Of course, Reiss had heard what Joanna said. However, she made no comment on it to avoid awkwardness.
Samantha cracked a flattering smile and said, “You’re here, Ms. Reiss”
Samantha and Reiss were not well acquainted with each other, after all, and thus she addressed Reiss in a polite manner. It was the way she greeted a stranger.
Reiss nodded silently in reply.
“Take a seat, everyone. The food will be served shortly” Noticing that the ambiance was getting slightly awdward, Rue hastily came to mediate. At the same time, she glared at Joanna and reprimanded softly, “Stop spouting nonsense!”
Joanna pursed her lips and said, “How would I know she’d be here so soon…”
However, it was not a big issue because it was apparent that Reiss was not planning on making a fuss out of it.
These people sat around the table. The food was soon served and everyone began to eat. Chuck suddenly noticed Jeno sitting next to Rue and could not refrain from asking, “By the way, Mdm. Rue. Who’s this little girl? I noticed her earlier but I forgot to ask”
Rue said, “This is my youngest daughter
“You must be joking.”
Chuck was rendered speechless. He said, “Mdm Rue, I know Ada. Did she get plast
get plastic surgery or something?”
Joanna burst out laughing. Juno raised her head and cracloed a smile at Chuckas she said, “I’m Juno Xander ”
“Juno Xander?” Chuck was stunned. He had only been imprisoned in Prison 1 for two years, yet he had no idea that Rue had another daughter.
Samantha chuckled and said, “Stop teasing him, Mother, Chubbs, her name is actually funo Byrd. Mother adapted her.”
Then, Samantha told Chuck about Juno’s story and Chuck was enlightened upon hearing it.
He said, “Uh, Juno Bryd, was it? I’m really sorry about that. I didn’t mean to bring it up.”
Juno smiled and said, “It’s fine. It’s all in the past. However, you may address me as Juno Xander. My last name is Xander.”
Jano wanted to change her last name to repay Rue for her kindness, but the latter had been reluctant to approve all this time.
Chuck said. “All right then. Juno, from now on, you’re my younger sister.
Juno beamed. “This is great! I have another older brother!”
The group burst out laughing.
Joanna stood up and raised her glass. “Come, let’s toast to Chubb’s new life! We will not go home until we’re drunk!”
“I’ll have a drink too!” Samantha raised her plass as well.
Chuck and Reiss por to their feet, glasses in hand.
Samantha said courteously, “Stay over at iny place first if you have one too many deals tonight.
“Also, Adrian, you have my permission to drink,” Samantha said.
Adrian nudded, raised has glass, and said, “All right. Drink to your heart’s content. I’ll send you guys home later.”
Joanna glared at Adrian. “I won’t be at ease if you’re the one sending me home, I’m sa beautiful. What if you behave indecently when I’m drunk?”
Upon hearing that, Adrian said, “Olay, you’re the exception then. I’ll only send Sam home.”
“That won’t do. If you don’t send me home, where will I go after I’m drunk? What if I end up dead on the streets? Wouldn’t
that be a huge loss for you?” Joanna said
“So, do you want me to send you home or not?”
“You’re going to send the home, of course. It’d he better to end up in bed with you than a stranger,” said Joanna
Adrian was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry from being teased by the woman.
Samantha knew Joanna very well because they were best friends and did not reprimand her.
