Kathleen had a huge headache when Charlie mentioned The Heaven Springs.
In her heart, she thought, ‘The Heaven Springs does have good food, but no matter how good they are, I can't bear to eat them daily!’
‘Besides, I’m already a regular there. Charlie may overthink when he knows about it. It’s not a good idea to go there.’
She stopped her train of thoughts and smiled at Charlie. "Mr. Wade, I’ve been to The Heaven Springs already. The food is really good, but it’s such a waste t o eat there. Do we have any other options? I think a simple meal like this would be great..."
Charlie asked in surprise, "Oh? Did you go to The Heaven Springs before? Oops! I should have informed the boss earlier to waive the bill for you."
Charlie then suggested, “How about this? I’ll give The Heaven Springs’ owner a call later and tell him not to charge you whenever you go there for a meal."
Kathleen quickly stopped him, "That’s not needed! The owner established the restaurant to do business. How can I make him waive my bill? Mr. Wade, that’s far too kind of you..."
Charlie wasn't trying to be so nice to her at first. He simply treated her as a lab rat and was playing with
her to see how she would panic later.
Charlie said, "In that case, I'll search for a place with unique delicacies. Then, I'll invite you for a meal soon."
Kathleen was very delighted to hear that. She nodded repeatedly and said with a sweet smile, "I'm still new t o Aurous Hill. Mr. Wade, you’re my only friend in the area. I'll be in your care for now."
Charlie replied, "Don't worry about it. You can count o n me!"
He then checked the time and smiled. "Ms. Jane, it's already so late. Shall we call it a day?"
