No One But You novel Chapter 12

We saw each other. Obviously he did not expect to see me here. He was stunned and later called my name, “Josephine."

Daniel was a member of DT Electronic. On the way I thought there was a possibility to meet him, did not expect to meet him.

Calvin looked at him and at me. His mouth raised a cheerful radian, “Manager Daniel, do you know my new secretary?"

Daniel was stunned, “A new secretary?"

Looking at Calvin's smile, I suddenly realized that he deliberately selected me for the lunch.

Alice said, generally speaking, the secretary had no need to social entertainment.

He understood my situation so well that I felt, at first, that I was underestimating him.

There were altogether four people present, me and Calvin, Daniel from DT Electronic and their chairman.

Perhaps Calvin asked the chairman of DonHiu Group to arrange Daniel to attend the dinner.

He was trying to embarrass me.

It seemed that he didn’t know me very well.

I'd been through a lot of embarrassing moments in my life and I was used to it.

So I had my food while they were talking.

Calvin asked me to order the dishes, so I ordered all expensive food. I like crabs and I ordered two huge treasure crabs.

After the food was served, Calvin looked back at me and said, "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, so I am having dinner."

"Order two more veggies." He said.

Rich people eat vegetarian food when they had dinner out. Poor people only ordered what we didn't have the chance to eat.

After the food was served, I was so absorbed in it that I did not hear their conversation.

Daniel had been watching me, then secretly peeled the crab claws and put them into my dish.

I used chopsticks directly to push them to the table. I won’t have the food he helped me.

This subtle move was captured by Calvin. He smiled faintly, “Manager Daniel is a gentlemen. He even takes care of my secretary. Have you got married?”

With a smile, he pushed his black-framed glasses and said, "Yes, yes."

"I heard that ManagerDaniel's wife is a beauty." Daniel's chairman said with a smile, “She is a reporter, ManagerDaniel is lucky.”

Daniel's chairman hadn't met me, and I hadn't met him either.

Daniel's dinner was not good enough, so he only can invite the general manager.

I used the hammer to hit the crab, and the hard shell was into pieces.

Then I looked for crab meat in the hard shell. My cell phone rang. With my hand full of crab oil, I turned it on with the back of my hand. It was a message from Daniel.

‘It occurred to me that you can't eat crabs.’

I turned my head and continued to eat.

Who said that pregnant women should not eat crabs? I had a friend who lived by the sea and gave birth to three children. She had crabs every meal and they kids were all healthy.

Besides, I won’t keep the kids. I would like to eat whatever I want.

I was full, while they didn't move their chopsticks. I planned to take it back and I can have it while I watched TV at night.

Calvin asked me to pay the bill. I held out my hand to him. "Money."

He slapped a card into my hand and I took it.

"Josephine." Daniel's voice sounded behind.

I knew he was coming, but I never looked back to him.

He came to the front of me. "Josephine," he said, "How did you become Calvin's secretary? Didn't you quit your job to take care of your body in the villa?"
