Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 98

Jean couldn't stand the silence any more. Luckily, the waiter came and served the dishes. Jean initiated a conversation and said, "Hmm, I haven't introduced you to each other yet. Ethan, this is John, assistant of boss Sonny and… "

"We've met a couple of times before." Ethan said before Jean could even finish her words.

Jean paused and realized that Ethan and their company had been working together. It was just normal if they knew each other already.

She could hardly remember anything.

Embarrassed, Jean said no more. During the following dinner time, they were eating quietly.

She never thought she would be eager to finish what she was eating. John ordered ten dishes even if they were only three people there. It seemed that they won't be able to eat it all up even though she was hungry.

They sat by the table and ate for a long while already. Yet, there were still five barely touched dishes.

"John, you seem to have a good appetite today. How about eating more?" Jean anxiously asked after she saw that there were so many dishes left on the table.

John seemed to recognize that Jean wanted to leave immediately. He calmly said, "I don't know what Mr. Lei likes to eat. So I ordered all foods that look delicious. I thought that both of you got good appetite. I couldn't believe that you just slightly ate."

Ethan was looking at Jean all the time. After he heard what John said, he simply replied, "That's alright! I'm not a picky eater, just like Jean."

He said as he picked a slice of meat up and put it into Jean's plate. Then, Ethan said with concern, "Have some more. You are getting thinner. If you continue to eat like that, you will soon become a skeleton."

"Thank you." Jean forced a smile. She was already full. She couldn't help but belch after she looked at the slice of meat in her plate.

Their table turned awkwardly quiet again after she belched.

John and Ethan both looked at her with a shock in their eyes.

Jean's face immediately turned red. She just belched in front of two men. How embarrassing!

She instantly lowered her head. She desperately wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide inside it that time.

She had never done something as embarrassing as that. What's more? She had done it in front of two men.

"Haha! It seems like Jean is already full. I'll ask for the bill, " said Ethan. He was about to stand up to pay the bill.

"We can't let Mr. Lei pay the bill. I ordered the food, so I should pay for it, " John said. He showed no emotions on his face at all.

Ethan quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry about it. It was I who asked you to order. So, of course, I should pay for it. Just take this as my way of thanking you for taking good care of Jean at your company."

After he had uttered his words, he went to the reception desk and paid for their order.

Jean raised her head. She already felt less embarrassed that time.

She turned and looked at John. John just sat there and drunk a glass of water enjoyably. Jean doubted if John was really going to pay the bill.

"You have already known that Ethan will pay for it. So you ordered a lot of foods, right?" Jean asked John directly. She seemed to recognize his scheme.

John put down the glass he held and looked at Jean, "You are such a smart girl!"

Jean thought for a while. She didn't understand what John meant. Then she asked him again, "Why did you want Ethan to pay the bill? And how did you know that he will surely pay for it?"
