Chapter 96 Difficult Decision
Ding-
The elevator's soft sound rang.
Wilber impatiently pressed the open button, in a hurry.
Exiting the company's gate, he saw a luxury car parked by the roadside.
The person inside was waving at him.
"Miss Holly!"
Wilber took three steps forward, restraining his excitement, and smiled at her.
"I heard that no one in your company eats on time."
"Has Mr. Gilbert eaten?"
"Do you want to have lunch together?"
Wilber's expression froze.
He had just finished eating and returned.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Holly's sweet smile faded slightly. She pouted her red lips, as if acting coquettish.
"Has Mr. Gilbert already eaten?"
"If only I had called you beforehand."
"It's all my fault, being careless..."
She lightly tapped her forehead, seemingly regretful.
Wilber immediately grabbed her wrist, stopping her action.
"No, no, I haven't eaten yet."
"Since Miss Holly has asked, how can I refuse?"
Holly's eyes lit up, like a pure and clear spring, clean and transparent, revealing everything with just one glance.
Her hand pulled back slightly, her fingertips casually brushing against his palm, and then pulled back completely.
The inadvertent contact instantly made Wilber's heart race.
"Get in the car."
"Alright."
As soon as they got in and closed the door,
Holly's body leaned over.
The delicate and refreshing scent of citrus on a woman was particularly sweet, diffusing a hint of tenderness.
Her hand brushed past Wilber and hooked onto the seatbelt.
She helped him buckle up.
“Mr. Gilbert, be careful, she drives very fast.”
Wilber unconsciously swallowed his saliva, not taking her words seriously.
After all, what level of driving could this petite and cute woman reach?
Holly sat up straight, a hint of cunning flashed in her innocent eyes.
On this spacious road, she stepped on the gas pedal and accelerated at a fast speed!
Wilber’s heart was almost lifted in an instant.
The wind whistled past his ears, making a buzzing sound.
He widened his eyes, not knowing where to grab, only able to see the cars swiftly passing by.
Holly suddenly turned the steering wheel, brushing shoulders with a car, leaving a mark on its body without any courtesy.
Eddy inside the car frowned unhappily, looking at the rapidly departing car, and complained, "Is she in a hurry to die?"
He accelerated and chased after her.
When the car finally stopped steadily, Wilber couldn't control himself anymore and violently vomited after getting off the car.
His meticulously styled hair was in disarray, blown into a mess, and he looked extremely disheveled.
“Mr. Gilbert, are you okay?”
Holly 'worriedly' walked up and handed him a bottle of water.
Wilber felt embarrassed beyond measure.
There was a strong unpleasant smell in the air.
"Sorry, I didn't know you get motion sickness..."
Holly said with a touch of grievance.
But deep down, she sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, she learned some petty tricks from Luann, so she could deal with this scum today!
Wilber’s mouth twitched.
All the reproachful words vanished when looking at Holly's lovely face.
“It’s alright...”
"Then let's go in quickly, I'm hungry."
After entering the restaurant, the two of them sat in a glass booth on the second floor, where they could see the view downstairs.
The waiter brought two menus.
Wilber glanced at the prices of the dishes and couldn’t help but be amazed.
He usually spends a lot, but he didn't expect this place to be so expensive.
“Miss Holly, please order first.”
Holly softly hummed, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“I have a big appetite, don’t make fun of me, Mr. Gilbert.”
Wilber looked at her petite figure and found it amusing.
“You can eat to your heart’s content, I’ll treat you today.”
A mischievous spark flickered in Holly's blinking eyes, "Then I won't hold back!"
After saying that, she lowered her head and pointed at the menu with her finger.
“This one, and this one, also this one, and this one.”
Wilber looked at her ordering with a relaxed expression and felt relieved.
As expected, she wouldn’t be able to eat much either.
But he didn't expect...
“Except for these few, bring everything else.”
The waiter paused for a moment, thinking that he heard wrong.
“Are there other friends coming later?”
"It's just the two of us."
“Miss, you won’t be able to finish all this food.”
"It's okay, I like leftovers. Bring them all."
“The portion is large.”
Wilber's heart skipped a beat, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak steadily.
“...Miss Holly, let’s not waste food. Just order as much as we can eat.”
"It's okay, if Mr. Gilbert thinks I'm spending too much, I'll pay for myself. Is that alright?" Holly supported her chin with her hand and said something that embarrassed him.
It’s difficult to give up.
How could Wilber, a person who cares about his reputation, lose face in front of a rich woman?
He can’t have both the fish and the bear’s paw.
Wilber took a risk!
“Miss Holly, it’s just a meal. I can afford it.”
"I'm just afraid you won't be able to finish it and it will go to waste."
Hearing him say this, the waiter no longer tried to persuade them and went to place their order.
“It’s okay, if we can’t finish it, we still have you, right?”
Wilber smiled reluctantly.
A car parked downstairs.
Eddy got out of the car and glanced at Holly's luxury car parked to the side, then leisurely walked in.
But to his surprise, as soon as he went upstairs, he found the two of them chatting and laughing.
“Isn’t that Luann’s ex-boyfriend, Wilber?”
Eddy's brows instantly furrowed.
“Why is Holly with this man?”
He bypassed their line of sight and casually sat at a table, silently observing their every move.
“This is foie gras, it’s delicious, try it.”
Holly cut a small piece and put it on Wilber's plate, with a sweet smile on her face.
Wilber had just recovered from motion sickness and felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he didn't have much appetite for this kind of thing.
But he still reluctantly ate it.
The taste was indeed good, but unfortunately, in his current state, no matter how delicious the food was, it couldn't arouse the slightest interest in him.
“This soup is also delicious.”
"And this steak..."
Holly enthusiastically recommended dishes to him, handing them over one after another.
After a short while of eating, Wilber’s stomach started churning and he felt nauseous.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "I can't eat anymore."
"Ah... that won't do, there's still a lot left, and I'm full too." Holly lightly bit her lip with her pearly teeth. "Didn't you say we can't waste?"
After speaking, she cut another piece of steak and handed it over.
Wilber covered his mouth, feeling his chest surging uncontrollably.
He stood up and reluctantly said, "Sorry, I urgently need to use the restroom."
After he left, Eddy approached with displeasure.
What is this woman up to?
Why is she treating Luann’s ex-boyfriend so well?
What is she plotting?
