Chapter 107 A Chance Encounter (1/2)
Carla didn't contribute much to the conversation. The main reason was that there weren't many topics to talk about that she had in common with them. The only subject left for them was children's education.
She had to play the role of Sean's mother, as their real mother had passed away. So Carla was left to do that job and
Sean's education was something she couldn't ignore.
Thus, this became the shared topic between her and the middle-aged women.
The waiter looked at the booking number of Mrs. Jiang and led them to a large table where they could all be seated. The restaurant didn't have a separate VIP private room.
The motto of the restaurant was that all of their guests were VIPs and they didn't differentiate between the classes.
The restaurant was large so there were plenty of seats for choice. The food catered for events like birthday parties, couples or large friend gatherings, and so on.
Guests were all well educated and cultured. Rackets were very rarely seen and people were courteous and spoke in low voices.
Mrs. Jiang had been considerate. She was aware that some people may not enjoy western cuisine and so ordered Chinese food instead. She did a little research before they had arrived at the restaurant and took the liberty of ordering the most delicious and popular food. Virtually all the most recommended meals was ordered from the menu.
Since they were all from BH City and they knew their preference for food from that area, their table manners weren't full of etiquette and they ate heartedly.
”Wow, Mrs. Jiang, the bill amount won't be small,”
said Mrs. Xu, the mother of a girl student who sat at their table. She took the bill and calculated the amount roughly.
Mrs. Jiang laughed and replied, ”It's okay. It's a rare opportunity for us all to get together like this. Just eat whatever you like and don't worry about the cost.”
”Next time we will treat you, Mrs. Jiang, okay?” Seth's mother said.
Carla stayed quiet most of the time. But she did notice the change in their behavior towards her. They eyed her differently now. Their attitude to her was in total contrast from when they were on the bus.
But she didn't care. They could think about whatever they wanted.
