The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 784

After giving Daniel a piece of her mind, Brittany’s stomach growled, audibly hungry. She glanced at her wristwatch and realized it was almost 6 PM.

No wonder she was hungry—it was dinner time.

"Country boy, it's already 6 PM. Let’s skip reporting back to the office and go straight to eating steak!" Brittany suggested.

"Aren’t you going to report our progress to Jessica? Is this how you fulfill your role as an assistant?" Daniel questioned.

"What progress? We accomplished nothing today. Are we supposed to report that tonight you're dragging Perry and me to Golden Light Hill for some ghost-busting adventure? Your crazy ideas only make sense to me. If you say that to Jessica, she’ll fire you on the spot! So, by having you treat me to dinner and skipping the report, I’m actually helping you keep your job! Considering I’m doing such a big favor, one dinner isn’t enough. You owe me, and you’ll have to treat me next time too!"

With just a few words, Brittany had cleverly twisted things to get another meal out of Daniel.

"What? How do I owe you another meal?" Daniel was baffled.

"Because I said so! Do you have a problem with that?" Brittany replied indignantly.

"Brittany, if you keep pushing me to treat you to dinner—and now you want a second one—are you hinting that I should date you?" Daniel chuckled.

"Dream on! Do you think a jerk like you could date me? Look at yourself. You’re not worthy!" Brittany snapped.

"Brittany, I may not know what I am, but I know everyone has the right to pursue love, even the ugliest person in the world. So I don't see why you think you’re so special."
