"Okay, Mr. Owen, please wait a moment." The waiter bent down and stood up to leave.
After the waiter left, Owen leaned closer to Anita. "This restaurant has a great view from this position. You can see the river quiet outside the window. You can take a look."
Anita got up at Owen’s words and glanced at the scenery beside the dining room table. It was indeed beautiful.
At this moment, the night lights had just lit up. She could see the bustling crowd who had just gotten off work. She could also see couples strolling arm in arm by the river. A string of lights by the river were also flickering.
Anita couldn’t help but say softly, "It’s really beautiful."
Owen smiled at Anita’s words. "We can come here often from now on if you like it here."
Anita didn’t answer. She actually didn’t know if she and Owen had a future, but she was still happy to hear him say that.
"Oh, yes, Owen, I have something to tell you," Anita said from her seat after looking at the scenery.
"What is it? Tell me," Owen said with a smile while glancing at Anita.
"Oh, right, you called me this afternoon, right? Is what you wanted to tell me about when you called this afternoon?" Before Anita could say anything, Owen continued.
"Right. I wanted to ask you this afternoon. My mentor said that our school has an experiment project that we are collaborating on with Columbia University and he wants me to join."
"But I’m too inexperienced, so I have a lot of concerns. I just wanted to ask you," Anita said to Owen.
Owen thought about it for a moment as he listened to Anita.
"Anita, I don’t know if you can understand me saying this. I think everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. They shouldn’t be stopped by anything."
"If your mentor recommends you, that means he really thinks you’re suitable. Experience can be accumulated, but if you don’t take the first step, you’ll never be able to realize your dreams," Owen said sternly to Anita. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Anita suddenly smiled at Owen’s serious words. She felt like Owen was indeed a very good person and a person she could trust.
"I understand what you’re saying. What I want to tell you is the result of this matter. I’ve agreed to join this project."
"I might start getting busy in a few days," Anita said with a smile while looking at Owen.
"Anita, I’m glad you made this decision. I have to congratulate you," Owen said sincerely.
"Even though you might have to go home later, it’s okay. I still support you." Owen continued, "We have to have a drink later when the red wine comes."
It would have been better if he hadn’t said that. As soon as he said that, the two of them couldn’t help but recall the scene from last night.
Anita’s alcohol tolerance had also been proven last night. It was really bad. She had only drunk a little more than a glass of red wine last night and was already so drunk.
"Forget it. Don’t drink it later. I’m done," Owen said helplessly while rubbing his chin.
Hearing this, Anita didn’t know what to say. Her alcohol tolerance was indeed quite poor. She had only drunk a little last night and done so much. Just the thought of it made her blush.
While the dishes were being served, in awkwardness, the two of them didn’t say anything else until the waiter came over and broke the silence.
"Mr. Owen, I’m sorry to disturb you. Your meal is ready."
The waiter stopped the dining cart and started to place the dishes on the dining table.
"This is a black pepper steak that is 6% cooked. These two portions are cream mushroom soup. There’s also cheese charcoal grilled lobster and smoked salmon. These are all our signature dishes." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"You can try it. If you have any objections, you can tell us," the waiter said to Anita with a smile after the introduction.
"Yes, thank you," Anita said politely as well.
"Then I wish the two of you the best. I won’t disturb you two anymore." After saying that, the waiter pushed the food cart and walked down.
When the waiter left, Owen spoke first. "Hey, try their cream mushroom soup, and this lobster and salmon. They all taste great."
Anita smiled at Owen’s recommendation and picked up her cutlery to take a sip of the cream mushroom soup in front of her. "It’s delicious."
"Yes, it tastes good, doesn’t it? This restaurant really cooks well. The next time we come, we’ll order this cream mushroom soup again," Owen said as he picked up the cutlery and started cutting the steak. "This restaurant’s steak is quite good too, especially since the beef is especially tender."
With that, Owen cut the steak into a few small pieces, then picked it up and placed it in front of Anita. "Try it first."
Anita looked at the steak, which had been cut in front of her, and then at Owen, who hadn’t even eaten a bite.
