“No need. I’m not in a hurry to leave. Someone will pick me up later.”

Madison rejected him gently. She was not familiar with Ronnie.

Moreover, the Wilkinson family’s matter was also a little complicated.

Cullen did not have a good relationship with Ronnie, the person in charge of the Wilkinson family. Although she was not considered a close friend of Cullen, they had played together when they were kids. She even owed Cullen a favor, so she did not want to get too close to the person in front of her, or it would be a betrayal to Cullen.

However, to her surprise, the man in front of her seemed to want to catch up with her.

After being rejected by Madison, Ronnie did not leave. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. “At this time, it’s still two hours before work ends. It’ll take another hour to drive on the road. It’ll take three hours to wait for the person to pick you up. Of course, if you called a taxi or a tow truck, you should have to wait for an hour. Miss Hale, are you planning to stand here for an hour?”

“I will go back to Rose Garden and stay there for a while.”

Madison locked the car and smiled politely at Ronnie.

Ronnie also smiled. “Why don’t we have a time together? Miss Hale grew up in Sidovor City and should be more familiar with Rose Garden. I wonder if you can recommend a few signature dishes.”

“It’s improper to have a meal with you, I work in Rose Garden and there is a place for employees to rest. As for the signature dishes, I can recommend some to you. If you’re eating alone, just order a few. Otherwise, it’ll be a waste if you can’t finish them. It won’t taste good to pack them up and bring them back.”

Madison led him back to Rose Garden and rejected his invitation.

She was not too familiar with Ronnie. She only had a fleeting glimpse of him when she was young. It was when they were at school. He and Cullen lived in the Cox family’s house. The Cox family’s driver picked up Chuck and Wilkinson’s kids. She and Chuck had been classmates for years, so it was inevitable that she would meet Ronnie.

After that, she had no idea what happened to the Wilkinson family. Ronnie was brought back to Aeng City, but Cullen continued to stay in Sidovor City and studied with Chuck. Then he almost broke up with Ronnie.

After that, she didn’t hear much about the dramas between these wealthy families. She couldn’t even take care of herself. Her identity had been a huge gossip already, let alone

pry into other people’s family matters. She only knew that Cullen and Chuck went overseas together. One went to study computer science while the other majored in medicine. She didn’t know anything more.

As for Ronnie, who was brought back to the Wilkinson family, she almost knew nothing about him.

When they arrived at the hall of Rose Garden, Madison pretended to have something on and left. “Ronnie, please suit yourself. I’ll go elsewhere first. The signature dishes will be marked on the menu. The food here is all delicious. I believe we won’t let you down. I’m leaving. Enjoy your meal.”

“I heard from Chuck that you said you wanted to treat him to a meal at the hospital. He’ll be here in a while. There’s no better time than the present. Why don’t we have a dinner today? He hasn’t been back for long. It’s a good time. Everyone can get together.”

Ronnie did not intend to let her leave just like that. When he stopped in his tracks with her, he continued to speak and blocked her path of escape.

Madison was stunned. “He is convenient today?”

Without Ronnie’s reminder, she would have almost forgotten about Chuck’s meal.

She had casually mentioned it at the hospital. It was not a serious promise. She transferred the fees to Chuck. How could she remember her l*p service?

However, since Ronnie had mentioned it, Madison had no excuse to leave. Moreover, that nurse, also Chuck’s student, was cyberbullied because she had taken a photo with her. That made Madison more guilty. She had to treat them to a meal today.

“Then I’ll get a private room for us. Let’s go over and order first. How about we wait for him to come before serving?”

Ronnie accepted. “Alright, then I’ll take advantage of my cousin today to enjoy a dinner here. Thank you, Miss Hale.”

Madison shook her head. “You’re welcome.”

She led Ronnie into the private room and introduced a few dishes to him before handing over the menu. Of course, she didn’t forget Chuck, who was still on the way. She sent a photo and asked him to choose the dishes he liked. He probably really wanted to cost her a lot. Chuck ordered the most expensive dishes, all of which took long to cook.

Madison even joked with Chuck that he was really rude. He had just lent her 40 dollars. But it cost her so much to return his favor.

Chuck said confidently and snorted on the phone, “Girl, you scared my student.

Shouldn’t you treat her to a good meal? Let me tell you, I brought her here today. Can you not be so stingy in front of her?”

Madison clicked her tongue. “What do you mean? What have I done? It’s the fault of your hospital’s major shareholder’s fiancée. Why are you blaming me? That’s not fair. But for the sake of that girl, I’m willing to pay the bill.”

She was a little surprised that Chuck would bring the young nurse out. Anyway, it was a good thing. Sally’s drama had yet to subside. Her crazy fans would come to scare this nurse anytime.

Moreover, since things had turned out this way, she probably wouldn’t be able to focus on her work for the time being. As her mentor in the hospital, Chuck’s work would probably also be affected. It was a joy for both of them to have a grand dinner. They would treat it as a vacation time. After all, it was rare that a cardiac surgeon would have time to come out for a meal.

Because he was not familiar with Ronnie, Madison had been hanging up the phone with Chuck. She was waiting for the dishes while waiting for them, so the atmosphere would not be too awkward.

They chatted until Chuck was about to arrive before the call had to be hung up.

The private room fell silent. Madison picked up the cup and poured some beverage for the person opposite her. Then, Ronnie opened his mouth. “I heard you say that you’re working at Rose Garden. I wonder if we can directly have a meal here without booking in the future. It’s really difficult to book a seat at your restaurant.”

There was a rule that some guests could go straight to a private room for a meal. However, most of the time Ronnie was not in Sidovor City, so he did not understand the rules there. It was indeed difficult to book a seat here.

“You can. I’ll tell the boss and give you a VIP card.”

Madison had studied cooking in Rose Garden in her early years. Edgar once had given her a lot of financial help and she shared many of them with Greg, now Mr. Holland. Rose Garden could not have been developed without her previous investment. No matter what, she could be considered a major shareholder of Rose Garden. She still had the right to save a room for her guests.

Ronnie Wilkinson was a big shot in business. If she could develop such a new loyal customer, that would be a boon for Rose Garden.

Ronnie raised his eyebrows. “Wow! Normally if we show up with you a lot of times, then the workers here will all know us and then we can have a seat whenever we like. I thought it would be that way. I didn’t expect Miss Hale to be so helpful. You’re quite

generous.

“I

Madison waved her hand. “I’m afraid I couldn’t take you here anymore. I’ll leave Sidovor City soon. There’s a reason for me to work here. Now that I’m done with my work, there’s no reason for me to stay any longer. So, I’m afraid there’s no other way.”

Ronnie was surprised. “Leaving soon?”
