Never Late, Never Away Chapter 628
“Don’t be in such a hurry.” Hunter laughed. “Let’s wait for the food to be served and then we can chat.”
Having heard what Hunter said, Vivian stopped herself when she was about to take her material out from her bag. “Alright. We will start later then.” As Hunter was the interviewee today, he had the prerogative to decide how it was going to be done.
“Vivian, today seems to be the first time we are meeting for work, isn’t it?” Hunter looked at Vivian with a gentle smile.
“That’s right.” Vivian returned his smile. “Also, I just got to know that you are a famous lawyer.”
“Is that so? Do I not usually look like one?” Hunter put on a serious face on purpose, causing Vivian to burst into laughter.
When he saw Vivian’s smile, Hunter felt as if his heart was melted by it. “Therefore, to commemorate our first business exchange, I have a gift for you.”
Hunter snapped his fingers when he finished and a waiter brought out a bouquet of flowers from underneath the kitchen trolley.
“Ms. Morrison, Mr. Yates would like to present you with these flowers.” The waiter bowed and put the flowers beside Vivian.
When she saw the fresh roses in front of her, Vivian gave Hunter a frantic look. She wondered what he was up to and why did he choose red roses on purpose.
Raising his hands to dismiss the waiter, Hunter retrieved a gift box from his pocket and opened it. Inside it was a diamond necklace. Illuminated by the candlelight, its sparkle dazzled the eyes.
Pushing the necklace toward her, Hunter remarked in a gentle tone, “When I was choosing it, I found that this design is perfect for you. I wonder if you like it?”
“This is just an ordinary interview and it’s not like we don’t know each other. Hence, there’s no need for you to be so generous.” Vivian pushed the necklace back. “This gift is simply too expensive for me to accept.”
“Perhaps it’s just an ordinary interview for you. But, it means something very different to me,” Hunter remarked as he stared at Vivian longingly.
“What do you mean by this?” Vivian’s expression darkened as she knew Hunter wouldn’t present her with something so valuable for no reason.
