The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 662

I thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. In any case, this had nothing to do with me.

After Theo left, Munchkin kept asking where he went and when he was coming back. I could only tell him that he would soon be back. After asking a few more times, he stopped asking again.

The days were not as quiet recently. The rumors about Fred and I were getting more and more outrageous in the restaurant. Some even said that we were already living together.

At first, I was quite troubled about it, but I later got over it. Humans would only choose to believe in whatever they were willing to believe in. There was no use explaining. Being overly concerned about it would only add to one's troubles.

Fortunately, due to my relationship with Carlson, most people would not show malice when they saw me.

When it was payday, Fred handed me the payslip and said with a smile, "You should buy me a meal."

When I saw that my salary had increased twice as much, I nodded. "What do you want to eat?"

Someone overheard our conversation and chimed in,"

Miss Lane got a promotion and a pay raise. This is worth celebrating."

Fred smiled at me and made no comments.

I let out a small smile and said, "Let's have dinner together, then. After that, we'll all go to the bar?"

"Sure!” Several ladies responded cheerfully.

When the rest had gone back to work, Fred said to me, "Your total salary is only 8,000 dollars. It will cost 1,000 to 2,000 for a meal. After another round at the bar, you won't have much left."

I smiled. "It's okay. My spending isn’t huge now anyway, so I don't need to use a lot of money. Everyone’s excited, so let’s just go and have some fun."

Fred nodded with a smile. "I'll ask my mom to go to the kindergarten to pick Munchkin and Tiana up tonight. We can go back a little later."

"Okay."

"I heard that the two presidents of the Grant and Zimmer Corporation are in contention. Both are interested in drawing the Schumans over to their side. Can you perhaps reveal some of the details, Miss Lane? Maybe we can gossip a little about it?"

When a group sat together, what better things were there to do than gossip? I smiled and said, "I didn't stay very long in Whaldorf City and came over to Zenon three years ago, so I'm not very sure either."

Fiona had always been a highly visible person. Without her father's support now, she was given the cold shoulder and felt unfairly treated.

She looked at the crowd and said, "As I remember, Miss Lane's son is already four years old. Say, why do you think a rich daughter is hiding with her son in such a remote town?"

This topic was quite gossipy in nature.

All of a sudden, everyone at the table turned to look at me. Someone asked curiously, "Miss Lane, we seem to have never seen or heard of your son’s father before."

I pursed my lips. The waiter happened to be serving the food, and I said, "We've been talking for so long. Everyone must be hungry now. Hurry up and dig in."
