Chapter 304


    Refusing to ept this lie, he snapped, “No, something is wrong with you. Just shut up and peel.”


    Swallowing my displeasure, I peeled it off as he asked, as he happily ate. The restaurant was packed


    as it was peak hour. All the other female customers had their partner do the peeling for them, but not


    me. Thanks to that, everyone looked at us with strange expressions.


    When they saw how handsome he was and how subservient I looked, everyone thought I was trying to


    tter him. Of course, they looked down on me, but I ignored their res. Good thing I trained myself to


    be shameless now.


    Eric stopped eating the shrimp after the third one, so I started grilling themb. At the same time, he


    picked up the gloves from the table and yed with them before using them. Will he peel the prawns? I


    looked at him and sure enough, he started peeling one.


    God, he’s obviously an amateur at this. Oh no, he’s so clumsy. That’s not how you peel a shrimp. When


    Iughed, he looked at me. “Why are youughing?”


    I quickly walked back to the grill, stifling myughter. When I turned themb over, it had already done


    the shrimp, although there was hardly any meat left. He frowned for a moment, then he ced it on my


    te.


    “I’m not the type of guy who sits around waiting to be fed,” he dered. Man, he’s shameless too. “I


    can do it if I want


    to.”


    “Cool, Mr. Walker.” I smiled at the mangled shrimp before taking themb off the grill. Then, he ced


    two more shrimp on my te. To be fair, they looked better than the first one.


    “I think I paid my three shrimp debt.”


    So he doesn’t like to leave anything on the ount, right?


    “Have some mutton, Mr. Walker.”


    “Do you want me to eat this?” He frowned, as if I’d broken a taboo.


    I knew that n Sigulfur avoided pork, but I didn’t know that Eric didn’t eat mutton. Was he particr


    about it? “You do not like?”


    “Mutton smells like game, so I don’t eat it.”


    “Mutton is super good for you. It helps your stomach in many ways.” My exnation earned me nothing


    but his impatience, so I shut up. More for me then. I dipped themb in the sauce and put it in it.


    Eric was curious to see me eating themb. After a moment’s hesitation, he speared a piece ofmb


    and dipped it in the sauce before popping it into his mouth. “Actually, it’s not bad.”


    “I told you.” I smiled, mocking softly. I thought you didn’t like the smell? But look at you now. Get off


    your pedestal, Eric Walker. You are not the center of the world. As we left after the meal, I asked,


    “Mr. Walker, have you watched ‘An Ancient Tale’?”


    “What are you trying to say?” he asked.


    “There is an episode that talks about a real chef. He brags that he is the best chef in the world, but


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    everyone has discovered that he has no taste buds after eating his food. The real victim here is the


    king, however. He thought he was eating the best food in the world this whole time, but it turned out to


    be just rubbish.”


    “Are you saying I never ate as well as the king?”


    “No, that’s not what I meant. I just think this episode is funny”, I defended myself.


    “Do you think it’s funny? I don’t see how.” He smiled at me, sending a shiver down my spine.

    “I’m really bad with words, but the show is hrious, really.”


    “Serious? So I have to watch it myself when I have time.”

    When we got back to the parking lot, Georgie was still waiting in the same spot. Huh. Does he not need


    to eat?


    After we got in the car, Eric asked, “Are you free tomorrow night?”


    “Why?”


    “I want to invite you to dinner at my house.”


    Something is wrong. I can smell it. “It’s okay,” I quickly declined. “But thanks for your invitation anyway.”


    “Juste. I don’t take no for an answer.”


    Georgie then looked at me in the rearview mirror, her gaze as cold as winter, matching even


    Eric’s. That struck me as odd. I don’t think I ever crossed him, so why did he hate me?


    When I got home, after saying hello to my parents, I went to take a shower, then I heard my phone


    ringing incessantly in the shower. I quickly covered myself with a towel before heading outside to see


    who was calling. “Lily!” Victoria eximed. “Bad news! Eliza cut herself!”
