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!"
"Yes. There must be something wrong with my eyes, but I hope they will never recover. I am willing to stay sick like this!" Immediately after, a wave of rapture swept over the crowd and many women passing by fainted from excitement. Some of them were in a state of dizziness and shortness of breath, and they couldn't wait to throw themselves into his arms.
Kieran's face was now as black as thunder. I knew he was trying his best to stop himself from directly turning around and leaving here.
"Let's sit there!" I pointed to the farthest corner. Kieran walked over with a cold face. I quickly wiped the table and chair clean with a napkin. I didn't dare to ask Kieran to sit down before wiping it dozens of times.
"This will never happen again!" Wearing a cold expression, he said word by word.
"Absolutely!" I nodded repeatedly. I would by no means treat him a meal again, for it could be considered as the second most terrifying thing for me.
And the most terrifying thing was encountering Kieran!
With the menu in his hand, the owner of the stall was dumbfounded and forgot to serve us. The chef holding a spoon was like a stone statue and hadn't come to himself until the food was completely burnt.
Seeing Kieran's face grow colder, I took the menu from the owner. Just as I was about to hand it over to Kieran, he suddenly stood up like a cheetah on alert and stared at me as if I had done something terrible.
I was dumbfounded. Looking at the menu in my hand, I found that its design was quite vulgar. Moreover, due to the accumulation of lampblack for years, the edges of the menu had turned black and the plastic film was about to come off. Even I felt it was extremely dirty, let alone Kieran!
After realizing this, I quickly took the menu away from Kieran and began to read the names of dishes to him. However, after a while, he interrupted me impatiently, "Just order your favorite ones!" Seeing his stern face, I didn't dare to continue and directly ordered the best dishes I knew. At the same time, I couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. I had thought that he would order a lot. In that case, I might not have enough money. But now it would be enough.
