Breakfast in the shop
Manfred seemed to come here often, he greeted the owner when he came into the door.
“This breakfast shop is famous around here for its fresh ingredients and variety. Here is the menu. Have a look.”
Manfred took her to his usual seat and gave the menu to Charlotte.
Charlotte had no intention of eating breakfast. She glanced at the menu and asked for a bowl of noodles in clear soup.
Manfred took a look at her but he did not say anything. After giving the menu to the waiter, he added more for Charlotte and then looked at Charlotte.
“What’s the matter? Your face is so bad, and you seem to have no appetite. Do you need me to go to the hospital with you?”
Hearing this, Charlotte came back to her senses. She stared at him sitting in front of her.
He wore a cleanly laundered white shirt, even the collar was neat without the least wrinkle, showing that he was a man of great refinement.
Manfred’s facial features were also beautiful, but compared to Kennedy’s sharp eyes and facial features, Manfred’s facial features were very soft.
Manfred to her was warm and gentle.
Was it really possible that he could be that man?
“No, I just didn’t sleep well.”
Manfred became worried, “Charlotte, do you hate me?”
Charlotte was stunned, “What?”
“You’ve always resisted me.” Manfred slightly smiled and softly asked, “Because what? Do I look terrible?”
Charlotte explained awkwardly, “No, don’t overthink about it.”
“Then don’t resist me, ok?”
Charlotte, “......”
She dropped her eyes, still confused.
How was she going to say it out?
After thinking for a long time, Charlotte raised her head and asked softly, “Manfred, are your suit customized?”
Although this question is a bit abrupt, but Charlotte still want to confirm.
At first, Manfred didn’t understand why she asked this question, but he didn’t care about it. He just nodded slowly, “Some are customized. When I don’t have enough time, I will buy it directly. What is wrong?”
Hearing this, Charlotte tightened her fists.
In that case, it was customized.
Did she have to keep asking? If she continued to ask further questions, and Manfred was that man, he might be aware of it!
Charlotte was thinking how to ask the next question that he would notice nothing.
After some deliberation, she spoke again.
“No, I think you look good in some suits. Manfred, did you ever...”
Charlotte asked while looking up to him, but found that now Manfred was looking at her too with a half smile. He seemed to be able to see through her mind.
Charlotte’s breath suddenly stopped and she stopped her words.
Manfred looked at her with his deep eyes.
“You seem to have a lot of questions?”
He looked inscrutable and Charlotte dared not ask any more. Just then the waiter brought her white porridge. Charlotte avoided Manfred’s eyes and got up to take it.
But because of the tension, and the bowl accidentally knocked over, and she got burnt.
Sitting opposite the smiling Manfred saw it, got up and caught Charlotte’s hands, “Please give me some cold water.”
