Chapter 146: Go Eat?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Anita watched Ethan’s lonely back figure finally disappear from her vision before looking back at Owen.

"Anita, what’s wrong? Are you too tired?" Owen asked when he saw that Anita had been silent.

"I’m fine. Let’s go," Anita finally said.

"Miss Anita, the CEO put in a lot of effort to book the restaurant for you. He instructed me to prepare it early on. The restaurant has been booked a few days in advance. We’ve been waiting for you to come back," Bruce saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Restaurant? Is it Xiyue Restaurant?" Anita suddenly asked Bruce.

"Yes... yes. You and the CEO have even been to this restaurant. Didn’t you say that the food there is delicious? So the CEO booked that place again," Bruce said nervously as he listened to Anita.

"I’m sorry, Bruce. I’m too tired to eat today. You’ve been busy the whole day, so you should get off work." When Anita heard the name of the restaurant, she thought of the photos in her email. For a moment, her expression became even worse.

"President... President." Bruce quickly looked up at Owen’s expression after hearing Anita’s words.

"Go tell the driver to leave the car. You two can get off work first." Owen could already tell that Anita was not in a good mood, so he looked at Bruce and said.

"Okay, okay. Then I’ll get going, Miss Anita," Bruce said to Anita.

Anita looked at Bruce and forced a smile without saying anything. She nodded.

Bruce leaned closer to Owen and whispered, "President, I feel that Miss Anita is not in a good mood. You have to perform well."

Owen glanced at Bruce in exasperation and amusement at his reminder.

"Got it, CEO. I’ll leave now." Bruce looked into Owen’s eyes and knew that he was interfering too much, so he didn’t dare to say anything else and quickly turned to leave.

"Anita, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?" he said when Bruce left Owen and looked at Anita.

"Nothing. I want to go home. Let’s talk when we get home," Anita whispered without looking at Owen.

Seeing Anita act like this, Owen didn’t say anything else and went forward to take her suitcase. The two of them headed for the underground parking lot. Today, in order to pick Anita up, Owen had specially changed his hairstyle and attire. Unfortunately, it was useless this time, because Anita hadn’t paid any attention to him.

He had thought that he would take her for a ride in the suburbs after dinner, so he had even changed to a larger SUV. This way, the two of them could even lie in the car and look at the stars through the skylight. In the end, it seemed like his plan had been ruined.

When Anita reached the car, she realized that Owen had changed cars today. It was not the same car he used to drive, and the style of this car didn’t seem to be very similar to his usual style.

Owen saw that Anita was silent and stood beside the car for a long time, so he said, "What do you think of this car? I just bought it. We can drive it out to the suburbs together."

"Yeah, it’s good." Anita didn’t know if she would have a chance to get in this car again after her showdown with Owen tonight, so she nodded and finally opened the car door and got in without saying anything. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Owen thought she would be happier after standing beside the car and hearing him say that. Instead, she just said that and got into the car.

Owen felt even more disappointed. He opened the trunk and put the two large luggages Anita had brought back in before returning to the driver’s seat to start the car and leave.

When he got into the car, he wanted to say something to Anita, but he saw that Anita had put on her seat belt and fallen asleep with her head tilted against the glass.

Now, the two of them were sitting in the car with the window up. The soundproofing was very good, and it wasn’t as noisy as the airport. It was extremely quiet. Owen carefully leaned closer to Anita and looked her up and down.

Although they had not been apart for a few days, he felt like he had not seen this face in a long time. Her rosy lips were slightly exhaled. As he looked at them, he could not help but lean closer.

He kissed her gently. Afraid of waking Anita, he only kissed her gently and hurried away, like a child who had stolen food.

Owen sat back in his seat and touched his lips. His heart was racing. Then he glanced at Anita, who was still sitting in the passenger seat. She still didn’t react at all, as if she were really asleep.

She must be really tired. Owen thought about it and didn’t do anything else. He quickly started the car and drove home.

When he reached home, after Owen parked the car, he went to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took Anita’s luggage down. Anita, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still asleep, so he thought about it and went upstairs to send her luggage home.
