Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 30

"Oh, I see." Todd Lu said, with a trace of uncertainty in his tone. "But you can't eat too little here. There's no place to sell snacks, and perhaps we have to train with the army at any time. If you are carried back by others after the training, don't expect the army base to receive female reporters next time. If men can do all the work, why let women be the burden? "

Elsa knew that he meant well. In a gentle voice, she said, "I know. I can handle it."

Cindy couldn't help mocking Elsa for her weakness.

Hearing what Elsa said, Johnny knew her very well. He looked at her sympathetically and asked, "Are you okay, Elsa?"

"I'm fine." Elsa forced herself to eat the rice with the egg and seaweed soup. But as soon as she ate one spoonful, she couldn't bear it any more. Perhaps after frying meat, the smell left in the pot which made the soup so greasy.

Elsa didn't want to eat any more. She had no choice but to put down the bowl and said, "I ate too much in the morning. I'm not hungry yet. You guys please eat first."

"I think you are a picky eater, aren't you?" Apparently, Cindy hit the point.

Indeed, Elsa was a picky eater. Since that year, she had stopped eating meat. She knew it was not good and her parents had worried a lot. But there were some things that cannot be overcome with the determination. Elsa didn't explain but turned her head to another side.

"You were not a princess, don't pretend to be as picky as a real one." Cindy said in a low voice.

That was enough for Elsa. She stood up and said, "I'm going back to have a rest. I'll be on time for the work in the afternoon."

Elsa memorized the route carefully just now, and soon followed the memory to find her room. She brought almost nothing except a bag. It was time to have a good talk with Johnny when they went to work later.

She picked up her phone and texted to Soren, telling him she was busy at work and wouldn't have much time in the following days. She saw that Johnny was very serious about this interview. It was probably not as easy to complete as he said.

She had known Johnny for a long time. According to his habits and expressions, she could guess what he was thinking about.

After all, he was not the kind of person who would give up his career to indulge in a life of pleasure and comfort. Ever since Johnny suggested taking her with him, Elsa didn't think that he worked so hard and strived for this opportunity merely for her sake.

It was estimated that there would be a tough battle to fight this time.
