Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 19

The stroll lasted from noon to evening.

Nell’s stomach rumbled with hunger.

Gideon invited her to dinner in order to thank her for helping him ‘pick out’ clothes.

Nell was hungry, so she did not reject him. Thus, at 7:00 pm, they went to a nearby restaurant to eat.

She ate ten Chinese mitten crabs caught from the Yangcheng Lake.

The man sitting at the next table watched her and thought in his heart, ‘That man looks elite and handsome, how could he starve his girlfriend like that? How many days hasn’t she eaten?’

When Nell was famished, she ate without caring about how she looked.

This was something she trained over the past few years while at work.

That was because she was usually busy most of the time, so it was a luxury to be able to eat on time. Where would she have the mind to care about her image?

All she thought about was to finish eating quicker so she could go back to work.

When she finished her tenth crab, she reached her hand out for more, but the crab on the plate was suddenly taken away.

She looked up and stared blankly at Gideon. “What are you doing?”

Gideon handed the plate to the waiter to be taken away and said in a deep voice, “Your body will get cold if you eat too many crabs. Eat something else instead.”

Nell pouted in dissatisfaction but knew that he was right, so she could only listen to him.

However, after looking at the other dishes on the table, she started feeling full and no longer felt like eating.

Thus, she simply put down her chopsticks.

Gideon saw her put her chopsticks down and stopped eating as well.

He called the waiter over to pay the bill before the two got up and walked out together.

The black Rolls-Royce was parked by the curb. Matthew Starks got down from the car and respectfully opened the door for them.

Nell greeted him with a laugh. “Mr. Starks, have you eaten?”

Matthew felt that there was something eerie in that laugh and quickly smiled apologetically. “I have.”

“Well, that’s good.”

Nell got into the car and whispered to Gideon. “President Leith, this assistant of yours actually dared to drive your car out for dinner after leaving you in a restaurant. I think he’s getting too arrogant.”

Matthew immediately froze and explained with a bitter face. “President Leith, I didn’t. I just ate at a nearby restaurant.”

However, Gideon seemed not to hear his words and instead nodded with a smile.

“Hm, you’re right. He is a little arrogant. I’ll punish him later.”

“Good.”

Nell successfully got her revenge. Matthew looked bitter, but Gideon affectionately rubbed Nell’s head.

When the car started, Gideon suddenly took out a bag from behind him and handed it to her.

“This is for you.”

Nell was surprised and took a look. It was the dress that she tried on in the shop before.

“How is this here?”

Gideon smiled. “Didn’t you like this? Matthew saw that you did, so he bought it.”

Nell turned to Matthew.

Matthew received the hint from Gideon and nodded quickly.

“Yes, yes. I bought that, Ms. Jennings. Well… About lying to your friend earlier, it was just a casual remark. You’re a magnanimous person, so please don’t get hung up about it!”

Nell suddenly laughed.

She had just been teasing Matthew and did not expect him to be so nervous.

She nodded and took out her phone. “I’ll transfer the money to you.”

“No, no, there’s no need.”

Matthew hurriedly refused. The money had been from the President. How could he dare to accept it?

He smiled and explained. “The truth is… I simply came up with the idea. It was the President who decided to do it, so if you want to pay anyone back, it should be to him instead!”

Then, he quickly shut up and refused to say any more.

Nell turned to Gideon in surprise, and he said softly, “I don’t lack money.”

Nell. “...”
