When Wilfred Robinson entered the restaurant, the hostess who had been waiting there for a long time
came up, bowed ninety degrees, and said, “Hello, Mr. Robinson. This way, please. The box you want is
ready, and we also have asked the chef to make the nutritious soup specially prepared for pregnant
women.”
Wilfred nodded.
Following the hostess into the box, Wilfred asked, “Excuse me, where’s your boss?”
“Our boss went to Shanghai yesterday and may not be back until two or three days later. If you have
something urgent, you can give him a call,” the hostess said decently.
Wilfred nodded.
Wilfred opened the menu and said, “Ophelia, Madeleine, order whatever you like. Make yourselves at
home. It’s for free.”
Madeleine was also blunt and ordered three dishes at one go, while Ophelia just ordered the one she
liked. It was a waste to order too much food anyway. Besides, they just finished breakfast and were not
particularly hungry. They couldn’t eat much.
Wilfred just ordered two dishes. Then he handed the menu over to the hostess and said, “Excuse me,
could you please ask the chef to make the nutritious meal faster?”
“Yes, Mr. Robinson. Please wait a moment. Your food will be served soon.” After saying that, the
hostess went out with the menu.
Wilfred gave Ophelia a look without a trace before he got back to the point, “Ophelia, who needs a
bodyguard? You or Madeleine?”
“It’s me. I came up with this idea on the spur of the moment,” Ophelia said in a somewhat distant yet
decent manner. She was instinctively defensive about people she didn’t know, so she looked like a cool
beauty. But if one got acquainted with her, he would find that she was really a sentimental and lovely
person.
Wilfred was engaged in the security business. He looked rough, but in fact, he was very considerate.
Therefore, he could still feel Ophelia’s deliberate estrangement.
“Ophelia, the family condition of your husband should be good, right?” Wilfred put away his feelings of
adoration and behaved decently. They didn’t know each other very well, plus Ophelia was already
married. If he made a great show of affection, he was afraid that they could not even be friends.
Ophelia smiled and said, “It’s not bad. We live comfortably.”
Madeleine cut them off, “Mr. Robinson, do we have to be investigated before we choose bodyguards?”
Wilfred said with a smile, “Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to investigate you. It’s just that ordinary
families will not hire bodyguards and do not have the spare money to hire bodyguards. Since you
intend to hire bodyguards, then your family condition should be pretty good. Your husband might be a
businessman or an official. Powerful people will not care about this money. As for ordinary families,
they will not spend money to no avail.”
Madeleine gave him a thumbs-up and said, “Mr. Robinson, you deserve to be a businessman. I must
say that you have good taste.”
Wilfred laughed, “It’s a basic judgment. Besides, your clothes and temperament are different from
ordinary people’s. I can tell at first glance that you are not ordinary people.”
Madeleine looked at him with admiration. She could feel that the man in front of her was not as rough
as he looked. He was also considerate. Maybe he was careless in some details of life, but he was
absolutely careful and cautious in his work. No wonder he could make his company stronger. If he
didn’t have some means, it would be impossible.
As the saying goes, men cannot be judged by their looks, and the sea cannot be measured with a
bushel. The ancients spoke very properly.
Wilfred added, “Have you encountered any difficulties? Although we have only met twice and are not
yet very familiar with each other, I value friends. As long as I regard you as my friend, I will forge ahead
unflinchingly even if I have to go through fire and water. So please let me know if you need any help. I
can do anything for you.”
Ophelia answered deftly, “Mr. Robinson, don’t worry. Nothing has happened. It’s just that Madeleine
worries about my safety. My husband is a businessman. She is afraid I will be kidnapped, so she wants
to hire a few bodyguards to keep me safe. After all, I am still pregnant and can not afford any
accidents.”
Wilfred nodded and said, “I’ll pick three bodyguards according to your situation, and I’ll show you. If you
are satisfied, we can sign a contract.”
Madeleine’s fingers regularly tapped on the table, and she said, “Mr. Robinson, it hurts feelings when it
comes to money. But it indeed damn hurts feelings, when it does not come to money. How much do
you charge for a bodyguard? I tell you in advance that we will pay as much as the usual guests. If you
are not sincere, we will not hire your bodyguards anymore.
Wilfred laughed, “Madeleine, seriously, I rarely see women like you. Others who make friends with me
are more or less trying to get some benefits from me, but you insist on paying the net price. You are my
true friend. Don’t worry. I will give you a reasonable price.”
Madeleine raised the glass and said, “Mr. Robinson, I’d like to thank you on behalf of Ophelia.”
Wilfred looked at Ophelia, who also raised her glass, and said, “Mr. Robinson, thank you, just toast with
water.”
Then the three of them drank the glass of water in one gulp.
