Gregory replied with a laugh, “I saw how you packed it away at Southon
Village. I don’t think you have a big appetite at all. I probably eat more than you.”
As if she didn’t want the waiter to hear her, she covered her face with the menu and approached Gregory whispering, “I’m a hundred percent sure

Back then, Carlos was having dinner with his business partners on the fifth floor of Alioth Building. He called her over, and ordered a full table of dishes for her in another private booth.

Debbie burst into laughter.
“Are you throwing shade at Colleen right now?” she joked.

A man entered the restaurant, followed by a woman in a long beige coat.
