Hearing Luke's remarks, Josephine reached out and grabbed her forehead as she was speechless after hearing his remarks. Luke was wealthy, but there was no need to flaunt it since it was just a meal.
“Luke, there's no need to change seats. Let's just eat here,” Josephine said, and the next moment, her glance accidentally landed on the man across from her. Although he was looking at his phone, he was smirking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoticing that made Josephine blush as it seemed like her thoughts had been seen through and that it was as if she refused to change seats because of him.
As soon as the dishes were served, for sreason, she stared at Ethan across from her and watched how he ate. Ethan ordered a single portion. Since he was born into a wealthy family, he possessed an inherent sense of nobility that made even eating barbeque seem elegant.
After a while, Josephine suddenly heard coughs from next to her. She glanced over and saw Ethan holding a glass of water while his fair face was flushed red. It was obvious that he choked on the spiciness.
“If you can’t eat spicy food, you shouldn't have chere. You took it upon yourself.” Luke couldn’t help but sneer, showing off his quick wit.
With that, Josephine glanced at him before getting up and walking to Ethan's side. “Mr. Quarles, are you okay?” she asked concernedly. Hearing that, Ethan raised his head, and his eyes were so red that they seemed like they had been stung, “I'm okay,” he replied.
“They are heavy on the spice over here. If you can’t handle spicy food, you can just have the non-spicy one,” Josephine suggested. “Thank you for your concern, Miss Josephine.” Ethan smiled, looking very happy. Suddenly, Luke started coughing as well. Hearing that, Josephine turned around and asked, “Luke, are you okay?” “I choked. Joey, could you please poura glass of water?” With that, Josephine quickly poured him a glass of water. Luke then added, “Joey, you're so good to me.” Josephine forced a smile upon hearing RN returned to her seat. She had originally planned to have a good meal, but after what just happened, she did™® have much appetite.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust then, the somewhat dispirited Luke called the waiter and asked for a bottle of beer. Josephine quickly said to him, “Luke, you shouldn't drink since you're driving tonight.” “It’s okay. | can handle alcohol well. Drinking a glass won't makedrunk, and it won't show up on a test,” Luke said. He was feeling down and needed a drink to relax.
Meanwhile, Ethan obediently ate the non-spicy barbeque that he ordered. He didn’t seem hungry, and his gaze kept glancing toward Josephine, making her start eating more ladylike, unlike her hearty eating style. She was taking small bites and chewing softly. In fact, she didn’t want to act like this, but Ethan's gaze exerted a kind of pressure, making her involuntarily want to be more refined in front of him.
Finally, Josephine finished eating. Luke ordered a lot, but she was full after just having a third of the food he ordered. Meanwhile, Luke had no appetite, so he drank a bottle of beer instead.
While Josephine went to the restroom, she paid the bill for both tables. When Luke wanted to get the bill, he complained, “Josephine, | know you said you are treating me, but | should be paying! How can | let you pay?” “I told you I would treat you. Are you done? Let's go,” Josephine said to him. Noticing that, Ethan also got up and followed them out. When he got to the counter to pay, he realized that Josephine had paid his bill too. He was stunned for a few seconds and hurriedly walked out after Josephine and Luke when she saw them leave.
At the door, Luke took out his car key and said, “Josephine, do you want to go for a drive? It's still early, and we can have something else to eat later.” “No, | need to go hand get swork done.” Josephine made an excuse. “It's only 7.30PM. You'll have enough tto work on it after | send you home. Let's go and relax a bit,” Luke insisted.
“Please sendhome.” Josephine didn’t want to go out with him. However, just as Josephine was about to get in the car, a man’s big hand grabbed her. She turned around in surprise, and Ethan pulled her to his side before saying, “He’s been drinking so you can’t ride in his car. It's dangerous.”
