Female Novel
Chapter 284
A lot of people in the IP&G rushed to a famous western restaurant in Zhonghuan.The restaurant was
booked for tonight, and the chandeliers were shining.Everyone walked into the venue excitedly.
Several models of the production team were treated as platinum guests, and they couldn’t help feeling
fluttered.
At 8.30 pm, everyone sat in an orderly manner.
The chefs in the restaurant were indeed world-class.
Everyone had a good time eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing.
“I heard that the restaurant serves no more than 30 times a year.It’s okay.It’s impossible to make an
appointment without any connections.These dishes are developed by themselves.There’s no such food
outside”
Several people whispered and turned their heads to the table on the most left side of the room.
Their shrill voices were lowered and they were rather excited, “He’s really here!”
Barbara was sitting at the very table, which was on the most left side of the room.She frowned and
looked around unhappily.
The French chef in the restaurant also felt the burning gaze of others.
He glanced at the man beside him, picked up a glass of red wine on the table, and clinked it with him.
A deep laugh came from the chef’s throat, which sounded refreshing.
The chef spoke with influent Chinese, “Mr.Hopkins, Would you like to have meal in the inner room?”
Patrick didn’t say anything.He just picked up his glass and took a sip.
“Is the food not to your liking?” The stout and tall French chef asked enthusiastically.
Barbara had been paying attention to the man opposite her.She always felt that Patrick had been a little
strange since he entered the restaurant.
Patrick looked calm and indifferent as ever, but Barbara always felt that he was absent-minded.Patrick
seemed to have been looking around for something.
“Because someone didn’t show up”
The director with bushy beards was also sitting at the same table.
He cut a piece of beef and gave the French chef a thumbs-up, “Yummy!”
“There are only some people who don’t know how to behave properly.The dishes are ready for her, but
she is even not willing to come, humph!”
Thinking of someone who was irritating, the director got furious and reckless.
“Who is it?”
The French were born with a romantic temperament.
The chef asked excitedly in his substandard Chinese accent, “Is it Mr.Hopkins’s lover?”
At this moment, Barbara interrupted in a hurry, “Where’s Charles Shepherd? Why didn’t he come?”
As soon as the French chef heard the name Charles Shepherd, he immediately changed the subject,
“Mr.Shepherd, oh, by the way, why didn’t Mr.Shepherd show up tonight? I lost my suitcase in Tokyo last
time.The police there had been searching for it all day and did not find a clue.We then asked his friends
to help me find it.I want to thank him properly”
Charles, a playboy who was indulged in having fun, was indeed a master of connections.He always
made a lot of friends no matter where he went.
Charles’s assistant, who was sitting at another table, was summoned over.
Looking at the big shots at this table, the assistant immediately reported the truth with trepidation.
“Mr.Shepherd originally said he was going to the hotel to pick up Miss Dickens, but half an hour ago,
they suddenly changed their minds.Now they are heading to the temple street in Mong Kok, Kowloon.It
seems that Miss Dickens is going to try the authentic snacks in Hongkong.”
“Oh”
Mr.Hopkins, who had been silent all this time, suddenly uttered an ambiguous “Oh.”
This young assistant was terrified.
The assistant then added nervously, “What I said just now is the truth.”
As he was afraid that others wouldn’t believe him, and he almost swore for this.But his extra words
made the atmosphere in this room instantly heavy and tense.
No matter how dull the French chef was, he could feel something was wrong.
Suddenly, everyone was silent.
“Hello, Mr.Hopkins”
This delicate female voice suddenly came and broke the strange silence.
Renee was wearing a casual white shirt with jeans tonight, without asexy outfit nor a lot of makeup.
She was wearing a silver cross necklace, which was very low-key.
With her light makeup and a smile, she looked beautiful and pure.
Compared to other models, she looked like a virtuous woman.
Barbara subconsciously wanted to say something tactful to drive Renee away.
After all, everyone here knew the rules.
Patrick didn’t like women taking the initiative to approach him.
But tonight, Patrick did not refuse beautiful women.
Instead, he looked up and signaled to the waiter beside him to quickly add a seat for Renee.
The director with bushy beards was the first to show his surprise, and almost got choked on the beef he
had just chewed.novelbin
Barbara on the other side still maintained a professional smile, but she was very upset in her mind.
Even she couldn’t sit next to him, but this model! Because there were not many people, everyone ate in
the lobby on the first floor.
Everyone saw everything here.
The women looked at this side secretly while continuing to chat with each other with a smile.
They were thinking different things in their minds.
“How did the advertisement shots go?”
Patrick moved the half-glass red wine poured by the waiter to the woman beside him, then asked her in
a very natural tone.
Renee was really flattered.
She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her mind, maintained a calm and smiling expression,
and replied slowly, “We have finished filming.
As for the final result, no matter what, I believe everyone has done their best.
I hope you will be satisfied when the work is presented.”
In fact, these were all meaningless words for formalities.
Renee was no match for Barbara after all, and she did not have the courage to talk nonsense, nor did
she dare to joke, so she had to behave herself.
To Renee’s surprise again, he even agreed personally, “I should be satisfied”
Barbara watched them chatting, and she nearly tore the table cloth apart especially seeing Renee
getting more and more complacent.
Barbara was trying to remain calm.But when they finished eating, Patrick left first, and he was politely
holding Renee with his right hand.
This time Barbara could no longer pretend to be calm.
“Patrick, the people in the branch company are going to have a video conference with you tonight.”
Barbara also stood up abruptly, her tone revealing her eagerness.
“Postpone it” He just dropped two words.
Other women in the restaurant watched them leave, and they looked very jealousy and regretful.
If they had known this, they would have tried their luck.
For a moment, Renee became a thorn in their hearts and they even forgot the rejection towards
Christina Dickens.
“Mr.Hopkins, where are you going?” Renne asked as she saw that Ms. Hopkins didn’t call the driver.
Instead, he asked the waiter to find a black Ferrari with a local license plate and then got into the
driver’s seat.
Most importantly, before she could get in the car, he started the engine directly.
Renee tried to open the door in the passenger seat but found that it was locked.She couldn’t get in the
car.
For a moment, she looked very embarrassed.
Even the waiter at the side looked at this strangely, “Sir, do you need any help?”
The waiter thought there was something wrong with the door.Just as he took a step forward, the black
Ferrari sped away.
There was no response, only a dazzling shadow of the car until it disappeared from view.
As for Ms.Shepherd, who had brought Christina away, suddenly sneezed loudly.
“Acold?” Christina asked with concern, which was rare.
Charles looked serious.He didn’t catch a cold, but…There was a chill in his back.
