Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1096
After a few spins, Hannah got used to maneuvering it, and she picked up speed. Under Xavier’s guidance, they arrived at a barbeque restaurant.
“What’s the point of summer if we don’t eat to our hearts’ content at an open-air barbeque place?”
It was obvious that Xavier frequented this sort of eatery, which Hannah found strange. Why does a man born with a silver spoon eat at a regular eatery like any Tom, Dick, and Harry? Shouldn’t it be like how they portray it in the dramas, with the rich and famous commenting on how this kind of food can cause cancer? Why does he eat it?
The luxurious sports car stood out like a sore thumb. All the customers gawked like how Hannah did when she first saw it. Immediately, both of them were thrust into the limelight.
Wearing an iconic smile on his face, Xavier walked around casually. On the contrary, Hannah felt rather uneasy at first. But soon, his calm composure rubbed off on her, and she felt more at ease.
He placed the orders adeptly and even included beer. “Pairing barbeque with a glass of icy cold beer is epic, an ultimate enjoyment!”
They had a lovely time eating and chatting. His humor often made her laugh in a boisterous manner.
She began to like his personality and found him amusing. Though rich, his interests are similar to mine.
Time flew by when they were having a jolly good time. Hannah took a glance at her watch and realized it was getting late. She fished for her phone, worried that Fabian might be looking for her.
Oh my, twenty-eight missed calls! Two were from the senior editor while the rest were from Fabian. Mr. Dijon was probably calling because Fabian asked about me.
Sh*t! I’m dead this time.
Hannah had ants in her pants, albeit appearing to be paying attention to the animated Xavier who was telling his stories. He’s not going to stop any time soon, is he? I wonder what time it will be when we finish eating.
