Chapter 282: Chapter 282: They All Want to Do Well (4)

Carolline Ruiz has not been responding to George Edwards because she knows well that a man like George is not someone she should provoke. Men like him, with small-minded pettiness, will surely make her life miserable once offended.

Of course, she and Megan Clifton don’t fear him; after all, they just have to do their job well.

"Do you think I’m afraid of him?" Megan pursed her lips. "Our office room is different. Besides, we are on the same level; there’s no reason to be afraid of him!"

"With a baby on the way, watch what you say and mind your prenatal education." Carolline uses every opportunity to school her.

She has to be put in her place. After all, she’s about to become a mother, yet she doesn’t know how to act more restrained.

"Alright, all right, if I didn’t know better, I’d think you were my stepmom." Megan was about to return to the office room. "By the way, pick a good restaurant, and I want something high-end."

"..." Carolline was speechless.

Since arrangements had to be made in any case, Carolline returned to the office room, pondered for a moment, and sent Bryan Hawkins a text.

Quickly, Bryan replied, setting the dinner location at the A-Class VIP Lounge of the Royal Winery. Carolline didn’t pay much attention to it and replied with a casual text, asking him to handle the arrangements.

Afterward, she forwarded Bryan’s text to Megan and didn’t bother with the matter any further.

What Carolline didn’t know was that upon receiving the text, Megan got extremely excited. The Royal Winery is the best restaurant in G City, one that cannot be booked simply with money and status!

Bryan had made the Royal Winery a high-end dining establishment, and a meal there could practically cost someone their life.

Megan’s scream of excitement echoed throughout their entire office floor. Then, she posted a message on her Moments, smugly informed her friends that she would be dining at the most luxurious Royal Winery in G City that night.

Immediately after, she received a pile of replies, all of them filled with envy and jealousy.

Once she calmed down, she reasoned that Carolline was probably the Lady Boss of the Royal Winery, and from then on, she could easily show off at the establishment whenever she wanted to, right?

Therefore, the one to be envied the most remained Carolline.

——

At seven in the evening, the party arrived punctually at the Royal Winery. Carolline’s family was taken there in Bryan’s car. Carolline provided the fish they had caught, which Bryan arranged for the chefs to prepare, along with some home-cooked meals.

However, even the most ordinary home-cooked dishes made Megan’s eyes sparkle.

Mrs. Wang was the happiest of all that day, as her daughter-in-law was finally pregnant. This is something she had been eagerly waiting for, so as soon as the dishes were served, she filled Megan’s bowl with the most nutritious options.

"..." Megan didn’t know what to say, but her mother-in-law was simply showing kindness. However, with several waiters present and watching her every move, she felt somewhat ill at ease, not knowing if it was her guilt or something else.

"Xiao Jie, eat more." Mrs. Wang said with a smile, not feeling uneasy about her behavior. Finally, the grandchild she had longed for was in Megan’s womb. Although it was just a tiny bean now, in her eyes, it was already a little baby capable of opening its eyes and mouth.

With just ten months to go, the little bean would become a real baby. Mrs. Wang even daydreamed about going out shopping and showing off after ten months while holding the baby in her arms.

"Thank you, Mom, but nowadays, pregnant women aren’t recommended to put on too much weight. It’s not healthy." Megan had no choice but to indirectly remind her mother-in-law not to be overly attentive to her and make herself a laughing stock.
