Rosemary had just arrived at the hot pot restaurant when Joseph Flower and Ellen got out of the car and walked toward her.
“Wow, Rosemary, all the guys you know are so handsome!” Tina’s mouth was like an O.
“Could you please not be a nympho at this point? Don’t you know that beautiful flowers are all poisonous?” Rosemary whispered to her.
Tina made a face at Rosemary.
“Miss Harris, I’m sorry we’re late” Joseph said with a handsome face.
Ellen was still wearing the mask. He was as cold as ever.
“I didn’t know what you liked, so I chose this hot pot restaurant. It’s authentic. I’m sure you’ll love it.” Rosemary smiled faintly.
Joseph took one look at Ellen and said with a smile, “We’re going to have to try it tonight.”
Rosemary led them inside, walked to a private room and sat down.
“Rosemary, the food is ready!” Tina said to Rosemary as soon as she entered.
“This is my good friend, Tina?” Rosemary introduced.
Joseph held out his hand and said, “Hello, I’m Joseph Flower! This is my friend, Ellen. I believe Miss Harris has told you!”
Tina smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Flower.”
“You can call me Joseph! Mr. Flower sounds like an old guy.” Joseph said jokingly.
Rosemary looked at Ellen and said, “Well, it’s better if we call each other by name. It won’t look so strange.”
Rosemary turned her head and smiled at Ellen. “Have you ever tried hotpot?”
Ellen took one look at Rosemary, then frowned and said, “No!”
“Then you need to eat more later. The hot pot here is famous in Cornshire!” Rosemary’s smile widened.
The waiter brought a large pot of hot pot ingredients to the table. Ellen glanced at the hotpot ingredients on the table and twitched the corners of her mouth. The hot pot was covered with thick red peppers that gave him goose bumps.
Rosemary and Tina looked at the hot pot soup and their eyes were lit up. They deftly turn on the hot pot switch and wait for the soup to boil.
The waiter brought dishes one by one and set a full table.
Joseph saw Tina looking at the hot pot soup with anticipation and asked with a smile, “Tina, do you often come to eat hot pot?”
Tina didn’t realize that Joseph was talking to her. Rosemary gently touched her and said, “Joseph is asking you a question.”
“Well…”
Tina looked at Joseph sheepishly and said, “What did you say?”
Joseph thought Tina was cute like that, so he asked again with a smile, “Do you often come to eat hot pot?”
“Not very often, just occasionally with Rosemary!” Tina said politely.
Tina secretly peered at the two men on the other side and thought they were really cold! No wonder Rosemary dragged her along. With such a large iceberg sitting next to them, it would be a wonder they weren’t frozen into ice sculptures!
Rosemary saw that the pot was boiling, picked up a piece of mutton, put it in the pot and cooked it, then put it in Ellen’s bowl.
“Try it and see how it tastes.” Rosemary said with a smile.
Ellen gave Rosemary a cold look, picked up his chopsticks on the table, and took a bite of the mutton. The spicy taste reached the tip of his tongue.
“Is it good?” Rosemary asked, bending her head over him.
