MS. TAN IS THE REAL BOSS

Chapter 1522: 1521 Eavesdropping

The second floor had fewer people, with only a few seats occupied and the rest were empty. The seat where Tan Rou and her group sat was against the wall, concealed by plenty of plants, and one wouldn’t notice them unless they walked over.

Tan Rou and her group picked out several books to place on the table, partly to shield their line of sight and partly to read. The books here were quite good and more than half were written in an international script, so Tan Rou did not feel much pressure reading them. Zhuang Liu casually picked up a book and started reading it with Tan Rou.

Although Tan Rou was reading, her attention was entirely on Monica; she wanted to hear what Monica was talking about.

“Oh, ever since you became a princess, we’ve rarely come out to eat together,” said a woman in a white long dress, “The last time we met was two months ago. You don’t reach out to us, and we dare not message you.”

Monica laughed, “We’ve been close friends for many years, you can just call me if you want to find me.”

A woman in yellow clothes said, “I called you last week, but your maid said you were busy and asked me to call you back when you were free. How would I know when you’re free?”

Monica pretended to be distressed and said, “Oh, that’s because His Royal Highness is rarely at home, and I need to handle everything. I’m so busy every day that I don’t have time to answer the phone. Don’t worry about these things, didn’t I come out to meet you this time?”

The last woman, wearing a pink top, said, “Yes, the princess is a very busy person, and it’s difficult for us ordinary people to meet you. But there’s no helping it, since you’re the princess, after all. You’re the one among us who’s mixed in the best.”

Monica was pleased to hear these words, “We’re close friends, and there’s no need to worry so much between close friends. If you need my help with anything, I’ll definitely help you. Even if I can’t help you, His Royal Highness can!”

A few women exchanged glances, and then they began to boast about Prince Busodi and Princess Monica, making Monica even happier, and her laughter echoed throughout the second floor.

Originally, there were only a few customers on the second floor, who came to the cafe seeking tranquility, not to listen to Monica’s frenzy. Once they realized the woman laughing loudly was the famous Monica, they hurriedly paid their bills and left, fearful of causing any trouble.

If Tan Rou hadn’t wanted to eavesdrop on potentially useful information, she would have left already, but her ears had been tortured for so long. Leaving now would mean that all the previous suffering was in vain, right?

Right then, their order arrived. Tan Rou thought that if they didn’t hear any useful information before they finished eating, they would pay the bill and leave.

Zhuang Liu had no objections, as he would be wherever Tan Rou was.

They ordered two desserts, one Black Forest cake and one Red Velvet cake. Looking at the cherry-topped cake adorned with fresh cherry jam, Zhuang Liu suddenly remembered something; what about his other bouquet?

He had prepared one bouquet of flowers and one of fruit. He had forgotten about it after meeting Tan Rou. Were the fruits still with Xiao Mo? He wouldn’t be carrying the insulated box shopping, would he?

“Tan Rou…” Zhuang Liu was about to speak up about it when Tan Rou interrupted him.

“Wait, I think I heard Monica and her friends plotting something.” Tan Rou perked up her ears to listen closely, “Their voices have gotten softer; they must be discussing something important.”

Oh well, Xiao Mo definitely won’t have thrown the stuff away; we’ll talk about it when we get back. Zhuang Liu thought to himself and stayed quiet.

“You want me to help your family get that piece of land?” Monica hadn’t become foolish enough to agree to anything, “Alisa, that’s a difficult task. That piece of land is coveted by the royal family. There’s no way I can help you secure it.”

Alisa was the woman in the long dress. Her husband was in real estate, but the industry had been struggling in recent years, and their company was facing a huge crisis. Thus, she came to meet Monica today with a mission.

“But aren’t you part of the royal family?” Alisa asked.
