"I can buy you a meal. I can even let you..."
Minerva stopped mid-sentence and did not continue anymore. She just looked at the man behind the counter with a pitiful gaze. The man was stunned. To be honest, the woman truly looked very good. When she was not crying, her eyes were so bright that they could express her mind. When she looked at a person, she could make that person's heart flutter. However, in just a blink of an eye, she started crying again. Her tears were as clear as crystals. Her eyes were hazy. The way she looked simply made others pity her. Which man would not take pity on such a woman?
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have begged you. I... I'm leaving." Minerva turned around and left.
"Wait." The man called out.
With tears in her eyes, Minerva immediately looked at that man with a smile. "I'll treat you to lunch at noon, and then I can tell you everything in detail. Is that alright?"
The man nodded. He did not want to nod. He felt that it was too absurd. Recently, he had done too many absurd things.
However, on second thought, since he had already done some absurd things, it did not matter to do it again.
"At noon, I'll treat you to something good." The man was already imagining a romantic lunch. It would be best if something else could happen. It would be best if he did not need to take responsibility for whatever happened.
"Alright. Thank you,” Minerva kept thanking him. After that, she took out a piece of paper with her contact number on it from her bag and gave it to the man. Then, she asked him for his contact number. Only then did she leave with satisfaction. When she left the entrance of the hospital, Nigel was already waiting for her in the car.
"How was it?"
"A great success! He's buying me lunch at noon today,” Minerva said smugly.
Nigel smiled. "Look how smug you look!"
