Joshua first read Queenie’s profile, he got some bad intentions for her. A woman who was
so pretty in photo without make–up must be more amazing in reality.
And facts had proved that it was true.
But Joshua didn’t show it immediately. Instead, he intelligently refused Queenie’s request to meet
him for the first time and decided to set a difficult situation for her first.
Then,
Joshua learned that Monica was Queenie’s college roommate, so he took the initiative to find
Monica and ask her to set up the dinner. But he was putting on a show of reluctance.
In this way, Queenie would cherish this hard won opportunity more and relax her vigilance more easily.
Just now, Monica told Queenie about her experience to test the bottom line of Queenie, but she found
that Queenie didn’t seem to get her, so she had to give Queenie the drink that had been drugged.
In other words, Monica seemed to have kindly invited Queenie to dinner, but in fact she led her into a
trap.
