The waiter stopped midway when he was about to hand him the menu and turned to look at Hannah.
"Hmmm... Let's see. I know you're not a fan of chili, so let's get a mixed flavor. And can I have this, oh, and this one too..." Hannah picked and chose the toppings and flavors without hesitation. It was obvious she was a regular customer.
"Here you go. That's all we're having for now. Would you like to take a look?" Hannah handed the menu to Fabian.
He took the menu and looked at it. He noticed she had selected many of his favorite dishes. He could not help but smiled. This silly woman actually knows what I like. Well, it looks like she cares about me too.
"Alright, let's have these for now." Fabian handed the menu back to the waiter. Then, he turned to look at Hannah with his eyes gleaming and said, "You seemed to know my favorite dishes very well."
Hannah flushed in embarrassment as she explained, "Erm, not really. We just happened to have similar taste in food."
Fabian grinned, "Are you sure about that? Because your cheeks are as red as a tomato."
Hannah quickly covered her face and realized her cheeks were burning when she heard those words. "Yea, that's because it's really hot in here. Yup, it must be the weather," she hurriedly explained.
Fabian's affection for her instantly grew. He thought this particular side of Hannah was incredibly adorable as he stared at her lovingly.
"Honey, look at them. Look how cute that couple over there are! Look how sweet and affectionate he was to his girlfriend. Whereas, look at how you treat me! You're nowhere near romantic," a girl complained.
Hannah turned in the direction of the girl and realized she was referring to herself. Hannah's cheeks became even flushed.
How is this affectionate? And how could you tell that I am overjoyed?
"Oh, my dear Ms. Young. Why are you blushing madly? Are you feeling very warm?" Fabian teased as he fiddled a spoon in one hand.
