Xenia Xu blushed and she seemed hesitant. However, when she saw that Fade Chen was about to go out, she suddenly said, "Doctor Chen, wait a minute. I would like to treat you for dinner."
"Oh!" Fade Chen was surprised and then grinned, "Xenia, why? Isn't a date?"
Xenia Xu immediately blushed and said, "Of course not. Please don't overthink, Dr. Chen. I just wanted to express my gratitude since you helped me in the afternoon"
"Well, I see. As my lovely colleague invites me to dinner, I must say yes." Fade Chen smiled and said, "Let's go. I'm starving."
"Alright!" The young lady smiled and quickly began to pack up.
Forty minutes later, they arrived in a street full of restaurants.
After parking the bike, the two of them walked halfway down the street. Fade Chen decided to get some casual snacks, but Xenia Xu insisted that they go to a proper restaurant.
They walked into the restaurant and called for the waiter to order food. Suddenly, they heard a woman saying. "Hey, Xenia, are you dining here too?"
Xenia Xu turned her head and saw a fashionable young girl with heavy makeup flashing her eyes at them with a smile.
"Christine Fan, what a coincidence!" Xenia Xu greeted her with a smile and introduced Fade Chen at the same time, "This is my classmate."
"Waiter, I'm going to change my seat. When other guests come, let them sit here." Christine Fan moved immediately to Xenia Xu's table and said with a smile, "Xenia Xu, we have graduated for a year and I haven't seen you around. Are you still working in Bay City?"
"Yeah, I'm still working at Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc." Xenia Xu said softly, but her tone wasn't too welcoming.
When Christine Fan heard this, her eyes brightened, and she sighed with emotion, "Hey, Xenia, you are really good! You've joined a big company as soon as you graduated. The work is easy and it's also a privileged work there. I've been working as a nurse in the city hospital for a year. I finally just got promoted after such a long time."
This woman seemed to be complaining about her job, but the meaning behind her words made Fade Chen frown. He understood why Xenia Xu didn't like to speak with her.
"Really? You've been promoted. Congratulations," Xenia Xu said blandly, without a hint of envy.
Christine Fan couldn't help but frown slightly, and her expression was a little bit disappointed. At that moment, the crisp snap of the leather shoes sounded, and a man in his early thirties, dressed carefully, came over.
Seeing him, Christine Fan immediately smiled and waved to the man, saying, "Zach, come here."
The man came over and glanced at Fade Chen and Xenia Xu. He was clearly surprised and smiled as his eyes landed on Xenia Xu.
"Why did you change your seat?" The man sat opposite Christine and asked.
Christine Fan looked at Xenia Xu and said, "I met my ex-classmate. Come over and have a chat."
When Zach Wang heard the word "classmate", he couldn't help looking at Xenia Xu again. With a bright smile on his face, he took the initiative to reach out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Zach. Christine's colleague at the city hospital."
Xenia Xu felt uncomfortable when Zach Wang looked at her. Instead of reaching out to her hand, she picked up her teacup and said lightly, "I'm Xenia, Christine's classmate."
