Chapter 103 Top-tier Restaurant
Elowen stood frozen for a good ten seconds. Suddenly, she snapped back to reality and jogged to catch up with the two who were walking away.
"Mr. Weaver, who is this?" Elowen's blue eyes looked at Alvin, then at Elbert, a bit dazed.
Alvin smiled slightly, "My classmate, the founder of Creator, Elbert Perry."
Even with the confirmation, Elowen still found it hard to believe, but her mind was racing. "Mr. Perry, I apologize for my rudeness earlier! I didn't recognize you."
Elowen instantly put on a charming smile. "I heard you two were going to lunch. I happen to have a reservation at a top French restaurant. Would you like to join me for lunch?"
At this moment, the elderly assistant also hurried over, her face indescribably strange, a cold sweat faintly dripping from her forehead. She forced a calm smile and said, "Yes, we specifically reserved a top French restaurant in Wavehaven with a top French chef just to entertain both of you."
Elowen's voice softened enticingly. "Yes, I was in the same elevator with Mr. Perry, and we also sat in the same lounge; it's quite fortunate."
Alvin looked at Elbert, somewhat puzzled.
Elbert scratched his head and smiled, "I think we’ll pass. Alvin and I also have a reservation at SpicySombrero Dogs! Chef Hannah heard we were coming and made special preparations!"
Alvin covered his mouth, stifling a laugh. He understood Elbert's meaning! Elowen's face turned from white to red, her mouth twitching slightly.
With that, Elbert and Alvin prepared to leave.
"Um, Mr. Perry, can I get your contact information?" Elowen called out from behind, her eyes full of expectation.
Elbert shook his head helplessly, saying over his shoulder, "Add me on the Gemini app!"
Then, Elbert waved his hand and left with Alvin.
Elowen stood frozen in place, her face extremely complicated.
The elderly assistant, however, pouted with a face full of impatience. "What founder? He's just a kid! There's no way he could run a company like Creator! I bet there's a big shot behind him, and he's just a figurehead! I think we shouldn't invest!"
Elowen's face grew increasingly grim. "Seraphina! Shut your mouth! I've told you to be low-key and kind, but you never listen! Now look, you've offended an important person! I don't think you're suitable to be my assistant anymore. Go to HR and get reassigned!"
Elowen finally couldn't bear it and erupted in anger!
The elderly assistant instantly shut up, biting her lip hard but not daring to say anything else. At her age, if she lost this job, finding another decent one would be very difficult.
Elowen sat on the couch, fuming, trying to calm herself down.
'Earlier, President Elbert told me to add him to the Gemini app. But he didn't give me his information! Is he playing with me? But with his status, there's no need for that!' thought she.
Suddenly, Elowen had a flash of inspiration. With trembling hands, she took out her phone, opened the friend add feature on the Gemini app, and tentatively entered a string of numbers: 0000001. Then, an account with almost no extra information appeared. Only a username—Paul Three!
Elowen's pupils shrank sharply!
'Elbert, Paul! Founder of Creator, Gemini app number 01! Everything matched! Elbert, he is Paul Three! The initiator of the million-dollar giveaway! The programmer of the core code of Gemini app! The true mastermind behind Gemini app! The mysterious genius in the emerging startup scene! He didn't even hide his identity from me! And he gave me his contact information! Could it be... '
Thinking for a while, Elowen's face instantly turned red, her ample chest heaving up and down!
At SpicySombrero Dogs, Hannah served two giant hot dogs, smiling, "You two rascals, ever since you graduated, you haven't come here to eat! You've both gotten thinner!"
Elbert looked at the kind Hannah, feeling very peaceful inside. During school, this was his and Alvin's go-to spot. They loved the extra-large hot dogs here! The most touching part was both of them came from average families.
Occasionally, when their living expenses weren't enough for a few months, they'd come to Hannah's and order the cheapest dishes. But Hannah always noticed everything, quietly adding more filling to their hot dogs.
Alvin smiled slightly. "Aunt Hannah, we're here! The hot dogs still taste the same, delicious!"
Hannah gave a simple smile. "As long as you like them. What are you two up to now?"
Elbert scratched his head and smiled, "We're in software development."
"You two are doing great!" Hannah smiled knowingly, "But I've heard that programmers work very hard, sitting in front of a computer for hours without moving. You two, take care of your necks and backs, okay?"
"Okay." These two solemnly nodded to Hannah.
After Hannah left, Elbert and Alvin looked at the massive hot dogs piled high and filling in front of them.
The two wiped their mouths, shared a smile, then looked at each other seriously.
"Let's do it like the old days?"
"Whoever finishes last cleans up!"
"Deal!"
"3, 2, 1! Go!"
The food flew everywhere, their mouths full of oil! Their manners shocked everyone!
"Elbert, you freak, are you an elephant?" Alvin exclaimed.
