Chapter 166 Couple Dinner
Nigel brought Janet into the restaurant and was guided by the waiter to the reserved seats..
The seats were next to the window and overlooked the entire bustling downtown area of Austin.
He carefully pulled a chair for her and then sat down.
The waiter beside them began to enthusiastically introduce the dishes, “What would you like to order?
This is our restaurant’s special menu just for today, and there is a discount for a couple’s meal.”
Nigel took the menu from the waiter and did not refute his words.
Nigel inadvertently glanced at Janet.
Janet looked at the other menu and did not pay much attention to the couple’s meal until the waiter
spoke again.
“Sir, Miss, you two are a good match!”
The waiter had worked in this restaurant for a long time. He had seen many influencers and celebrities,
but a couple like Nigel and Janet
was rare to see. They were even better looking than many celebrities.
Hearing that. Janet realized the waiter misunderstood. She quickly said, “We are not a couple.”
The waiter was surprised and somewhat embarrassed.
“Sorry, I thought…”
“It doesn’t matter. Go to other customers first. We will call you when we finish ordering.” Janet smiled
faintly.
She did not notice that when she denied it, the light in Nigel’s eyes obviously dimmed.
Before she looked at him again, he cheered himself up and teased, “Why were you in such a hurry to
explain? Is it embarrassing to be
regarded as my girlfriend?”
“No, I was just afraid it would affect you negatively. If it gets out, you might not get girls so easily.”
“So what? If that happens, why don’t you give yourself to me to make up for it?” Nigel winked at her
and said with a wicked smile.
Nigel said it intentionally.
Using a joke to test Janet, at least he could guess the chances of her accepting him after he professed
his feelings for her.
Hearing that, Janet froze for a few seconds and did not know how to answer.
Before she could think it through, Nigel suddenly laughed.
“Nervous? I was just teasing you.”
She stared into his eyes but couldn’t figure out which part of his words was real.
After a long time, she sighed.
“Don’t joke about this again.”
Hearing that, Nigel felt a chill in his heart.
At least for now, Janet was a little resistant. It seemed he needed to wait for a bit longer before telling
her how he felt.
He did not know when she would begin a new relationship, but as long as she was not ready, he was
willing to wait.
Not long after, the dishes and red wine were all served.
Nigel raised his glass, smiled sincerely, and said to her, “Congratulations, Jill,”
“Thank you.”
After the meal, Nigel proposed to drive Janet back to the hotel. She readily agreed. She could ask
some questions about the APP he had
designed on the way.
Nigel had a bitter face and complained. “Jill… We are off work. Can we not talk shop?”
“Sure, but this is not serious. I am just curious.” Janet raised her eyebrows.
Nigel felt helpless. What else could he do?
It was Janet.
They chatted along the way and soon arrived at the hotel.
As soon as they got out of the car, Janet saw two rows of flower baskets at the entrance of the hotel. It
looked as if the hotel had just opened today.
Nigel was also a little surprised.
But soon they saw the words on the flower baskets.
“Congratulations to Janet, president of the Longfellow Group, for the successful bidding.”
“Could… could it have been sent by someone from the Longfellow Group?” Nigel asked Janet
uncertainly.
Janet shook her head. Other than Geordie, almost no one in the Longfellow Group knew she had come
to the New-Media Industry Convention. Geordie could not have made such a grand gesture.
“Forget it. It’s not important. Go back and rest first. You have to attend the closing ceremony tomorrow.
As the host, if you don’t come up to the stage and present a speech, I am afraid you will be
assassinated by the other two.” Janet waved at him and said with a smile. “See you tomorrow.”
With that, she turned around and walked into the hotel. She pressed the elevator button and went up to Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
the 16th floor.
When she saw there were two flower baskets at the door of her room, she was a little surprised. A
familiar voice sounded.
“You finally came back. How was the celebration dinner?”
Nathaniel stood next to the flower baskets with his arms crossed, looking at her with some coldness
and mockery.
“Does it have anything to do with you? Nathaniel, stop looking for trouble.” After that, Janet was about
to swipe the card to open the door.
Nathaniel took a step forward and stood in front of her, his eyes falling on the flower baskets at the
door.
“Do you have anything to say about these flower baskets?”
Janet looked at him and finally understood. His expression indicated they were from him.
“So? What do I need to say? You want me to thank you?”
