Chapter 1051
"Yeah, I understand how sad you must be feeling," Harvey said, attempting to console her.
"I get it."
"Oh, really?" Nicole laughed.
"I'm just trying to figure out Mr.Johnson Sr"s condition? Why are you comforting me?"
"You're just trying to figure out Mr.Johnson Sr"s condition?" Harvey repeated after her.
"It seems to me that you've watched one too many TV shows." Nicole stared at him with a brow raised and shook her head.
"What do you think I was doing?"
Harvey buried his face in his hands, knowing that he had misunderstood; he had embarrassed himself.
Darting his eyes at his watch to catch a glimpse of the time, he changed the subject in an attempt to mitigate the resulting awkwardness.
"It's already noon.Why don't we head out for lunch together?"
Nicole checked the time as well, and was surprised to realize that she had been in the ward for so long.
"What's on the menu today?"
"You can order whatever you fancy!" Harvey said, finally able to recover what was left of his dignity.
"Well then, let's make our way to the Blue Whale," Nicole replied with a smile on her face, as she had always reserved a special place in her heart for the Blue Whale Restaurant, which had always provided her a sense of comfort whenever she dined in there.
"Okay, I will book us a table now." Harvey took his phone out and proceeded to make a call.
"Good afternoon.This is Harvey Ellison, and I'd like a table for two reserved by the window."
"Wait, how do you know that I like window seats?" Nicole frowned at him as he ended the call and pocketed his phone.Harvey, who liked window seats himself, once heard that Nicole did as well, and with this in mind, he replied, Who am I to pursue you if I don't even know where your favorite seats are?"
Nicole was amused.
"Why don't I believe this?"
"Believe it or not, that's the truth."
Harvey turned his palm up ina gesture of invitation.
