As I was wondering, Eric sneered, “You are really hilarious. You said you’re offering me a meal, but you had someone else foot the bill? What is the meaning of this? You should have just told me if you couldn’t afford to do that. Are you trying to humiliate me?
“That’s not what I meant. It’s not that I didn’t want to pay the bill, but the cashier said someone already paid, so I thought it was you.”
“Hah, someone actually paid the bill for a stupid woman like you! I really can’t understand. I wonder which man had nothing better to do.”
“A man? Do you know who paid for me, President Walker?”
“How would I know?”
“But you just said it was a man who paid the bill for me.”
“Can’t I guess? Which woman would pay for you?”
“Isabella. Isabella would pay for me.”

“If it really was your chatty best friend, wouldn’t she have come over to talk to you?” Eric looked at me wryly.
“You are right.” If it was Isabella, she would certainly have come to greet me. “So who paid the bill for me?”
“You can reflect on this yourself. Oh yes, you have to invite me to dinner tomorrow night.”
“Why?”
“You were supposed to be asking me out to dinner tonight, but you weren’t the one who paid the bill. Since you didn’t pay, it can’t be considered as if you offered me dinner. Therefore, you still owe me dinner, and you have to treat me tomorrow night.” My head got dizzy with his long-winded explanation. It’s just dinner, isn’t it? Did he really need to say that much?
“Okay, I can invite you to dinner. Now, can you tell me what condition you spoke of last night?”
“The condition is that you are my
role model.”
“Oh, this?” I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought he would come up with a bizarre condition. “No problem
Seeing that I had readily agreed, his expression calmed down. “Let’s go for a walk on the beach.”
I nodded, and the car sped toward the beach. At that moment, Eric turned on the music, in which the familiar chords of ‘Scarborough Fair’ echoed in the car.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to those who live there
He was once a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a chambray shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
No seams or embroidery
Then he will be a true love my

Chapter 339
The ethereal voice of Sarah Brightman spoke that the most sincere love is the most unforgettable love in every person’s life. As the music played, Eric’s long, slender fingers drummed against the steering wheel in time with the beat. Surprisingly, a trace of tenderness appeared on his face. Looking at his indescribably handsome profile, I got distracted. The music played on a loop, and I just looked at him as I leaned to the side. It wasn’t until we got to the beach where he stopped the car and turned off the music that I snapped back to reality.
The night breeze was tinged with a salty, damp smell as Eric and I walked side by side on the beach. He held out his hands and took a deep breath, apparently in good spirits. So I timidly asked, “President Walker, who asked for your
help last night?”
“Huh?”
