Carolyn pinched on her arm to keep her mind clear, took a sip of the lemon water in front of her and asked, "Herbert didn't bother you, did he?"
Ellis gave her a reassuring look, "Yes, and he wouldn't dare to harass you again."
Although she didn't know how Ellis did it, these words gave Carolyn a full sense of security. "Thank you." She handed the menu to Ellis. "Feel free to order whatever you want to eat." Just after saying this, her eyes widened. With a casual glance, a plate of Western Bluebonnets to more than a hundred, but fortunately this meal discount.
Carolyn's expression was all seen by Ellis, he held back his laughter, couldn't help but want to tease her, but afraid to scare her. He only ordered two vegetarian dishes and two pasta dishes, adding up to less than eighty. Carolyn's heart was warmed by the fact that the man in front of her was not only handsome but also very caring. She added an extra portion of sea bass.
Before the dishes were brought up, Ellis found a topic to ask Carolyn how her work was.
Carolyn said honestly, "All my colleagues are very busy, no one is taking me to get familiar with the business. I can only familiarize myself with the company's products first, and then check the previous partners to see which products can be marketed. By the way, my supervisor Scott is a bad guy. Last time, he conspired with Herbert to trick me into going to Y&X Hotel. The next day he was bruised and swollen, he said he was beaten up by a man named Mr. Dart and asked me to plead for him. It's strange, he wouldn't think that I asked that Mr. Dart to beat him up, right?"
Ellis looked at Carolyn's serious manner of telling the story. Her red lips seemed like two dewy flower petals, which aroused his urge to kiss them. Ellis picked up the cup and drank a large mouthful of lemon water to suppress the restlessness inside.
The fragrant meal was thoughtfully brought up by the waiter, the plate was as dazzling as a piece of art, no wonder the pricing was so expensive.
Ellis handed Carolyn a spoon, and his tone seemed to be doting, "It's good that no one is bullying you. Take your time with the rest. Let's eat first. Do you want to take pictures?"
"Huh?" Carolyn briefly froze and felt a little embarrassed, "Okay." Then she got up and sat next to Ellis, took out her phone ...
This time it was Ellis's turn to be puzzled, after understanding it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I mean do you want to take a picture with the food. Don't you girls like to take pictures before eating?"
Carolyn was instantly embarrassed, and her toes wanted to pick out a small house on the floor so she could get in. She sat back in her seat as fast as she could, lowering her head and just eating. Ellis is still laughing, thinking that Carolyn is too cute, and only after he calmed down did he suddenly realize that his behavior just now was too straightforward, and that he should have gone along with the water to push the boat.
Until the end of the meal, Carolyn did not look at him again. After checking out, she also looked away, with a faint embarrassment and said, "I'll go first, bye."
"Let me take you back, okay?" How happy he was laughing just now, how chagrined he is at this moment.
"No, thank you. The bus goes straight to my house, bye." Carolyn trotted away.
......
When Carolyn returned home, Betty hugged her arm and said playfully, "Wow, I envy you. You have a dinner date every night."
Carolyn didn't want to worry Betty, so she didn't tell Betty about the night she was almost violated. Tonight's meal was not pleasant either. The taste of the food was all washed away by the embarrassment, but the good news is that the discount is not bad. Carolyn smiled and said, "Actually, I owe him a favor, and he helped me advance the money. So it's only right that I provide him with meals."
"But this man came up with this method most likely to create an opportunity to see you." Betty winked.
Carolyn blushed, she had actually thought so.
Betty continued, "And you don't resent this man, otherwise why don't you just transfer money. How far has your relationship progressed now?" Betty cheeks gleefully ready to listen to the story.
Carolyn smiled shyly and told Betty what happened between her and Ellis.
