Chapter 133 Mason Schumacher
Whitney rolled her eyes at his remarks and stopped talking. Soon, she moved to the other end of the seat and played with her phone.
Nicole handed over the menu to him. “Take a look at what you want to eat. I’ve already ordered all the ones that have been ticked.”
Mason glanced at it. After finding out that she had actually ordered a lot, he shook his head. “Wow, you ordered a lot, and it’s more than enough for me.”
He closed the menu and noticed that the atmosphere was a little quiet. The two people sitting next to him didn’t intend to speak, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.
“By the way, when I first came in, I saw one of our company’s employees leave.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and said with a light smile, “Maybe she was here to eat too.”
Mason reached out and pointed at the table. After glancing around the booth, he bluntly revealed, “But I saw that she came out of your booth.”
After being exposed, Nicole shrugged indifferently and asked, “So what are you actually trying to say, President Schumacher?”
“Hey, stop calling me like that. It makes us look like strangers. Anyway, I’m just asking out of curiosity. I remember that person, Daniella Zimmer. She is a junior staff member in the design department. Although she has been with Pinnacle for a long time, it seems that she has always stayed at that level, never getting promoted or demoted.” Mason smiled. “If I remember correctly, she has a husband who is addicted to gambling and owes a lot of debt.”
“I didn’t expect you to know the people under your command quite well.” Nicole smiled, noticing Mason’s shrewdness. He was not as foolish as the outside world had made him out to be.
Mason smiled indifferently, propped his chin, and stared straight ahead.
“I’m not good at business, so I have to at least know a little bit about the other things, you know?”
Nicole didn’t care whether what Mason said was true or false. After all, it had nothing to do with her anyway.
After the two chatted for a while, the dishes came. Whitney lowered her head and concentrated on eating, completely ignoring Mason.
When Mason saw that Whitney was ignoring him, he became even more interested in her. “Beauty Whitney, it’s not fun to eat with your head down. How about we eat while chatting?”
Whitney gave him an indifferent hum.
Seeing that Whitney clearly didn’t want to talk to him, Mason didn’t keep talking.
After the three of them finished their meal, Mason didn’t stay long and he waved goodbye. “Little beauty, if there’s anything you want or need, you can call me. I promise to tell you everything I know.”
After Mason left, Whitney looked at Nicole and said, “Miss Nicole, I can feel that this man is not a good person.”
Nicole squinted and smiled. She first reached for the napkin to wipe her lips before she asked, “Why do you say so?”
Whitney placed her phone in front of Nicole—she had found something just now.
“The Schumacher Family had two sons before, and they both died in accidents, so Mason, as the illegitimate son, was brought back from the outside. Besides, Mason was also a gang member before, and quite a powerful one at that,” Whitney said, but when she continued to look into this information, she found that she couldn’t find much, as if it was deliberately erased.
Nicole understood what she meant for the most part, but it had nothing to do with her, so she only nodded. “I see. I will take precautions in the future. As long as he doesn’t try to do anything to us, let’s just not bother about him.”
After the cooperation between the Gardner Corporation and F&M Apparel was over, she would return to F&M Apparel anyway. At that time, these domestic disputes would have nothing to do with her anymore.
“Looking at him made me uncomfortable, and he was so glib too,” Whitney muttered in a low voice.
Nicole smiled while watching her complain like a child. She then put her hand on her shoulder. “What kind of people have you never met in F&M Apparel? You should just get used to it.”
Whitney considered her words. Well, she’s right, she thought. After that, she didn’t think about it anymore.
“But then, Miss Nicole, what are you going to do next?”
Nicole curled her lips, stood up, and stared straight ahead. “Well, we’ll take one step at a time and see who is the one going down first!”
