Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 28

There were also some patient's families and nurses in front of the elevator. Afraid of being surrounded, Nicole had to keep quiet and allowed Jacob to pull her.

Nicole was taken to a fancy restaurant by Jacob, who was a frequent guest here. As soon as they entered, the waiter took them to a private room on the second floor with a smile.

"Mr. Jacob, we have the newest product of this year. Do you want a pot of it?"

Jacob didn't raise his head and just hummed, "HMM."

After they sat down, he looked at Nicole and asked her with some expressions, "What do you want to eat? The dishes here are not spicy. I think you will like them. "

The waiter was surprised, but after all, he had received training, so he quickly adjusted his mood and handed the menu to Nicole with a natural and graceful manner.

Nicole rarely had dinner in this kind of place. She was not used to the enthusiastic service. Besides, it was a little bit unhappy for her to be forced to eat in such a far place. So she didn't take the menu. She just looked at Jacob and said in a hard voice, "I'm not hungry. You eat by yourself."

The waiter was more surprised.

As a guest of such a high level like Jacob, every sales clerk would remember clearly what he should said and what he shouldn't say. He was trained to fawn the guests.

The waiter was guessing their relationship. Although they looked ambiguous, it could be seen from her dressing and temperament that the women did not enjoy a noble status. He thought she was just a minor mistress.

However, when they sat down, the first thing for Jacob was to ask this woman. He didn't look down upon her or put on a show of disdain. Instead, he asked with care and casualness. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

This was already surprising to the waiter. After all, Jacob seldom brought women here. But what surprised the waiter more was the attitude of the women.

Impatience, and boredom.

It seemed that Jacob was the one who insisted on going to the banquet and the woman didn't want to come.

The waiter thought about it secretly and gave Nicole one more look.

"Make as many dishes as I usually order." without looking at the menu, Jacob ordered, "By the way, make light dishes."

"Yes, sir. Please wait for moment."

The waiter served two cups of hot tea and went out. The room immediately overflowed with the fragrance of the tea.

They sat there doing nothing, and neither of them spoke. Embarrassed and bored, Nicole took a sip of tea.

Jacob was more ingenuous than Nicole. He looked at her with a direct and impudent sight.

Nicole also felt the heat on her face, as if it was something swept her face and would make a big hole on her face.

She couldn't help asking, "Can you stop looking at me like that?"

"Why are you so upset about coming out to have a meal with me?" Jacob didn't answer her and asked her in a sharp voice instead.

Nicole was stunned. She knew she had already expressed her displeasure, but she didn't expect Jacob to be so straightforward.

She was embarrassed when her trick was exposed. Before she could explain, she was interrupted by Jacob.

"Do you think I spent money to look at your unhappy face?"

Nicole was infuriated at once. She didn't want to explain anything, so she simply looked away and pouted without saying anything.

She hated it when Jacob always talked about money. This word reminded her that it was just a trade between them and reminded her of the terrible memory when she was forced to do so.

"Nicole Du, don't make me angry all the time." He took a sip from his tea with a tense expression on his face.
