Chapter 1855: 445: Surprise_4

Isla Astir frowned subtly, "Have you also eaten with other girls?"

"Mandel Thompson nodded. He had indeed accompanied his younger sister Viola Thompson to eat several times before.

Hearing it was Viola Thompson who liked to eat hot and spicy soup, Isla’s face lit up with a smile, "I didn’t expect Miss Thompson to be so down-to-earth!"

She had thought Viola Thompson was a lady who only frequented Michelin restaurants!

To her surprise, Viola Thompson also enjoyed hot and spicy soup.

She felt like she had gotten one step closer to her idol.

Mandel Thompson continued, "I went with my little sister. Am I not down-to-earth?"

How could he not be praised like Viola Thompson!

Isla teased, "How can you compare yourself to Miss Thompson?"

Mandel Thompson: ...

He suspected that Isla was dating him because of Viola Thompson.

Her real target must be Viola Thompson!

Isla went on, "I know a place that serves really delicious hot and spicy soup, I’ll take you there. But it might be a bit far!"

"How far?" asked Mandel Thompson.

"It’s near our school," Isla replied.

"I don’t have much to do today anyway, and it’s quick by car," said Mandel Thompson.

Isla nodded, "Okay then."

The two drove to the vicinity of Isla’s school. Mandel Thompson found a place to park, and then they walked towards Food Street, looking just like a couple of college sweethearts.

For a moment, Mandel Thompson felt as if he had returned to his college days.

The feeling was quite extraordinary.

It had been eight years since he graduated with his master’s degree.

How time flies.

It was mealtime, and the place was crowded. They waited a bit before finding an empty seat.

Isla looked at Mandel Thompson and teased, "Eating in such a place, can Boss Thompson stomach it?"

"I can," Mandel Thompson replied with a smile. "So, Miss Astir will have to compensate me for emotional damages."

Soon, the cooked hot and spicy soup was served.

Mandel Thompson tasted it, "It’s really good."

"Of course," Isla said with a laugh. "Didn’t Boss Thompson know? The best food is often hidden near university towns."

Mandel Thompson followed up, "I’ll bring my little sister next time."

The smile on Isla’s face grew even wider, "If Miss Thompson likes it, then this place will definitely suit her taste."

Felicity Henington was bringing some living expenses to her brother in college today and decided to buy him something to eat on the way.

So she went with her brother to get something to eat near the school.

As they walked towards the hot and spicy soup restaurant, Felicity Henington spotted a familiar figure.

Holy sh*t!

Wasn’t that Mandel Thompson?

Who was the girl opposite Mandel Thompson?

As Felicity Henington stayed motionless, her brother Zico Henington curiously asked, "Sis, what are you looking at?"

Felicity Henington kept her face impassive and replied, "I saw an acquaintance. I’m going to say hello, you go find a seat first."

"Okay," Zico nodded.

While sending a message to Jean Beckman, Felicity Henington walked over to Mandel Thompson.

"Mandel Thompson?"

On hearing her, Mandel Thompson looked up slightly, "Felicity Henington."

Felicity Henington looked at Isla Astir opposite Mandel Thompson and continued, "Is this your girlfriend?"

"Yes," Mandel Thompson introduced proactively: "My girlfriend Isla Astir. Isla, this is my high-school classmate, Felicity Henington."

Felicity Henington hadn’t expected she would actually be Mandel Thompson’s girlfriend.

Felicity Henington narrowed her eyes.

Wasn’t it said that Mandel Thompson was lovestruck?

Did he only like Jean Beckman?

Where did this Isla Astir pop up from?

Anyone as close to Mandel Thompson was far from ordinary.

It seemed this woman was quite cunning!

But, did she know about Jean Beckman’s existence?

Isla watched Felicity Henington with a polite smile and greeted her, "Hello."

"Hello," Felicity Henington glanced at Isla, then turned back to Mandel Thompson, "CEO Thompson, unless I’m mistaken, your high-school crush was Jean Beckman, wasn’t it? Just yesterday in our class group, we were speculating whether you would end up with Jean Beckman! I didn’t expect you to have a new girlfriend so quickly!"

Isla Astir and Jean Beckman were not the same type of beauty.

Felicity Henington’s words carried a hint of instigation. Isla maintained her smile as she looked at Felicity Henington, and spoke lightly, "Everyone needs to watch a few movies in their lifetime. Miss Beckman was merely a film that has ended in Brandon’s life, and it’s quite surprising that Miss Henington still remembers it after so long."

Felicity Henington was stunned!

What a sharp tongue!

She narrowed her eyes, furious. This Isla Astir, she actually dared to speak about Jean Beckman like that.
