Chapter 394 - 212: Did You Ask Me Out, or Did I Ask You Out?
The doctor happily said to Francis Johnson, "The child is doing well, and we already know the gender now: it’s a boy."Francis Johnson nodded, "Thank you. Please take good care of Miss Chu and the baby. You can contact me if anything comes up."
At this moment, Mad Girl also saw the trending topic on Weibo and was voice chatting with Lawrence Winters and Sister Three Billion in their small dorm group.
Mad Girl said somewhat sadly, "I really didn’t expect that our kind dorm leader would be the first to leave this world."
Sister Three Billion didn’t have a good impression of Molly Zimmerman and didn’t show leniency just because she passed away.
She turned on the camera on her phone and used the screen as a mirror while saying, "This was the path she chose; who can blame her? Didn’t you watch the news? Justus Spencer’s wife, Eva Harris, didn’t even attend his funeral after he passed."
Lawrence Winters agreed with Sister Three Billion but her grudge against Molly Zimmerman ran deeper than Mad Girl’s and Sister Three Billion’s had. There were things she hadn’t shared with them.
She said lightly, "Actually, this is fate; there’s no choice."
What she didn’t say was that on the day they graduated, the last time they saw Molly Zimmerman in their dorm, she noticed Molly’s eyes were sunken, her face sallow, and there was a faint fracture visible between her nose bridge.
This kind of appearance indicated her fortune had reached its limit.
But at that time, they all knew she was pregnant with Justus Spencer’s child. According to how Spencer Family men treated women, any woman who bore their child would be well taken care of.
So Molly Zimmerman’s latter half of life was surely going to be one of wealth and prosperity.
At the time, Lawrence Winters felt quite conflicted and thought she was lacking in her skills.
Looking back now, it wasn’t her lack of skill, but rather the unforeseen twist of fate that was clearly written on Molly Zimmerman’s face.
Therefore, even though she was pregnant with Justus Spencer’s child back then, she wasn’t destined to live long enough to give birth.
Mad Girl became even more sad after hearing Lawrence Winters’ words.
Moreover, she was pregnant, and her emotions were naturally more volatile, which made her cry.
She stopped sending voice messages and instead texted: I’m a bit tired; let’s not chat for now.
Lawrence Winters noticed her change in mood and immediately sent a message to the group: Mad Girl, don’t overthink it. Your baby is fine. You are someone blessed with future happiness.
Mad Girl pursed her lips and sent a voice message: ...No matter how my future turns out, I’ll never forget Joyce Shaw. He’s forever the man I love the most.
Joyce Shaw was not just the greatest love of Mad Girl’s life; he was her first love.
Such an addition ensures no man could remove Joyce Shaw from Mad Girl’s heart.
Sister Three Billion did not speak, silently put her phone down, and continued working.
Lawrence Winters did not end the conversation directly but said, "As long as you don’t forget him, he will always live in your heart."
Also, Joyce Shaw left behind a child; no one will ever forget him.
After finishing the chat with Mad Girl and Sister Three Billion, Lawrence Winters didn’t feel like working anymore.
She checked the time on her phone and realized it was already noon, twelve o’clock, time for lunch.
She tidied up the things on her desk, picked up her Coach bag, and stood up.
At this moment, the office’s internal phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, she saw it was Edward Foster calling.
Lawrence Winters answered the phone, "Mr. Foster, is there something you need?"
"Come have lunch together; aren’t you hungry yet?" Edward Foster countered, "I’ve been waiting for you to invite me since eleven."
"Why would I invite you?" Lawrence Winters asked curiously, "Isn’t it you who is supposed to invite me for a business lunch?"
Edward Foster was momentarily stunned.
In the past, when he pursued those women, even female celebrities, just a hint from him was enough for them to remember and they would appear at his office waiting for him just as the time arrived.
Lawrence Winters really had a big attitude...
Edward Foster thought to himself, realizing that Lawrence Winters was someone who had a boyfriend; he hadn’t dared to truly pursue her.
He laughed, pat his head, and realized he needed to change his mindset and not rush things.
Therefore, he quickly switched to a different tone and said with a smile, "Oh my, did I say it? How come I don’t remember?"
"Well, Mr. Foster, it’s normal for the highly important to forget things. Since you forgot, it’s just as well; I’m going to eat. Bye!" Lawrence Winters said as she hung up the phone and walked out.
Just as she stepped out of the office door, Lucas Harlow exited his room, smiling and saying, "Lawrence, are you going to have lunch too? Let’s go together. I have something to discuss with you."
Lawrence Winters’ eyes brightened and she said with surprise, "Lucas, you actually came to the company! I’ve been wanting to find you!"
Lucas Harlow is a celebrity, typically either on set filming or at home when not busy with schedules, rarely visiting the company.
However, since Lawrence Winters became his manager, he visited the company more often, thanks to Edward Foster arranging a room as a resting area.
Whenever he came to the company, he stayed in that resting room belonging to him.
Lucas Harlow smiled and said, "That’s perfect, our thoughts aligned. Let’s go, we’ll eat in the downstairs restaurant; it’s quieter there."
Lawrence Winters nodded, happily going with Lucas Harlow to the downstairs restaurant.
The restaurant they went to was actually on the basement level.
Nevertheless, the restaurant owner had created a lot of natural scenery: green bamboo encircling, standing rockery, and water flowing down from the rockery.
A few kingfishers and parrots scattered within the bamboo forest, very clear to see through the transparent glass.
This restaurant is very expensive; not many come here for lunch, providing an element of privacy.
However, due to Lucas Harlow’s celebrity status, the two of them sat in an inconspicuous corner.
The waiter brought the menu for them to order and, seeing Lucas Harlow, was extremely excited, shakily asking him for an autograph.
Lucas Harlow signed a name on the small booklet she offered, and she became more attentive to their table.
Just after they finished ordering and the dishes were served, Edward Foster sauntered into the restaurant.
He initially thought Lawrence Winters was alone here, but then he saw Lucas Harlow sitting across from her.
Lucas Harlow said something, making Lawrence Winters laugh.
When she laughed, she liked to cover her mouth with the back of her hand, appearing much more charming than usual.
Edward Foster felt a surge of emotion and hurriedly ran over.
