"Okay, that’s it," Anita said with a smile as she closed the menu.
The boss nodded and said affectionately, "Why don’t you ever change your order?"
"These dishes are the best," Anita looked at the boss and replied quickly.
"Wait a moment. It’ll be served soon," the boss said helplessly.
When the boss left, Jack looked at Anita. She had ordered the food so quickly just now. She seemed familiar with the place. Jack felt like he was one step closer to Anita’s life.
"What is it? Is there something on my face?" Anita saw that Jack had been staring at her and touched her face sheepishly.
"Nothing," Jack said with a smile while shaking his head.
The food they ordered was quickly sent over. This time, it wasn’t from the boss, but the waiter.
This was the first time Jack had eaten such a meal and he wasn’t very used to it, but seeing that Anita was eating happily across the table, he tried it.
However, after taking a few bites, he realized that the Korean meal was indeed not as he had imagined. The taste was really delicious, especially since the fried chicken was crisp and delicious.
Anita had been worried that Jack might not be used to Korean food, but she was relieved to see that he kept eating. "How’s it? Isn’t the taste great?"
Jack nodded with a smile. "The fried chicken here is really delicious. How did you find this place?"
Anita thought about Jack’s question for a moment and said, "This shop is where I worked part-time before I took the graduate entrance examination."
"Part-time? You worked part-time before?" Jack asked dubiously while listening to Anita.
"Yes, I’ve worked part-time before. I’ve done all sorts of odd jobs. At that time, I came here to work part-time during the graduate entrance examination in order to earn tuition fees. Didn’t you notice? This place is very close to our laboratory."
"I can get a lot of firsthand research information from working here," Anita said smugly while looking at Jack.
Jack hadn’t expected Anita to have such an experience. He really didn’t know much about her.
At first, he only heard from the laboratory staff that Anita had a special relationship with her mentor. They also said that Anita was a kept woman. Otherwise, why would she be picked up by luxury cars every day?
However, everyone knew how outstanding Anita was when doing experiments. They only dared to talk about her behind her back.
It was only when Anita joined the exchange experiment with Columbia University that everyone’s dissatisfaction erupted. It was only then that Jack had a chance to be partners with Anita.
This also gave him a chance to understand Anita more. He had only wanted to see what kind of person Anita was, but the more he interacted with her, the more attracted he felt.
"Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you shocked by my experience?" Anita said while looking at Jack again.
"Yes, I’m really shocked. I didn’t expect such an outstanding person to have worked part-time before," Jack said with a smile.
"Well, wasn’t I forced to do so to survive?" Anita smiled and waved her hand.
Her nonchalant look made Jack feel a sense of heartache. Such an outstanding girl had been criticized by others behind her back, but she had never cared and had always been working hard.
"Anita, you’re outstanding. You’re really outstanding." Jack said truthfully.
This sudden praise made Anita blush. She lowered her head and said shyly, "Jack, why did you suddenly say that? Hurry up and eat."
"Okay... Okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s eat. If you find anything delicious next time, you must bring me along," Jack said while trying to ease the atmosphere.
Anita said nothing but reached out and made an OK sign. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The atmosphere was very harmonious. The two of them talked about the experiment while eating.
After they finished eating and paid the bill, Anita looked at the time and realized that it was already past ten at night.
So she quickly prepared to say goodbye to Jack. "It’s getting late. I’ll go back first."
"Anita, it’s too late. Let me send you," Jack said to Anita.
"No, it’s not far. I’ll just take a taxi back," Anita said while looking down at her phone. There was no message from Owen.
"If I let you take a taxi back, won’t I lose the chance to show you my gentlemanly manners? Give me a chance to perform," Jack said with a smile while looking at Anita again.
"Besides, I drove today. My car isn’t very nice, but I can give you a ride," Jack added.
