In the evening, when it was almost time to leave work, Anna, who had already changed her clothes, brought in two cups of coffee. She handed one to Hazel Allison and then the other to Jackson Vance.
Then, right in front of Jackson Vance, she said sincerely, "I'm really sorry for accidentally causing Miss Allison to get hurt. Let me make it up to her by treating her to dinner this evening. Vance, you're welcome to join us."
Upon hearing this, Hazel Allison immediately knew that this little vixen was trying to flirt with her man right in front of her!
Using her as an excuse?
Dream on.
"It's alright, Anna. No need to go to such an expense. I've already reserved a table at Hoehler restaurant to have dinner with Edward tonight."
Hoehler is a Michelin three-star restaurant, and it's not just expensive; getting a reservation is also a major challenge.
Just one meal there could easily cost Anna her entire month's salary.
