Compared with other canteens, Davies’ canteen was a dining club with exquisite style and elegant decoration. What’s more, the food in the canteen can match those in star hotels.
Therefore, many employees liked having free meals in the canteen.
“Abby, this way. Let’s get the tableware.” Along the way, Luka, who was passionate and cheerful, had been making introduction for Abby all the way, as if she were the boss there.
She took Abby to the disinfection cabinet where the dishes and chopsticks were placed. She said, “The food here is really wonderful. Sauce pork, chicken, fried tripe, spareribs soup… Every dish has its own features…”
With Luka’s introduction, the two took their own dishes and went to the crystal table where the food placed.
At noon, most of Davies’ employees came to the canteen.
After a while, Abby and Luka took their own plates of food, found a place and sat down.
Luka glanced at Abby’s plate with just a little food. She asked curiously, “Abby, do you eat such little food every day? No wonder you are so slim.” Said, she looked at the lunch-box in front of her, which was heavy with several kinds of vegetables. She was embarrassed to smile, said, “It seems that there must be a reason for being thin. I must be on a diet. After I’ve finished this meal, I will start losing weight.”
Abby smiled, “This is the normal amount for me.”
They started to have lunch. The food in the canteen was as delicious as Luka said. It was not exaggerating at all. From time to time, some passing colleagues smiled and said hello to them.
Although not everyone knew Abby, she also nodded with them, smiling.
Suddenly, someone called out. “Look, isn’t that our president? He came to the canteen!” All eyes moved to the direction of the entrance.
Abby also heard it. Following the sound, she saw Brian, in noble business attire, was tall and handsome like a god.
Abby got confused and nervous at once.
‘Does he usually eat in the canteen? However, judging from the reaction of other colleagues, it seems that the answer is negative.’
“Wow! It’s our president! It’s our president! Abby, I can’t stand it. My heart is going to stop beating.” Luka completely ignored her image that her mouth was full of food. She was as happy as she saw something terrific. “Our president has lunch in our canteen! I am so happy! I can enjoy my meal with Mr. Davies.”
Looking at the ecstatic look of Luka, Abby was speechless.
The man standing at the door was still distinctive. He nodded with his colleagues in his usual smile and greeted them with his eyes. That pair of dark and deep eyes, when turning to the direction of Abby, seemed to have a pause intentionally.
At this glance, Abby felt that her breathing was less smooth than just now.
“Wow! Mr. Davies just looked at me! Abby, have you seen it? He just gave me a glance!” Luka was so excited that she almost jumped with joy.
“Oh, really? I didn’t notice that.” Abby answered perfunctorily.
Abby thought Brian should have come for her subconsciously. Because she didn’t get his permission before she left the president’s office in the morning.
What a stingy man!
Abby frowned and thought about what to do. Also, there was also an empty seat beside them. Will he…?
“Hello.” It happened that a male colleague, who Abby did not know, passed by her with a plate. He should be looking for a place. “Here’s a seat.”
The colleague felt flattered at once, “Thank you very much.” He sat down.
Luck was angry, her eyes glaring, but she didn’t want to say plainly.
And this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Brian, who had just finished picking up his food.
‘The damned woman! She dared to flirt with another man in front of me. She simply never cared a pin for me.’ But in view of that so many people were there, Brian couldn’t vent his dissatisfaction. He swept around with a sharp glance and found an unoccupied seat.
“Wow! It’s Mr. Davies! He is coming towards us.”
On one side of the table sat a few young girls, whose face couldn’t hide excitement. What’s more, some female colleagues turned their head away and quietly fixed their makeup.
Brian took his seat, smiling at his female subordinates. And girls there were too busy paying attention to this attractive man to eat.
Lowering her head, Abby tried to remain in the background. Still, she could feel the burning gaze of the man not far ahead.
‘What on earth did you want to do?’
‘Why do you fix your eye on me?’
Abby gently swallowed a mouthful of food, secretly raising eyebrows, stole a glance at the man.
‘Still watching. He’s still watching me.’
‘If you keep doing it, I’ll glower at you.’
With these thoughts, Abby really raised her eyes again and gave him a black look.
The man on the opposite side saw the pair of glaring eyes. However, he didn’t restrain himself, but gave her back an angry glance.
Were they comparing their eye size with each other?
Brian didn’t confess and wanted to show that his were bigger.
Well, you win. Abby was speechless, face red, admitted the defeat and lowered her head. It was not because she was afraid, but because she felt the gaze of the people around her.
The scene of being carried into their company by Brian in the morning was enough to make her stand on the apex of everybody’s attention. If she made another scene in the canteen, she will surely become famous in Davies Group.
She didn’t want to be a target.
“By the way, I don’t know your name yet.”
At this time, the male colleagues sitting next to Abby also couldn’t focus on his meal. With an ordinary look, he had never been invited by beauties, so he grasped the opportunity to talk to her.
“Luka.” Luka answered more quickly. But her voice sound unhappy.
The male colleague felt a little bit awkward, but he could only nod with a smile. Then he turned his head and looked at the pretty woman, “What about you?”
“Hi, my name is Abby.” Abby replied politely.
“Roost Jefferson.” The man laughed with excitement.
“Rooster?” Luka suddenly burst out laughing, “I never saw a person’s name like Rooster.”
Roost was very embarrassed by the laugh. He rolled his eyes and said, “Roost! It was the transformation of ‘boost’!”
Abby didn’t think of it at first. Hearing Luka’s words, she couldn’t help chuckling.
