Chapter 1825: 439: Showdown between two bosses! Blow her up!_5

Isla Astir certainly knew what Mandel Thompson wanted to express and continued, "Please rest assured, Boss Thompson, I will definitely report my itinerary to you clearly in the future."

"Good," Mandel Thompson added, "What else?"

What else?

Isla Astir’s face flushed, "I like you too."

It was indeed difficult to utter such words.

But facing the one she liked, it didn’t seem so hard to speak.

Moreover, Isla Astir found that she truly liked Mandel Thompson a lot.

Mandel Thompson was satisfied, "Miss Astir, let’s video chat later."

"Okay."

"After I return from the social event."

"Mm."

Mandel Thompson seemed to want to say something more, but just then, a knock came from outside the door, "Brandon, are you ready? We can leave now."

Hearing the voice from the other end, Isla Astir hastily said, "You better go, they’re all urging you."

"Mm, hanging up." Mandel Thompson ended the call.

After hanging up, Mandel Thompson reached out to open the door, "Ready."

Mary Perryne saw that Mandel Thompson was still wearing the same suit and curiously asked, "Aren’t you going to change your clothes?"

"I’m not going to meet a girlfriend," Mandel Thompson said.

Mary Perryne nodded with a smile, "You have a point."

Then, Mary Perryne realized that if Mandel Thompson had not changed clothes, why had he locked himself in the room for such a long time?

Mary Perryne looked at her eldest son’s back, filled with curiosity, but she didn’t ask.

She knew she should interfere less in her child’s matters.

At the Summer family.

Jean Beckman was the protagonist of the day, wearing a haute couture gown from a luxury brand.

The Summer couple stood at the entrance welcoming guests, their faces brimming with smiles.

Felicity Henington stood beside Jean Beckman, "Jean, do you think Mandel Thompson will come tonight?"

Jean Beckman smiled, "He probably won’t, right?"

"I bet he will," Felicity Henington continued, "After all, you’re his saudade. Do you know what kind of person is the most unforgettable to a man?"

"What?" Jean Beckman asked curiously.

Felicity Henington replied with a smile, "Someone like you, a saudade that is loved but unattainable. Mandel Thompson likes you so much, how could he miss such an opportunity? Besides, didn’t you say your parents get along very well?"

Jean Beckman just smiled without saying a word.

Mandel Thompson’s image lingered in her mind.

She had always thought he was just a passerby; she had not expected Mandel Thompson to have changed so much.

People always like beautiful things.

Jean Beckman was no exception.

Since Mandel Thompson loved her deeply, she could give him a chance.

Over the years, Jean Beckman had met many people.

She had several boyfriends too.

Those men, either rich but ugly or handsome but penniless.

Finding a good-looking, wealthy man was indeed too hard.

Otherwise, Jean Beckman wouldn’t still be single.

Felicity Henington, linking arms with Jean Beckman, went on, "Jean, Mandel Thompson is really great! Not only is he handsome, but he also comes from such a good family background, he’s practically the ideal husband."

Jean Beckman’s tone was indifferent, "There are plenty of men who are more outstanding than Mandel Thompson."

The subtext was that she wasn’t impressed by Mandel Thompson.

A girl should always be reserved; she shouldn’t throw herself at a guy.

Felicity Henington sighed, "Jean, you’re just born lucky. To us ordinary people, Mandel Thompson is already the ceiling. I wouldn’t even dare to dream of being with someone like him!"

Jean Beckman’s lips curled into a smile, "Whether he will come is still uncertain."

Just as her words fell, she spotted a familiar figure amongst the crowd.

Just as Felicity Henington had said.

Mandel Thompson had come.

It seemed that Mandel Thompson was indeed madly in love with her.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come chasing after her to the Summer family’s event.

With this thought, Jean Beckman’s mouth turned up slightly.

Mandel Thompson was indeed infatuated.

At that moment, Felicity Henington excitedly said, "Look, look! Your admirer has arrived!"

Jean Beckman looked into the crowd, pretending not to see Mandel Thompson, "Are you sure you’re not mistaken? After all these years, he might have long forgotten me."

Felicity Henington replied, "Isn’t that him there! The lady with Mandel Thompson, that’s his mother, right?"

Only then did Jean Beckman see Mandel Thompson and said in surprise, "He really did come!"

Felicity Henington smiled, "I told you he would definitely come! You didn’t believe me!"

Jean Beckman covered her mouth and chuckled, "I just found it unbelievable. I didn’t expect that, after so many years, he would still remember me."
