CHAPTER 1215 HAVING DINNER TOGETHER
"We're just ordinary friends," Shirley replied casually, not wanting to make the relationship between the three of them too tense.
With that, she dealt with company matters until her phone vibrated at 11:00 a.m.
She picked it up to see a WhatsApp text from Wade. 'What time do you get off work? I'll come pick you up.'
Buzz!
Her phone vibrated again, and another text appeared in their chatroom. 'Thanks for taking care of my mother these past two days. Would you let me take you out for a meal?'
After she skimmed through the message, a smile played at the corner of her lips. She quickly tapped a reply on her phone with both thumbs. 'No problem. I wouldn't reject an invitation to a free meal. I'll get off work soon at around 11:30 a.m.'
Shirley didn't actually mind taking care of his mother since it wasn't troublesome at all, but she knew that he was certainly not in the best condition, so having a meal and chatting with him helped alleviate his mood.
'Okay. I'll come pick you up later.'
Wade quickly replied to the message.
Shir replied with an 'OK' and put down her phone, immersing herself in her work.
Time flew by quickly when she was busy, and soon, it was time to get off work. Content © copyrighted by .
Jayden and Shawn came over to greet her after work. "Shir, are you not leaving?"
"Would you like to have dinner with me and Jay?"
After realizing Shirley's relationship with Skyler and Garrick, the two of them became even more cautious around her, as if she were a precious jewel.
If they were to accidentally upset her, they were worried that she could use her relationship with Skyler to make him acquire Vincere Games.
"I have plans, so you guys go ahead and eat," Shirley declined them with a friendly attitude.
With that, the two waved goodbye and left the office.
Shirley packed her stuff, put on a thin white jacket, and carried her bag as she walked out of the building.
She stood outside the office building, waiting for Wade.
After a while, she saw Skyler instead of Wade.
"What are you looking at?"
When she heard someone talking to her while she was on her phone, she looked up to find Skyler standing in front of her.
Instinctively, she frowned. "Y-Young Master Skyler, what brings you here?"
Young Master Skyler?!
Hearing the unfamiliar name she had just called out to, Skyler withdrew his smile instantly. "I'm here to talk to—"
"Hey, Shir!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a cheerful voice came from the side.
The two turned their heads in unison and noticed Wade dressed in a suit as he got out of the car. He held a bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, which were adorned with white baby's breath and wrapped in black packaging paper. On top of it was a thin, black gauze, making the bouquet look even more delicate and beautiful.
Wade jogged over and glanced at Skyler. "Hey, Young Master Skyler. What a coincidence."
Skyler was about to nod in response when he saw Wade shift his gaze back to Shirley and present a bright smile. "Here. This is for you. I don't know if you'll like it."
"Thank you."
It was the first time someone had given her flowers, hence she couldn't stop smiling. Shirley lowered her head and sniffed the roses in her arms, complimenting, "They smell so good."
"Haha. I'm glad you like it."
He had carefully selected this bouquet, afraid that Shirley wouldn't like it.
Therefore, he was delighted upon seeing the excitement on her face.
However, Skyler was speechless at them.
Did they just ignore me?!
"I booked a private room at Serril's Hut. Let's go," Wade urged before asking Skyler, "Young Master Skyler, Shir and I are going to have a meal. Would you like to join us?"
He casually threw the question, never expecting Skyler to accept it. Contrary to that, Skyler nodded. "Sure. I was a little hungry on my way."
