Kieran and I had left the company. However, he suddenly had something urgent to deal with, and he brought me along with him. By the time he handled all the affairs, it was already dark.
My tummy started to rumble. Since Kieran was still giving orders to his subordinates, I thought he might be too busy to even remember I was with him. Thinking that he must have forgotten my invitation to dinner, I turned around and decided to go home.
"Haven't you forgotten something?" Before I took a few steps away, someone patted me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Kieran standing behind me. Twilight streamed through the French window and settled over him. His eyes were bloodshot from fatigue, but there was a touch of coldness and calmness in them, making them look like the iceberg of the Arctic.
I couldn't help but freeze. No matter when and where I saw Kieran, he was always like a noble emperor who had others' awe and respect.
"I thought you forgot that, so I left you to your work," I explained.
Kieran casually took off his silver-blue suit jacket and threw it at Armand. While unbuttoning his chest and wrists, he said, "What are we gonna eat?"
I was lost for words. The reason why I treated him to dinner was that I was grateful to him for helping me out at noon. I had no idea which restaurant to take him to. Besides, I didn't have enough money! I suddenly regretted offering such an invitation. As a rich guy, he ate high-quality food at every meal. Even if I had money, I couldn't afford to treat him to dinner, not to mention I was indeed penniless.
However, I didn't expect him to take my invitation, and it surprised me that he still remembered this after a busy afternoon!
"Well, let's go eat something you've never eaten before. I promise!" I said a little guiltily.
Without saying anything, he asked me for the address and drove over.
"This is it!" I pointed to the open-air food court in front. Actually, I had only been here once. Although the food here tasted delicious, I couldn't come here too often due to my current low wages.
"Here?" After stopping the car, he looked a little annoyed.
With an awkward smile, I said, "This must be your first time coming here. Although this place is ... dirty, the food here is really delicious!"
Before I could finish my words, he started the engine and directly drove away. I immediately shut up. How could I forget that he loves to be clean? To be more specific, he was a neat freak. He would be no means eat at such a dirty place.
I sighed slightly and said, "Sorry, I forgot that you are a neat guy. That place looks quite dirty, but it's simply not the case. I promise that the food tastes really good. I went there to eat once!"
Kieran turned to me and asked, "Why only once?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, I said awkwardly, "Because the food there is quite expensive!"
He suddenly turned the car around. Before I realized what had happened, the car was already parked at the food court.
Now was the time for night snacks. The location of this food court was good. Most importantly, the food here was rather tasty. Therefore, a great number of people came here at this time of day. Over time, this place became a food court, and its special feature was that people could sit in front of stalls to enjoy delicious food.
The moment Kieran's aquamarine Bugatti Veyron stopped, all the passers-by stopped to look at it. People who were eating also looked over with interest, for they wondered which rich man would drive such a luxurious car here for food.
"Wow! It's Bugatti Veyron!"
