James brought Kara downstairs for lunch.
Kara knew that James was particularly sensitive to some smells. It was okay to eat some snacks and desserts that did not carry strong smells in his office. But the smell of a meal would be unbearable to him.
In order not to affect his afternoon business, Kara was willing to go downstairs for lunch.
In the SA Group, there was a whole floor used as a dining hall.
It not only had restaurants and cafes, but it also contained gaming rooms for recreation.
This was the first time Kara had come to this place and felt that it was novel. Holding James’ hand, Kara walked around with full curiosity.
“James, there is a gaming room.” Kara was curious.
“You want to play the games there?” Kara nodded.
“In the past, Arya secretly took me to a gaming room, but we were discovered by Arya’s brother and even got taught a lesson.”
When Kara was little, no one played with her. She was always drawing alone. A big part of Kara’s conception of the world was gained while exploring it with Arya.
“Can I?” Kara blinked her big eyes, her face full of expectation.
“No.”
James held the back of Kara’s neck, turning her face to him.
“Now your destination is the dining hall!”
“Fine…”
Kara was disappointed and followed James with her head lowered.
The dining hall was filled with employees of the SA Group. When they saw James coming over to eat, many women stared at him with strong affection. They even forgot to eat.
“It’s so rare. Mr. James actually came to the dining hall to eat. Wow, where will he sit?” A woman whispered.
“I really hope that he can sit next to me. Then I can see his beautiful face more clearly. Don’t you think that our CEO is even more elegant than those male stars?”
A group of women nodded in agreement.
“What do you mean by ‘more’? Mr. James is THE god. He is so dreamy. He has a good figure, a good look, and a lot of money. The only pity is that he has a fiancée.”
The gossiping women all sighed.
It was such a pity. Such a good man! Why couldn’t James be their fiancé instead?
They couldn’t help but gaze at the woman beside James. Kara was young. Her skin was as white as a pearl, and her amber eyes were quite recognizable.
As for Kara’s face and her figure, the women believed there was nothing special!
“How could this woman become Mr. James’ fiancée?”
Someone compared Kara to themselves and felt that they were quite competitive. They couldn’t help but ask such a question.
“She got lucky. I heard that the CEO’s fiancée escaped the marriage. Then this woman replaced her cousin and became Mr. James’ fiancée.”
Some women were being scornful out of jealousy.
“Well, this woman knows her stuff. She defeated her cousin and became the CEO’s fiancée. The two of them seem to be getting along well. Maybe she will be Mrs. Hemming in the future.”
Some women exclaimed in admiration.
The women kept gossiping.
They kept a low voice.
That was why people always said that men and women looked at women from different perspectives.
When a woman saw a woman prettier than herself, her first reaction was to be picky.
When men saw a good-looking woman, his first reaction was to admire her and then evaluate her. In the end, they would still try to sleep with her.
“James, if you become a star, you will definitely be famous.” Kara felt awkward when being stared at. She walked closer to James.
“Well, how can stars earn more money than CEOs?”
Of course, they couldn’t.
James’ wealth accumulated each second. As long as the company did not lose money or shut down, James was always earning money.
However, entertainers had to take on jobs and film TV shows. They were only rich when they were fully scheduled, yet they weren’t paid when they weren’t.
Therefore, Kara’s boyfriend had a steadier job than some famous stars.
“What are you thinking about? You are smiling weirdly.”
Seeing Kara cover her mouth and smirk, James wondered what was on her mind.
Kara seemed to be blindly optimistic sometimes. She smirked from time to time.
The most terrifying thing was her smirk, which was very infectious, and when James saw her smirk, he couldn’t help smiling as well.
“I just realized how great I am since I’ve found such a fabulous boyfriend. James, do you think I can win the lottery again if I buy it?”
James didn’t see this coming.
James’ brown eyes were deep and his face was cold as he approached.
Lowering his head a little, James softly spat out in Kara’s left ear, “Did you just realize how FABULOUS I am? You are such a slow reactor.”
Kara felt bashful.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in public, Kara would have kicked James.
James’ mind was full of dirty jokes. He flirted with Kara while she was being serious. Kara was annoyed.
James sensed that Kara was a bit annoyed. He worried that she would blow up, so he quickly grabbed her little hand and took her to eat lunch.
Nolan was speechless.
Nolan was following them all the time.
There were private rooms in the dining hall so that the employees might eat together with their business partners. So James directly took Kara to a private room.
Holding the menu, Kara asked what tasted good there and wanted James to recommend some.
James stared at Kara coldly, letting her see for herself.
Kara blinked her big eyes and looked at James timidly. Only then did she realize she had said something wrong.
James had no sense of taste, so he could by no means know the taste of these dishes. Kara didn’t think twice before she plucked out the question.
Kara quickly ordered three vegan dishes and a pork rib corn soup.
“James, you said you would teach me how to deal with the Quains.”
“The quicker, the worse.”
That was the only thing James said to Kara. He then ate quietly.
Kara bit her lips. She was asking a favor from James, so she would have to do it step by step.
The cooks working at the dining hall were all professional. The way they cooked was different from the way Libby cooked. Kara tasted a few bites. The dishes were good.
“Wow, James, it’s delicious. Have a taste of this stir-fried cabbage.”
Kara picked up a few pieces of cabbage for James and placed it in his bowl, staring at him with sparkling eyes.
“First, tell me what it tastes like.” James did not refuse.
Ever since Kara knew that James had no sense of taste, no matter what she ate, she would stuff it into his mouth and then talk about her own experience.
Sometimes, when Kara couldn’t describe it clearly, she would start to act shamelessly and refuse to admit that it was because she didn’t want to eat it that she stuffed it into James’ mouth.
Kara bit her lips and thought about it seriously.
The taste is a very subtle feeling. It provided pictures that could hardly be described through adjectives. The pictures could only be re-pictured through associations.
At that time, Kara once again realized the importance of education.
“A piece of cabbage in my mouth tastes fresh, pure, and juicy.”
Kara thought hard. She looked cute while looking at the ceiling bluntly with her big eyes.
“Oops, and a little sweet. The sweetness is very faint. It’s like … In spring, when the soil is turned over, one can sniff the smell of nature.”
Kara did not know if the description was accurate, but she tried to express her feelings.
“So, you said you tasted soil. Do you mean that the vegetables here have not been washed clean?”
James was a science major. It was a little difficult to talk about associations or pictures with him.
Kara looked at James with a bitter look on her face.
To please James, Kara quickly kissed him on the cheek.
“James, I’m sorry.”
“Little fool, you left a smudge on my face.”
James quickly wiped the place where Kara’s kiss fell with a handkerchief. His face was full of disgust.
“When you were eating, your mouth became greasy. You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
Kara was speechless.
Kara made what she did wrong even worse.
Kara just heaped an error on an error.
Kara obediently sat aside eating, not daring to move.
“Mr. James, there’s an emergency!”
Nolan suddenly pushed open the door and came in with a tense face. Obviously, something bad had happened.
