Chapter 232 On My Treat
"Welcome, Amy Newell, my friend!" before the dinner, Philip had also done a lot of research about her.
However, he didn't get much information about Amy. What he could get was only some information
about her when she was in France during the past five years.
Amy didn't have any special hobby. She was only crazy about working and work took up almost all of
her time. Besides, it seemed that she had a son who was now 4 years old. Both Amy and her son had
been living aboard before. But it was because of Dalton's illness that she came back here.
And Amy also seemed to love tea and spicy food. So Philips got prepared for these.
"Mr. Philip, it's a great honor for me to have dinner with you tonight." Amy replied formally and then she
handed him the set of Go.
"Oh, that's what I want! Thank you, Amy. Both you and your dad are so considerate." Philip looked
quite happy when taking the set of Go. He loved playing Chinese Go most and he was also good at it.
"What about playing Go for a while after dinner?" Philip suggested.
"Okay, but Mr. Philip, I have found someone to play Go with you. So after dinner, it should be a nice
moment to have a try." Amy smiled.
Actually, she didn't believe that Richard was that sophisticate in Go as he once claimed himself to be.
As Philip was also famous for his skills in playing Go, so she only hoped that Richard wouldn't be
defeated so soon.
As they entered the private box and Allison saw Richard at the same time, she was stunned and
wondered why Richard now stayed with Amy.
Richard was also a bit surprised when seeing Allison. But he still looked calm as usual. Since Amy lost Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
part of her memory, he stood in front of her out of instinct.
"What happened?" Amy turned to ask him as she assumed there might be something special.
"Nothing. Watch yourself and don't bump yourself on the chair." Richard moved the chair in front of her
a bit.
"Richard." It had been five years since Allison saw Richard last time. She had been facing an old man
for five years, which really exhausted her.
"Miss Field, what's the matter?" Richard addressed her as if she were just a stranger.
"Richard, now she is known as Mrs. Philip." Amy corrected him as Richard didn't attend the meeting
that day. So he didn't know that Allison had married Philip already.
"Oh, Mrs. Philip, what can I do for you?" Richard corrected the address immediately.
"Allison, you know him?" Philip asked. When noticing the change of her expression when she saw
Richard, Philip could tell that they must be acquainted with each other before.
"Yeah, we know each other. I used to be his best friend. But everything has changed since I left five
years ago." Allison sat beside Philip while holding his hand.
"Oh, you are both friends before. What a coincidence. Come on, take a seat please." Philip beckoned
everyone present to sit down.
Seeing that all kinds of her favorite dishes were placed on the table, Amy could tell that Philip really
attached great importance to this dinner. And he had done a lot of research about her.
"Well, Mr. Philip, I am so flattered. All dishes here are my favorite. Thank you." Amy expressed her
gratitude to him.
"Alright, I am glad you like the food. Come on, just enjoy yourself. You don't have to be formal." Philip
said straightforwardly.
So both Amy and Richard started to enjoy the dishes and so did Philip and Allison. Richard began to
peel off shrimp and crab for Amy. During the past five years when Amy went missing, Richard always
peeled off shrimps himself and filled them in a bowl. After that, he talked to the bowl filled with shrimp
alone, "Amy, I know that's what you love the most. Come back to have some shrimps."
So as time went by, he turned to be adept at peeling off shrimps.
Soon, Amy's bowl was filled with shrimps. She was quite excited when seeing that as she loved
seafood the most.
It had always been a troublesome stuff for her to peel off shrimps herself as she needed to take care of
Allen at the same time. Now she felt free and enjoyable as Richard served her abundant peeled
shrimps.
Seeing that, Allison felt so jealous. She didn't even know when they had actually restored their
relationship. At the thought of that, she deemed Amy a scheming one. She assumed that Amy was still
pretending to be innocent in front of Richard.
"Honey, why don't you enjoy the food?" Philip noticed that Allison had been fixing her eyes on Amy and
he was a bit confused. Though Amy was pretty and gorgeous, she was just a lady.
"Oh, I really appreciate their loving relationship." Allison hurried to explain nervously.
"Hey, stop talking nonsense." Philip talked to her sternly. He couldn't even get any information about
Amy's lover during his research.
Allison looked at him and was surprised when seeing his sullen face. She was wondering if she said
something wrong to get this old man mad.
"He is not my husband. He is my assistant." Amy explained to her. She could tell that Allison seemed to
care about Richard a lot. Though she had no idea what the story was between them, she still deemed it
necessary to explain.
Hearing her explanation, Richard didn't feel upset. Instead, he was determined to work harder to win
her heart.
"Your assistant?" Allison almost dropped the chopsticks on the ground. She couldn't believe that
Richard, the president of HD Group, was actually working as her assistant.
"Yeah." Amy felt a bit weird when seeing her startled face. In her point of view, Richard was abandoned
by his father, Halbert Carter, the former president of HD Group. So she offered him a job by chance.
She even deemed that it should be a great favor for Halbert.
But now Allison looked so weird as if Amy were maltreating Richard.
"Honey, you look bad. Do you feel sick?" Philip also noticed that Allison looked a bit weird today. He
was confused as Allison had always been restrained and decent.
"If you feel bad, what about going back home and having a rest now?" Philip said to her caringly.
"Honey, it's okay. I was just a bit thrilled when meeting the old friend. So I might look a bit indecent
today. Sorry, honey, I just peeled off a shrimp for you. Have a try." Allison then put the peeled shrimp
into his bowl.
Seeing that, Amy took a look at Richard, who was also looking at her at the same time.
She could tell from his keen eyes that he might have feelings for her.
Then Amy took a shrimp and put it into Richard's mouth.
