"Adding this special additive in food will create an effect of dependency, making them want to come back for more. That is to say, at a certain dose, it could be addictive. Many restaurants add this food additive into their food to keep customers.”
Mark squinted his eyes upon hanging up.
The next morning
After freshening up, Mark got downstairs and went to the restaurant where Summer usually bought her breakfast.
The restaurant was tiny, but it looked neat and filled with patrons in the morning.
Wearing an expensive black suit, Mark looked out of place in this budget restaurant that sold breakfast.
"Horchata, orange juice, and hot chocolate each, takeaway please,” he said.
The waitress acknowledged and processed his order." Would you like any croissants or pancakes?”
"No, thanks.” Mark took the beverages and left.
"He looks so charming, like a celebrity. But the weird thing is, he just bought beverages and nothing else,” the waitress murmured after he left.
Mark did not return to the apartment. He got in the car and went straight to his company, then instructed Harry to send the three beverages to the hospital.
Harry was puzzled by the instruction of the company president. He must be crazy to take the three beverages to the hospital for a lab test.
Mark ignored Harry’s expression. Sitting down on the leather chair and loosening the tie around his neck, he opened the file in front of him.
