Who would have thought that Mr. Hughes, one of the top directors in the entertainment industry, would choose to have lunch in such an ordinary restaurant?
However, Megan realized she had the wrong idea after stepping foot into the restaurant. It looked like everyone in the entertainment industry knew that this is Pierce's usual lunch spot.
This is because every single diner had on a mask and a cap. Megan noticed a woman, who was eating noodles with her mask down, was one of the four rising female stars in the industry.
She stared at Pierce's figure helplessly but realized he was staring back at her sarcastically.
She raised her brow in surprise. Pierce looked like he was used to it by now. It must have been the norm for him to be surrounded by people as one of the leading figures in showbiz.
“Two bowls of beef noodles please.”
“Coming right up, Mr. Hughes!”
Pierce ordered beef noodles to eat in calmly even after noticing the situation in the shop.
Megan felt a little embarrassed after seeing how cool Pierce was about the situation. She ordered a bowl of beef noodles as well after looking through the menu.
The two of them were about to pay for their meal when the shop owner waved them away. He cooked the noodles and said, “Someone would come along just to pay for your lunch every day. I still owe you a few thousand, so you don't need to pay for this.”
The shop owner looked like an honest man. Megan was shocked to learn that someone would actually come all the way just to pay for Pierce's lunch.
However, she knew that Pierce was so arrogant that he would never let anyone make him feel like he owes them anything.
Sure enough, Pierce wrinkled his nose in disgust when he heard the shop owner's words.
