Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 824: 253: She is like a multitude of stars, shining brightly! _5
 

“Miss Thompson, how much does your dog weigh now?” The boss asked curiously.

“102.” Viola replied.

The Boss widened his eyes, “My God! No wonder it looks so fat, it weighs more than you, right?”

“Uh-huh.” Viola nodded slightly, “Just a bit more than me.”

The boss continued, “So, can you pull it along?”

“Yes,” Viola smiled faintly, “I’m quite strong.”

The Boss was deeply skeptical, after all, Viola was really skinny.

She seemed like the type who would falter even in a slight breeze.

“Can you pull it?”

“Yes.”

The Boss laughed heartily, saying nothing.

In his view, it should be the dog pulling Viola, not the other way round.

After finishing a piece of fried chicken, the dog seemed satisfied. Viola, with the dog’s leash in one hand and Ethan Viper’s in the other, continued to stroll down the street.

The dog, Bread, has a really good temperament.

It would steer clear of children, but if they weren’t afraid and wanted to play, it would join them in play, participating in games like ball or hide-and-seek.

Just when Viola was watching Bread play with the children, a voice sounded behind her, “Viola!”

Viola turned slightly.

She saw a young woman in a blue dress, with long black hair and delicate features. Lightly makeup, she looked like a white-collar worker at first glance.

She was stunned for a moment before recognizing the woman. Viola smiled faintly, “Ella.”

“Viola, when did you get back?” Delia Frieman approached with a smile.

Viola answered, “I took the flight last night.”

Delia grabbed Viola’s hand, “Viola, who’s this kid? So cute!”

“He’s my cousin.” Viola turned to Ethan, “Ethan, say hello to Ella.”

Ethan politely answered, “Ella.”

“So cute.”

Ethan looked up at Delia, “Thank you! Ella, you’re really pretty.”

Delia was all smiles, her gaze then shifted to Bread behind Viola, “Viola, is this your dog?”

“Yeah, his name is Bread.”

“Bread.”

Once Bread realized Delia meant no harm, he walked out from behind Viola and stood beside Delia.

Delia reached out to pat Bread’s head.

“Oh my God, it’s so sweet!” Delia also loved dogs.

Then, Delia turned to Viola, “Viola, let me introduce you. This is my colleague, Gehret. Gehret, this is my sister’s good friend, Viola. You know what, Viola is really awesome. She got into Capital University.”

Gehret had been eyeing Viola since she arrived. When he heard the words ‘Capital University’, he suddenly reacted, “Miss Thompson! My God! I know you!”

Who in Capital City doesn’t know about Viola?

“Hello.” Viola politely nodded.

Gehret looked at Delia, amazed, “Ella, your sister is really incredible! She’s friends with Miss Thompson!”

Hearing Gehret compliment Rachel Barton, Delia beamed a wide smile.

Rachel Barton watched this scene from not too far away.

Initially, she was going to greet Viola.

But she hadn’t expected Delia to show up suddenly, and with a colleague in tow.

What shocked Rachel the most was that Delia introduced her colleague to Viola.

Given that Delia works in a unique industry, her colleagues naturally did the same.

Even though Viola seemed to maintain a smiling facade, as if nothing had happened,

she would certainly mind the situation.

Anyone as astute as Viola would know exactly what industry Delia worked in.

Viola just didn’t want to break this facade out of respect.

But what about Delia!

She absolutely lacked self-awareness.

There were people coming and going on the square, yet she was chatting with Viola so happily.

Without thinking, one could tell that Viola must be very upset.

Who, being normal, would want a connection to a red-light district woman?

Thinking of this,

a burning embarrassment engulfed Rachel’s face, a wave of humiliation sweeping over her.

As it turned out, not only did Delia fail to detect Viola’s discomfort, but she even invited Viola to have a meal.

“Viola, I know a restaurant where dogs can also enter. We haven’t met in a while, do you want to have lunch together?”

“Sure.” Viola nodded slightly.

In fact, she admired Delia a lot.

Delia was like a wild rose.

Strong and independent.

Even if she was thrown onto barren land, she would still be able to root and survive.

It’s a pity.
