Chapter 144
Seeing my puzzled expression . Jessica awkwardly explained , “ I ordered this dish for you based on your preferences . _ Mr. Ribeiro does not eat spicy food ” .
“ Sorry ! ” I looked embarrassed at Henriques .
to do
On the other hand , Henriques smiled indifferently . “ It is a dish that Mrs. _ Morais served me personally ; I ca n’t undo and refuse it . Allow me to make an exception and try it out . So he ate the shrimp I put _on your plate . After finishing , he smiled and said , “ Not bad . _ It tastes better than I expected . _
Faced with his carefree attitude , I clearly felt a wave of relief wash over President Freitas . After that , I had no more appetite to eat . So I stayed in the VIP room a little longer before excusing myself and going to the bathroom .
Jessica quickly followed . _ Then she reached out and patted me on the forehead . _ _ _ “ You should feel honored ! _ I ca n’t believe you made Henrique make an exception for you ” .
“ I had no idea , okay ? Furthermore , nothing is set in stone . Just because Henriques does n’t eat spicy food does n’t mean he ca n’t handle the spices ! _ Also , bell pepper is not harmful at all . There are benefits to eating –you too ! ”
“ Oh really ? _ _ So why did n’t you say anything now ? _ Shouldn’t you have preached your long-winded speech directly to Henriques ? ”
I ignored your sarcasm . “ What was the inside information you wanted to tell me this morning ? ”
“ Finally getting curious about it ? ” She gave me a sideways look . _
“ Yes . So hurry up and tell me . _ _
“ Did n’t you say that … can you guess any inside information coming from the public relations department ? If that ‘s the case , find out for yourself ! ”
“ I take back what I said , okay ? ”
“ Have you ever heard of the saying ‘ words spoken cannot be taken back ‘ ? ”
“ As close as we are , can you feel comfortable not telling me ? _ _ _ ”
“ Disappear . I wo n’t tell you anything today ! _ You can wallow in anxiety ! ” After saying that , Jessica walked off in her high heels . _
This woman … She ‘s really showing off , is n’t she ? Shaking my head , I followed her out of the bathroom .
At first I assumed the purpose of today ‘s meeting was to discuss some business matters after dinner . _ _ To my surprise , it turned out to be nothing more than a simple meal .
