No, it wasn’t just regular food. The chef had prepared a huge feast!

Pearl noticed Drew’s nonchalance and realized that this must be a usual occurrence in his

family. But Drew’s last name sounded oddly familiar to her, like she had heard it

somewhere before.

“Let’s sit down and eat together,” he suggested.

Pearl, feeling a bit nervous while smiling, chose to sit near him so she could have a

conversation.

However, a harsh and mocking voice interrupted them. “Hey, you’re sitting so close to

Mister Drew. Don’t tell me you have some ulterior motives. Listen, he’s engaged. Please

don’t try to be a homewrecker here.”

Pearl turned around and recognized the voice. It was the arrogant woman in traditional

clothes from before. With a quick glance, she noticed that everyone else was dressed in

regular work attire, but this woman stood out in her traditional outfit. It must be some sort

of trend.

“I have a fiance too. Please don’t speak rudely to me,” Pearl responded calmly, her voice

carrying a sense of dignity.

Stunned, the woman didn’t expect Pearl to have a fiance as well. She felt a momentary

“Bianca Walker retorted angrily, feeling that Pearl had ruined her special status with

Drew.

Drew sighed and raised his glass to Pearl. “I apologize for not teaching her better. I hope

you won’t take it to heart.”

Shaking her head, Pearl clinked her glass with Drew’s. “It’s just a young woman who’s a

bit immature. I won’t argue with her.”

Bianca felt even more displeased upon hearing this. “Who said I’m immature? I’m already

nineteen years old.”

“Oh, dear,” Pearl responded playfully, though she was not much older than Bianca.

Bianca looked around but found no one coming to her defense. Angrily, she stomped her

The interruption didn’t dampen Pearl and Drew’s meal. Drew even served Pearl some food

with a smile.

“This dish is delicious. I really like it. Give it a try.”

Pearl swallowed at the sight of the food. “Well, I don’t really like seafood,” she said, being

cautious and not revealing her seafood allergy. After all, she didn’t want to let too many

people know about her vulnerabilities, even though Drew hadn’t posed a threat so far.

But Drew was sharp and caught her hesitation. He used another fork to serve her a

different dish.

“Then try this-‘

Suddenly, they heard some commotion outside.

Drew frowned and was about to check it out when someone abruptly opened the door.
