Chapter 167

The two of them were arguing when they heard Hunter speak, "If there's nothing important, I'll go back first."

Emmett took a deep breath and pointed over with his hand.

"Look, just look at his attitude. Whenever we mention women, he wants to leave. Who does he expect to wait for him? It's already a miracle that he hasn't married his computer. I think he'll just spend the rest of his life clinging to the money he earns."

Hunter turned around directly, too lazy to bother.

Lena silently pushed his wheelchair and found it amusing when the compartment door behind her closed.

Hunter heard her soft laughter and felt a bit gloomy, "Is it really that funny?"

These words seemed to have sprung out from between the teeth.

Lena's laughter immediately stopped.

"I just felt that Mr. Wright made a lot of sense, but there's nothing wrong with Mr. Reid either. There are very few people like you in today's society."

Treating emotions sincerely, willing to wait for someone for so many years.

Hunter lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.

Lena pushed him all the way out, and along the way, they encountered many people who were familiar with Hunter. They all respectfully stopped and greeted him.

Hunter ignored everything and had no idea what he was thinking.

After getting on the car, Lena intended to step on the gas pedal, but she heard him say, "I'm feeling a bit hungry."

The boss was hungry, so she naturally had to solve this problem.

But those high-end restaurants required advance reservations, and if Hunter wanted to eat at a street food stall, he probably wouldn't be able to find a seat.

She had just wanted to speak when she heard him ask, "Can't I come to your house?"

Lena's mind "clanged" and then she refused.

"Well, in the past, there wasn't really any problem, but now I have a boyfriend. It's easy for people to have wrong ideas when a man and a woman are alone together. My boyfriend also tends to get jealous, and he even asked me who I like better between him and you. So, it's a bit complicated..."

She was very conflicted about what she said. In the past, it was no big deal to invite Hunter to her house for a meal, but now she has to consider this issue.

And honestly speaking, if Mr. H had invited someone of the opposite sex to his house alone, she would have felt a bit uncomfortable.

She was afraid that Hunter would get angry. After all, it had only been a few hours since the contract matter, and now it was her time for redemption. But she ended up blatantly rejecting his request to join him for a meal, which seemed ungracious no matter how you looked at it.

Hunter's mouth suddenly curved.

"Well, having a boyfriend means you should pay attention to these things, and in the future, remember to reject other opposite-sex individuals in this way."

Lena breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood improved as well.

"So I always thought Mr. Reid, you were a good person, well-mannered and understanding, even though you couldn't come to my house, I can take you to eat at a local food stall, as long as you don't mind. It was recommended to me by Joanna, and she said it's very clean."

Hunter looked out of the window, although his emotions were not apparent, Lena just felt that he was in a very good mood.

He leaned back, his eyelashes trembling for a few seconds, "Then go."

The car stopped in front of the roadside stall, and Lena pushed Hunter out. Then they saw Joanna.

Joanna was wearing an apron and helping to serve the dishes.

When she saw Hunter, everything in her hands almost fell to the ground, and then she bit her lip.

"Lena, Mr. Reid."

Lena pushed Hunter towards one of the clean tables and then pulled Joanna over.

"Did you work here?"

"No, this is my relative's restaurant. I just came over to help out in my free time and have some free late-night snacks."

She was speaking, but her gaze occasionally fell on Hunter.

Lena patted her shoulder and said, "Bring up the best food, not too spicy, Mr. Reid seems to have a mild taste."

Joanna nodded and went to the kitchen.

Lena came and sat down next to Hunter, and diligently sterilized the dishes and utensils for him with boiling water.

Just waiting like this seemed a bit awkward, so she started looking for a topic.

"Has Mr. Reid been having trouble sleeping recently? I noticed that your dark circles have improved a lot. Did you find a more effective sleeping pill?"

His complexion has indeed been very good these past few days, and the aura that repels people from a distance has also diminished significantly.

Hunter looked at the bowl she pushed and "hmm"ed.

Lena thought that she couldn't really have a conversation with him, as he always liked to mumble.

Just as the silence fell, Joanna brought the dishes up.

Lena saw that she had brought eight dishes, which was a bit too much, so she pulled her to sit down and eat together.

But Joanna quickly glanced at Hunter and refused.

"No, it's not necessary. I'm afraid Mr. Reid might not be accustomed to it."

Lena suddenly remembered that Hunter usually ate his meals at home in small portions, even when they returned to the Reid family's old house, everyone would still use separate chopsticks first. It was her oversight.

She quickly used an unused fork to pick up some food for him and put it in the small bowl next to him, smiling at him.

"Is this okay?"

Hunter didn't say anything, so Lena bravely pulled Joanna to sit down as well.

Joanna ate very nervously, taking small bites and occasionally glancing at Hunter, only to quickly look away.

Lena could understand, after all, anyone who saw someone with the identity of Hunter would be wary.

Moreover, Joanna was still working at Moonlight Lounge, which was her top client, so she dared not be reckless.

The meal was very dull. Lena saw Hunter eating slowly and quickly poured him a glass of juice.

"Mr. Reid, did you drink this? I heard it was freshly squeezed by the boss himself."

Hunter handed her the cup.

The cup was small, and the fingertips of the two people would inevitably touch.

Lena shrank for a moment, almost dropping the cup to the ground.

Hunter frowned, seemingly asking her why she had done that.

Lena quickly explained, "I was just afraid that my boyfriend would get angry if he found out. Although he listened to me, I felt it was quite difficult to pacify him."

Joanna, sitting across from me, instantly widened her eyes, a glimmer of joy flickering in them.

"Lena, have you made up with Hayden? I knew it, you still can't let go of him, but isn't he getting married? You..."

"It wasn't Hayden."

Lena's face was polite and calm. "If there was a chance, I would take him out. He doesn't like to come out and meet people now."

Joanna was also very happy, her eyes were red with excitement.

"Okay, okay, Hayden is not necessary, as long as you like it."

During the remaining time, no one spoke.

After Lena put Hunter in the car, she was pulled by Joanna to talk.

"Lena, was your boyfriend the Reid family?"

"No, just a waiter."

Joanna was stunned for a few seconds and felt a bit awkward. "Oh, I see. As long as you like it, that's good. By the way, I have some free time recently, so I can come and see you. It's been a long time since we last went shopping together. You can also buy something for your boyfriend, maybe he will like it and it will enhance your relationship."

Lena never really thought about this question. Currently, Mr. H is so insecure, maybe it's because she hasn't paid enough attention to him in the past. If she bought him some more things, would he also feel that she is serious?

She was indeed serious this time, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to his recklessness.

Lena's idea was simple: if she didn't like someone, she wouldn't get into bed with them.
