Josephine awkwardly cleared her throat, but soon, she heard the whispering of the young female
servers around her. They were praising how handsome the man who entered the barbeque restaurant
was.
Sure enough, Ethan had charmed all the young waitresses in the restaurant as soon as he walked in.
Meanwhile, Ethan didn’t seem ufortable at the attention that he was getting at all. He was then
served by a rtively innocent-looking waitress. He asked her questions whenever he didn’t
understand something, and his amber-like eyes made her blush and stutter the entire time.
This scene, however, was seen by Josephine, who suddenly felt ufortable when she saw Ethan
smiling charmingly at the waitress. Josephine didn’t feel like ordering anything, so she left it to Luke to
do it for her. Luke ordered all the dishes on the menu as if he was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough
for Josephine to eat. In reality, he had nned to take her to an upscale steakhouse, but since she
wanted barbeque, heplied.
Finally, Ethan finished ordering his food, and as soon as the waitress left, his gaze shifted toward
Josephine. He gave her a charming wink and a mischievous smile. At that moment, Josephine
suddenly realized how charming his smile was. As she held her teacup, she smiled back politely and
decided not to look at him anymore. After all, she was here with Luke, so why was she staring at him
the whole time? It didn’t seem fair to Luke.
“Joey, my grandfather is turning 60 this week, and he’s definitely invited your grandfather. Come and
join us for a meal and celebration.”
“Uh, let’s see. I have a lot of work to do, and I’m resuming work tomorrow.” Josephine politely declined,
not exactly interested in attending gatherings with the older generation. “I hope you cane.” Luke
looked at her with pleading eyes.
“We shall see. I need to go to the bathroom,” Josephine said as she got up from her seat. She felt too
ufortable with Ethan being there, as if his presence had affected the vibe so much that it made
her feel hot and suffocating, but it was clearly spring.
As soon as Josephine entered the toilet cubicle, two female waitresses walked in and started talking
about Ethan. “Wow! He must be mixed-race! He has facial features that don’t look local.” “He’s such a
perfect-looking mixed-raced man! He’s like a real-life domineering CEO!”

“Exactly, being near him makes me feel nervous!” “I wonder why he came to our restaurant alone to eat
barbeque.” “Hey, I noticed something. He seems to be constantly looking at that girl at the next table.
Could it be that he came here for her?”
“Oh my god! That girl is so lucky to be pursued by such a handsome man. She is blessed!” Josephine,
who was inside the cubicle, couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Being pursued wasn’t necessarily a
blessing; it was also a form of pressure. She couldn’t be sure if Ethan went there to eat because of her.
What if he just wanted food? She believed that she shouldn’t tter herself. Otherwise, the bacsh
could be painful.
After she got out of the cubicle, she washed her hands and returned to her seat. She then saw Ethan
sitting under the light and wearing a ck shirt that perfectly matched the surroundings. He seemed to
be glowing, and even his hair strands were so good-looking.
On the other hand, Luke, who was sitting beside her, was irritated as Ethan clearly ruined his date with
Josephine. Moreover, his existence overshadowed Luke’s advantages, leaving him with no chance.
This is truly outrageous. After Josephine sat down, Luke instantly suggested, “Hey, let’s change seats
and move to a private room.”
“Why?” Josephine asked. “Because there’s someone I don’t want to see, and he’s affecting my
appetite,” he replied. Hearing that, sheforted him, “It’s okay. There’s just two of us so it’s
inappropriate to change to a private room.”
“What’s inappropriate about it? I could easily buy this barbeque restaurant.” Luke took the chance to
unt his wealth.
