There were lots of people eating in that Chinese restaurant.
Jessica followed behind Louis and she knew that he would of course get a VIP box wherever he went.
However, Jessica wouldn't let him do that. She stopped him and said, "Mr. Carter, let's take a seat in the hall, it will be more bustling."
Jessica thought that the VIP box was too boring and it was so quiet when they were eating. Unlike the hall, they would hear lots of people were talking.
What's more, she was fear of Louis now since what happened to her last night. Taking a seat in the hall would make her feel safer. At least they were on the ground floor, she couldn't jump off.
Louis lifted his eyebrows and glanced at the hall and then he frowned subconsciously.
He didn't like the placed with lots of people because he thought the placed would be dirtier with more people.
Jessica didn't care about him but asked the waiter to arrange them the seat in the hall…
Finally, they got a table with a window view. Then they sat down.
Jessica ordered a hotpot that had both spicy and mild broth in one pot. Besides, she ordered a plate of vegetables which were ten times more expensive than the normal price.
When the hotpot was served, he gave a cold glance at the spicy and mild broth.
And then glanced at that green vegetables, he twitched his lips and mocked, "Are you going to eat only with the spicy broth and those vegetables? Jessica Wilson, are you a rabbit?"
She was chewing and said, "The rabbit doesn't eat spicy hotpot!"
Then what Louis ordered was served one by one.
Jessica's eyes were open widely and she was murmuring, "Beef, fish, duck, pork, mushrooms, sea cucumber…."
When she glanced at the last order, she rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Carter, Can we two eat so many side dishes?"
Louis snorted disdainfully, "It is just a hotpot. You are good for nothing if you can't finish all the dishes."
Jessica's face turned pale when she heard what he said. The implication of what he said might be that she had to pay for the meal.
"… We are just two people. Do we need to order so many side dishes?"
She was thinking that could she treat him the spicy broth and rice?
It was so rare that he was that patient, and he answered, "I don't want to be that quite."
"Quite?" She opened her eyes wide and glanced around the hall that there were lots of people eating here; it wasn't quite at all…
He pursed his lips and didn't say a word.
He might usually eat alone and that was so quite.
Therefore, he always asked the servant to make a table of dishes. Though he couldn't finish all that dishes, he didn't look that lonely.
"Freak." Jessica gave a gloomy look at him and murmured.
The table was nearly filled with dishes.
Jessica was so nervous and she kept sweating and she could feel that her balance in her bank card was decreasing.
This was the meal that she and Louis Carter had formally. But she didn't expect that it would cost her a lot.
"You said you are hungry, just eat."
He got used to giving out orders, no matter where he was, he would be always the king.
Jessica took a deep breath and blew.
Forget it. Since that she was paying the meal, she had to make it worthy…
Unexpectedly, at the moment she picked up the chopsticks, a flirtatious voice broke the peace.
"Hey, Louis, you are here too…"
Jessica would always recognize the sound.
She frowned subconsciously and her mood was even worse.
"What are the odds! I don't expect that I will see you here, Louis. Would mind me if I join?" Anna was talking to Louis while she was walking closer to them.
There was a man who looked gentle standing next to her.
Jessica glanced at the man and her fingers were trembling.
Louis lifted his eyebrows but didn't say a word.
Anna knew that Louis wouldn't embarrass her since they were both from a big family and they were well educated.
Then Anna took a seat on the right of Louis with a bright smile.
Jessica was sitting on the left of Louis.
Her face was turning darker and she was holding the chopsticks tighter.
She was thinking in mind that how could Anna be such a shameless bitch?
But actually it was all because of her shamelessness, so that the Wilsons Group could still survive. "Louis, you two won't finish so many dishes, we will help you."
After Anna finished her words, the man who stood next to her took a seat as well.
"Mr. Carter. Nice to meet you. I am Anna's friend, Terry Wright."
The man introduced himself to Louis politely and looked at Louis modestly then he glanced at Jessica but he paused for a second and he didn't say anything.
"Louis, Terry is our Chief architectural Consultant. We're here just for business."
Jessica was gooseflesh all over when she heard what Anna said.
She would never believe that Anna Wilson would cook at home!
Louis lapsed into silence for a while then he lifted his eyebrows, "When I am free…"
He elongated the word slightly on purpose and then said yes.
Jessica opened her eyes wide and she didn't expect that Louis would say something like that…
Did she hear that right?
She was Anna Wilson who got the first prize with a dirty method at the first round of the bid!
Why Louis would say yes!
But why she was forced by him to jump off the building?
Jessica gnashed her teeth when she thought of that.
And she was talking to herself in mind, "Louis Carter, you are such an asshole! You are so inhuman!"
"Really?" Anna was excited. "How about tomorrow night? I will make some dishes that I am good at for you!"
Jessica was livid and thought why she had to put up with that?
So, before Louis replied, Jessica got closer to Louis and put her arms around him like a timid and lovely bird then smiled at Anna "But Lou promised that we will see a movie tomorrow night. He can't go to your home…"
Jessica called Louis's name intimately.
She was ever gooseflesh all over by herself.
Expectedly, Anna was angry.
She stared at Jessica's arms which were around Louis fiercely.
"Lou?" Anna gnashed her teeth and asked.
Jessica giggled delightedly and got much closer to Louis's arms.
She looked up at Louis and he was looking at her. They were looking at each other's eyes…
Jessica's smile froze and thought that could he be colder?
But since she just started acting, she had to keep acting. Therefore, she braced herself to keep pretending and got into Louis arms and smiled shyly at Anna on purpose, "You don't need to feel it strange Miss Wilson. 'Lou' is the pet name for him. I think that calling him 'Lou Lou' would be too childish, so I call him 'Lou'."
She smiled innocently but Louis couldn't help twitching his lips.
Anna squinted, "Louis, why don't you stop her? Or you fell in love with her?"
