Chapter 811

After lunch, Amelia and Carter returned to their offices and buried their heads in work until the evening.

Amelia was packing her things, about to take the elevator, when her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and saw an unknown number flashing across the screen.

With hesitation, she took the call.

Is this Amelia? I'm Derrick's mother." A pleasant woman's voice came from the other end.

Surprise flashed across Amelia's eyes. I didn't expect Mrs. Hisson to call me.

"Hi, Mrs. Hisson. May I know the reason for your call?" Amelia asked courteously.

"It's nothing much. I just want to invite you and Oscar for dinner. Tiffany and Derrick are coming too," Kate explained.

Amelia was confused. With Mrs. Hisson's disposition, she wouldn't invite Oscar and me for dinner without a good reason. Something is up. At that thought, Amelia's guard went up.

"Mrs. Hisson, may I know the reason for your sudden invitation to dinner?" she probed.

"I realized my attitude toward you and Oscar in the past was terrible. As an apology, I want to invite both of you over for dinner. Will you be willing to accept this offer of olive branch? I hope you won't reject me," Kate asked gently.

'All right," Amelia had no choice but to agree when Kate put it that way.

'The dinner will be held at Room 209 of Hotel Van Hutton at seven in the evening tomorrow. Please come on time," Kate insisted.

Got it. Oscar and I will be there at seven sharp."

“I'll see you tomorrow then.’

After hanging up the phone, Amelia put her phone back into her purse in puzzlement and took the elevator with Jolin.

Oscar helped Amelia with her seat belt after she got into the passenger seat and caught her confused look. "What's wrong? Did someone give you a difficult time?"

Amelia chuckled. "No, I got a call from Mrs. Hisson earlier. She invited us for dinner. We have zero association with her, so I'm worried she's using us to cause trouble for Tiff."

Oscar laughed and brushed the tip of her nose lovingly. "Tiff is not a three-year-old, silly. She's not going to fall into the woman's trap so easily. Don't overthink it. If you want to know what Mrs. Hisson is up to, we'll go to the dinner tomorrow."

Amelia nodded.
