Chapter 432

In Truman's car, as soon as Jean got in, she called Mary.

She told her not to pick her up at Betrico University, just to meet at Ebb & Flow

After she finished speaking, she looked at Truman, who was driving, thinking that his side profile was quite striking.

She said, "Mr. Simpson, thank you. I replace it hard to say no, so I'm glad you were there."

Truman gave her a quick glance, then focused back on the road. "I didn't know that was a thing, but I'm different. I say no when I need to.

"If you like something, you like it; if you don't, you don't. Be brave and say no. There's no need to go against your heart."

"I never expected that an entertainment company CEO would say such inspirational words.

"Oh well, I will leave it alone and take time to do that. Changing everything all at once is truly difficult," Jean said, gazing out the window.

Not long after, Cherise and Truman's cars arrived almost at the same time at the entrance of Ebb & Flow

As they got out of their cars and exchanged greetings, before they could even start a conversation, Mary's car also arrived.

One was Mary's travel car, and the other was for the security personnel accompanying her.

Before Mary even got out of the car, four men in black security uniforms quickly jumped out of the accompanying vehicle to surround her car.

There were quite a few people around, and to those who didn't know the car owner's identity, the scene seemed a bit too grand.

Many people wanted to take photos to share online, but after seeing the license plate, they all put their phones away. They were worried that the serious-looking men in black might confiscate their phones the next moment. Truman joked in a playful tone. "Is this entourage sure here for a date at this modest and low-key Ebb & Flow for fruit wine? It feels like we can't accommodate you-Mrs. Jarrett here."

Jean said awkwardly, "Hehe, after that time when some thug scared Grandma Mary during a park walk, Grandpa Lucas insists she bring extra security whenever she goes out. "She's gotten used to it; she's always been a bit timid and easily swayed. We're just worried she might get tricked, so please, bear with us."

Cherise raised her eyebrow and gave a soft smile as she looked at Mary's black car.

After a few minutes, the security team carefully checked the area before opening the car door for Mary to get out.

Seeing the car door open, Cherise politely walked toward the car with Jean following.

Mary stepped out of the car, looking relieved. Seeing Cherise and Jean, she quickly said, "Oh, it's such a hassle going out with all these checks everywhere. "They don't trust me at all, and my life is getting duller.

"But what is this place? Ebb & Flow, it's well-decorated for sure, but still, it's just a bar.

"What, Cherise, are your inviting an old lady like me out dancing What a surprise.

"Oh, that won't do. If Morris' grandfather replaces out, it'll be a big problem."

Truman interrupted, "No, Mrs. Jarrett, we're all very proper businessmen."

Cherise didn't deny or explain Ebb & Flow's main operations. She just smiled at Mary in front of her and said, "Grandma Mary, let's go inside."

Jean added from the side, "Yeah, Grandma Mary, I came here a couple of days ago. It's just a lounge bar, really cozy."

There were quite a few people outside, and Mary, not having much to say, reluctantly agreed, "Alright, alright then. I'll pick the place for our next outing."

"Hey, now that you mention it, this drink is really tasty, and the colors are so pretty too, red, yellow, green, purple. "It's nothing like the fruit wines I usually drink. I should definitely take a to-go cup home for my husband to try. "He's into a little drink now and then. And one of these little cakes too, please.

"Wow, the singer on stage is actually pretty good. I thought bar music was the type that hits us hard, all "boom crash," but this is really nice.

"What's this guy's name on stage? He's singing so well, nice and slow, with a great voice. It's exactly my kind of music.

"This place is surprisingly nice. I feel a lot younger and more relaxed here. I kind of want to go up and sing a song myself. Is that okay?" said Mary, half an hour later.

The three of them were sitting in a booth directly facing the stage, which gave them a great view.

Jean, who was worried that Mary wouldn't like the place earlier, found that she seemed never wanted to leave.

But Truman was quite impressive too. His cocktails really touched people's hearts and he knew how to capture people's thoughts.

Watching Truman mixing drinks at the bar, Jean had to say he was leaving quite an impression on her.

Cherise thought Mary was really cute. At this age, still so innocent, she must be someone who was well-protected and surrounded by love from her family.

So innocent that she couldn't really tell right from wrong, just like Mrs. Chivers said, she was a bit naive.

Thinking of this description, Cherise couldn't laugh.
