Chapter 1073

Shannon stopped in her tracks and snapped at me. "Who says I’m leaving? I’m just going to use the

toilet."

She turned around and went into the bathroom after saying that, slamming the door shut.

Lally was dumbfounded and asked me, ' You know each other?”

I nodded. "We’re friends."

When Shannon came out of the toilet, she sat on the sofa and looked at us, saying," I've asked

someone to bring us wine. Can you drink?”

"Of course.” Lally sat down and said breezily, "We'll drink till we drop today."

I asked with a smile, "Want to order some food to go with the wine?"

Shannon nodded. "We most certainly need t o order food. I'll ask them to serve it."

She looked at Cally and asked, "Are you

Jordan's assistant?"

"I'm a secretary."

I added, "One who does the job of an assistant."

Shannon understood and continued to ask, "Do you work closely with him?"

Cally coughed. “No, just normal work."

"What I mean is that you should know him really well, right?"

"Just average."

I was relieved when I saw the two of them chatting.

Sensing Shannon darting glances at me from time to time with bitterness in her eyes, Lally said with

a smile, "We're fortunate to be rescued by you today.

Otherwise, William, that bastard, would’ve done terrible things to us."

"It's no big deal,” Shannon said a little nonchalantly.

Lally was a little curious and asked straight away, “Is your grandmother Madam Anna, Ms. Collins?"

Shannon pursed her lips. "Stop thinking so much. Drink up. We must be fated to meet each other."

I was not sure about her family background either. Although everybody had shared something about

themselves the other day, no one specified any details.

Seeing that Shannon refused to share, Cally did not ask further questions.

When the waiter brought in food and wine, Cally said while pouring wine, “I’ll have to thank you

regardless for today. Cheers to our friendship."

Shannon picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Drink up."

After drinking wine, Cally asked curiously," Did you really overhear us while passing b y? There

can't be such a coincidence."

Shannon raised her eyes to look at me and said blandly, "I already saw you when you were on the

first floor and observed the situation from the moment William stood i n your way until he took you

upstairs. I was watching you guys the whole time." "We're truly lucky. Cally said with lingering fear,

"Who knows what sickening things William would’ve done to us if you hadn't shown up?"

I could not remain silent at this point. I poured a glass of wine and raised it up. Looking at Shannon,

I said, "I was at fault this afternoon and would like to apologize t o you. Thank you for saving us.”

Shannon pursed her lips and mulled it over, saying, "I was wrong too. You have secrets of your

own, so I shouldn't have forced you if you didn't want to talk about them. Besides, relationships are

the most difficult to deal with. Everyone has a different way of handling their problems. I shouldn't

have interfered."

I raised my head and sighed. "I’m used to overcomplicating simple things, and I'm not good at

solving relationship problems. You see things from a different perspective and are my friend, so it’s

understandable that you find it difficult to accept my incorrect ways of handling a relationship

problem."

Lally looked at us and involuntarily smiled. "You're both so adorable. I love it. Friends will remain

friends no matter what happens. Besides, there’s nothing a glass of wine can’t solve. Drink up."
