Vera harmed to catch up with Robin. The few private booths in the food court were all occupied, so they serded at a window–side table in the main dining area.

The Robin glanced at her and was taken aback. How she looked at him felt strange, as if he was her prey. His heart raped a little.

“Robin you jerk” Vera couldn’t help but snap in frustration.
“Huh?” Robin stared at her, confused. You jerk! You’re the one being weird!”

Robin was even more confused. “So you’ve been cursing me in your head?”

“What the- Vera huffed, snatching the last big fried chicken from Robin’s plate and taking a big bite.
“That’s mine! Robin exclaimed as he watched her steal his fried chicken. He retaliated by grabbing a fried chicken from her plate, plus a fried potato, for good measure.
“That’s mine!” Vera exclaimed, momentarily dazed. “Why are you being so stingy?”
“Who told you to steal my fried chicken?” Robin bit into his portion with gusto.
Rosalie, Piper, and Connor passed by and witnessed the scene.
Rosalie burst out laughing. “Haha!”
Vera paused, glaring at Robin, muttering. “You guys, fighting over a fried chicken!”
Rosalie rushed to the counter and ordered a fried chicken for each of them.
Piper glared at Robin from a distance, rolling her eyes. “Seriously? He’s fighting a girl over a fried chicken?”
At their table nearby, Rosalie sat with Piper and Connor Robin and Vera waved at Rosalie, thanking her for the fried chicken.
Piper shot Rosalie a disapproving look. “Are you stupid? Why are you treating them? You’re still seeking job: why are you so generous?
Rosalie stuck out her tongue. “I owe him for saving me this morning. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what would’ve happened.”
“That man you’re talking about–just look at him! Is that really the kind of hero who stands up for others? He’s fighting with a woman over a fried chicken; what kind of future does he have?”
Piper shot Robin a disdainful glance. “Besides, that whole scene this morning might have been a show he put on himself! You fool!”
Rosalie whispered, “No way, Piper. He isn’t as pathetic as you think.”
“What’s going on?” Connor asked, looking puzzled. “What are you guys talking about?”
Piper recounted the story of Rosalie buying youtiao that morning, scoffing, ‘Connor, tell me, what kind of future can a man have if he’s willing to wait in line for over ten minutes just for a few bucks‘ worth of doughnut?”
Connor nodded along. “A guy who would queue for a cheap breakfast doesn’t seem that ambitious.” Rosalie looked uncertain. “But what if they’re dating? Isn’t it normal to tease each other?
“Plus, he really did save me this morning. How could he possibly stage that?” she defended.
Piper let out a cold smile. “Of course, he wouldn’t go through all that trouble for someone like you.” “Didn’t I tell you? He’s definitely trying to get close to you to catch my attention!

taste like him isn’t even worth a glance from me!

Piper shook her head “Common, you’ve only been at the hum Group for half a year, but you’ve drostly become the deputy team leader in the sales departmer That’s impressive!
Connor had admired Piper throughout his time at school.
Now that Piper had reached out to him regarding a potion at the Eastvale Development Company under the Dunn Group, he was more than willing to help.
“It’s nothing special. Thanks to my work performance might be promoted to team leader of the sales
group soon.”
Connor said excitedly. “The team leader told me that on the first day the development company is
nounced, I might even get to meet the president!”
“Oh, Connor, you’re amazing!” Rosalie exclaimed.
“I’m just a bit slow; I’m not sure if I can even get into a big company like the Dunn Group.
Talmost ran late for my interview today.
“I could tell the interviewer was unhappy, so I’m afraid I won’t get to work with you, Connor.
Luckily, Piper helped me out a lot with the interviewer, and that’s how my resume got accepted.”
Piper shot her a sideways glance. “Seriously, you’re so careless with everything! How could you delay such an important thing? Can’t you just come for the interview before grabbing breakfast? Honestly
Connor chuckled. “It’s okay; when the time comes, I’ll talk to the HR interviewer and tell them you’re my friend. That should work,”
Rosalie beamed. “Connor, what do you like to cat? I’ll treat you today!”
“Uh?” Connor stammered. “Let’s split the bill; that’s how it’s done nowadays.”
“That’s too embarrassing, Connor! I really want to treat you!” Rosalie insisted.
“Rosalie, don’t do that! Just follow what he said and split the bill, Piper said with a hint of disdain in her eyes, though she kept a smile on her face.
In her opinion, since Connor liked her so much, he should definitely be the one treating her. Besides, he was the only man there and the only one already earning a salary!
Rosalie reluctantly agreed.
Robin and Vera walked by after finishing their lunch.
“Rosalie, thanks for the fried chicken! Enjoy your meal! Vera greeted them.
Rosalie quickly stood up with a smile. “Robin, if I get the chance, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
