Chapter143Â
Adelaide got angry, “You’re so bossy!”Â
Reginald’s smile deepened at the corner of his lips, “The lastÂ
clause of the agreement, follow all my requests and orders. ButÂ
you can also treat me as a dictator.”Â
Adelaide chose to keep quiet because she knew he could walkÂ
the talk.Â
“Backed out this time?”Â
“Yeah, I chickened out.”Â
Seeing how quickly she backed down, Reginald swallowed theÂ
second half of his sentence.Â
This woman, she’s a real wildcard.Â
Even so, he still got more and more upset.Â
Face, face, face, face can be eaten as a meal.Â
The air fell silent for a few seconds, then Adelaide broke theÂ
awkwardness by asking, “Mr. Thorton, are you going back toÂ
the office?”Â
“Ate.”Â
Chapter143Â
“Have you eaten yet?”Â
“Um.”Â
Adelaide pursed her lips and said, “If we don’t count last time, how about I treat you to a meal at a different place?”Â
Reginald felt flattered by the gesture of goodwill, but he still remained cold and said, “You don’t go to our old dating spotÂ
anymore!”Â
Adelaide: “Not a date spot.””Â
Reginald was satisfied.Â
Because it was noon and there was heavy traffic, it took moreÂ
than half an hour to reach the destination.Â
Lunch break was almost over.Â
Adelaide felt embarrassed and hesitant as she spoke, “Mr.Â
Thorton, how about…”Â
“Let’s eat!”Â
Reginald had a poker face and a tough attitude.Â
“But…” she forced a smile.Â
Reginald glanced at her and said, “I’m the boss.”Â
Chapter143Â
She had nothing to say.Â
Finally found a parking spot, Adelaide got out of the car with just her keys and phone.Â
This looks like some kind of small goods market area, Reginald has never been to this kind of place before. But at the same time, it’s unbelievable, would Adelaide come to this kind of place?Â
She took him to a small but busy steamed chicken restaurant like she knew the place like the back of her hand.Â
Adelaide turned her head and smiled at him, “If you can eatÂ
steamed fish, then Mr. Thorton must also be able to eat steamedÂ
chicken.”Â
“Is food still divided into expensive and cheap?” Reginald hasÂ
already stepped onto the stairs.Â
He looked so flashy, all decked out in expensive clothes fromÂ
head to toe. When he walked into the store, he was like aÂ
Christmas tree in everyone’s eyes.Â
Reginald stayed calm, scanned the room, and sat down at theÂ
only empty table.Â
Adelaide knew he liked spicy food, so she ordered a doubleÂ
portion according to her own taste.Â
She grabbed two drinks and sat across from Reginald. “Want aÂ
Chapter143Â
drink?”Â
“Um.”Â
Adelaide opened it and put a straw in it, placing it in front of him.Â
“You seem to come here often, who do you come with?”Â
“Ms. Sampson was busy, so basically I was on my own.”Â
“Why didn’t you bring him?”Â
“Because he’s just as controlling as Spencer, he wouldn’t let me eat this or that,” Adelaide said bluntly.Â
Reginald was feeling somewhat pleased, Teresa wasn’t really aÂ
girl, so he was her first man to bring here.Â
It can only be him in the future.Â
His smile grew even wider at the corner of his lips, “So why didÂ
you bring me here to eat?”Â
“Because you would eat steamed fish, spicy chicken feet, andÂ
stir–fried beef tripe.”Â
She explained with a straight face, and Reginald couldn’t tell ifÂ
she was joking.Â
Then, he went silent.Â
Chapter143Â
Adelaide then chimed in, “Just like you said, food doesn’tÂ
discriminate. But some people just love to tell others that their everyday food is top–notch caviar and foie gras.”Â
