Chapter 1364
"Hey there, Miss." The manager caught up with Fiona in no time, stopping right in front of her with a respectful
nod.
"Did | do well just now?" His eyes were hopeful, like a puppy seeking approval. Louise had always rubbed him the
wrong way, constantly throwing shade at Fiona, so he figured it was tto set her straight. "Nicely done," Fiona
chuckled, a playful glint in her eyes. She'd been fed up with Louise's antics for ages.
"By the way, Miss, since you're rarely here, how about checking out the restaurant's accounts in the office?" the
manager suggested.
Ray, still single and without kids, had convinced a fifteen-year-old Fiona to sign over sshares, making her

As they shared slight-hearted banter, Louise emerged from the restroom, still smarting from her earlier
embarrassment. Too ashamed to return to her table, she wandered aimlessly until she stumbled upon Fiona and
Mr. Welch's interaction. Quickly ducking out of sight, she watched them closely. When Mr. Welch reached out and

had to be their doing! In her mind, Fiona was probably Mr. Welch's mistress.
Fueled by a mix of disdain and thrill, Louise snapped a few photos, choosing angles that would easily spark
gossip.
Satisfied with her handiwork, she thought, "So Fiona's someone's kept woman? Gross."
After chatting with Mr. Welch, Fiona headed back to the private room. On the way, her phone buzzed-it was
Jackson. "Hey, big bro," she purred, her voice lazy and teasing, like a cat stretching in the sun.
"What are you up to?"
"Just having dinner with sclassmates at the Golden Hotel. Nash and Sister Fu are here too."
Jackson was a bit surprised but
didn't press for details. "Wantto swing by and pick you up when
you're done? Take you back
place."
Fiona laughed, "Why are you bringingto your place, big bro?"

Her voice had a playful lilt, clearly teasing him. Jackson realized how his words sounded and shook bis head
amused and exasperated.
"It's Adam. He's awake and wants our amazing doctor to check him out," Jackson explained.
"Oh," Fiona raised an eyebrow. "You
wante to look at your friend, huh? Maybe you should sweeten the deal a bit, or I might just bail."
