The plane landed in New York just before the evening came. They took a taxi to the hotel, put down their luggage and went to the opposite restaurant for dinner.
No one knew that Cathy was pregnant, so that Nick and Aaron Lee ordered a table of dish according to their preferences.
Looked at the dish in front of her which was both salty and spicy, Cathy swallowed silently.
She had not eaten this kind of food for a long time since she was pregnant, not because she did not like it, but for the sake of her children, she almost strictly controlled her diet.
Now, she was absolutely stimulated by the dish.
"Sister Cathy, you won't drive the car. Would you like to drink?" Although Aaron Lee just got along with her for a short time, he was much more daring than other subordinates in her department after he knew her temperament well, and he could be free to play jokes on her.
Cathy shook her head, "I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's work. You two have a drink."
As she said, she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat eagerly. Although her mouth was watering, she still pretended that she wasn't interested in the dish.
Nick also smiled and said, "Sister Cathy, you should eat more."
Aaron Lee ordered a bottle of red wine and had a drink with Nick.
Although her movement was graceful, Aaron Lee still noticed that she was abnormal for she just kept eating again and again.
"Sister Cathy, the food here suits your taste very well?"
Cathy was so absorbed in the food that she was startled by his words. She suddenly sobered up, put down her chopsticks, lowered her head and drank water to hide her abnormality. She forced a smile, "Maybe it took too much time on the plane. I'm hungry. But the food really tastes good."
Not only the food was good, but was wonderful.sour and hot taste, she had missed sour and spicy tastes for a long time.
Aaron Lee hooked his lips and put the dishes of meat in front of him to her, "Then you eat more. If not enough, we can order more."
To order more?
Hearing his words, Cathy looked around with her strange eyes and then immediately smiled stiffly, "Don't order any more. I've eaten almost all of them. You two should eat more, or you'll have some left."
At the same time, she despised herself severely in her heart. How can she eat so imprudently that she almost ignored them? When she had dinner with Aaron Lee before, she chose mild food to eat and threatened to lose weight. Was it she who break her own promise? The young man was so smart that he would discover something if she went on doing this.
Cathy was afraid that they would say something else, so she took out the napkin and wiped her mouth. Then she stood up and said, "You eat first. I'll go to the bathroom."
But she didn't know what the two subordinates were talking about after she left.
Nick smiled and ate carelessly, "Cathy must have had a good meal recently at her home. Why do I think she has gained a lot of weight during these two months?"
Aaron Lee, "......"
He wanted to say that he also thought so, but suddenly he changed his words to, "She used to be very thin?"
Nick knew that he just entered in the company for a short time. Sipping the red wine and raising his chin, he proudly showed off to him, "Our sister Cathy, is famous beauty in our company, no matter her figure or her appearance. What's more, her work performance is most excellent and she is very kind to subordinates."
As he said, he shook his head as if he was sad, "Unfortunately, I came to the company too late, and she has been married."
Aaron Lee patted him on the shoulder and sneered, "Come on, don't dream. You can not match her. But she's only two or three years older than us. It's too early to get married. Have you ever met her husband?"
