Chapter 1442:
The moment the words left her mouth, a man’s voice called out from a short distance away.
“Are you Ms. Hewitt p>
Annabel looked up and saw a middle-aged man. His appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were sharp—so sharp it felt as if he could see right through her.
“You must be Director Sherman Gordon. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Annabel said with a smile.
With a stoic expression, Sherman shook her hand. “I’ve always wanted to meet the boss of Star Entertainment. Seeing you today is truly eye-opening. Ms. Hewitt has achieved so much at such a young age. I really admire you p>
“I’m flattered, Director Gordon, but I’m nothing compared to you,” Annabel replied.
They exchanged polite compliments, each holding their own private judgments. Sherman smiled at Annabel, then shifted his gaze to Margo.
“Is this Miss Perez p>
Hearing her name, Margo stiffened. She forced herself to stay composed and smiled. “Hello, Director Gordon p>
Sherman nodded and glanced toward the nearby food stalls. “I used to come to this Japanese pub often. I didn’t expect it to turn into a food stall—I haven’t been here for a few months. I’m sorry. I truly didn’t know p>
Annabel merely smiled, saying nothing, and waited for what he would say next.
After a moment of thought, Sherman rubbed his chin. “Ms. Hewitt, Miss Perez, if you don’t mind, let’s talk here p>
Unlike Annabel, Margo looked genuinely startled. “What? Here p>
“Yes, here. Is there a problem?” Sherman asked in a serious tone.
Regaining her composure, Margo quickly waved her hand. “No, no, no. There’s no problem. I’ve been to several food stalls here, and the food is good p>
Dunn used to take Margo out for midnight snacks, and he had discovered plenty of famous spots. Ever since she started dating him, Margo had gained quite a bit of weight.

Sherman hadn’t expected her answer. He shot her a meaningful look.
The three of them walked in, but they clearly didn’t blend into the atmosphere. After all, who wore formal clothes to a food stall?
Perhaps because of her love for food, Margo gradually forgot her nerves. Her eyes kept drifting to the tables around them.
At last, they found an empty table. A waiter immediately brought over the menu. Sherman naturally ordered what he wanted.
When he looked up, he caught Margo staring at him, as if she wanted to say something. He paused briefly, then said, “Order whatever you want. It’ll be better that way p>
Even so, Margo didn’t dare order freely.
She still believed that making a good first impression on Sherman was crucial. But hunger had a way of making people act differently.
She hadn’t eaten lunch because of her overwhelming workload. Now that she was sitting at a food stall, her stomach was practically screaming. Margo leaned toward Annabel and whispered something in her ear.
