Chapter 419 A Restaurant Befitting Marlon (2/2)

”No, you're wrong, Joyce!” he persisted. Joyce was not to be put down

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

”You are inexperienced in bed,” he said coldly.

”You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce,” Jean replied furiously.

”Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about,” he sneered.

Sea City.”

”Wonderful! That is so nice of you!” Marlon responded with an equally big smile. Purely out of an old habit, he reached out and patted Rachel on the shoulder. But, he immediately snatched his hand back when he saw Carl glare at him.

To shake off the embarrassment, he glanced down at his watch and noted,”It's nearly eleven, and I am starving. Let's set the job aside for now, and have lunch first, shall we?”

Rachel had known Marlon for very long and had expected this. She grinned and said,”Of course! I have reserved a table at a fancy restaurant, and I believe you will love it!”

Marlon's eyebrows jumped up; clearly taken aback, he said,”Wow, only a few days has past, but you're really surprising me! Thank you!”

”Now let's go! I have another surprise waiting for you!” Rachel replied laughingly. Marlon was a huge foodie, and his eyes would light up every single time he heard anyone talk about food.

The restaurant Rachel had chosen was only a short distance away from the airport and they arrived after a brief journey.

When Marlon stepped inside the restaurant, his eyes widened in awe, while his mouth dangled open; he was almost drooling. Meanwhile, Carl, who walked in behind Marlon, stopped in his tracks and immediately looked down, at the ground, bashfully.

It was also Rachel's first time at the restaurant, and it was luxuriously breath-taking. But, she couldn't afford to behave like the two men; she was a lady.

”So what do you think of the restaurant, Mr. Xi? Are you satisfied?” Rachel asked jokingly.

All the waitresses at the restaurant were walking around, dressed in swim-suits, serving the dishes or pouring out the wine. Marlon nodded as he swallowed a mouth full of saliva and replied,”Wow, I cannot possibly be more satisfied!”

As they sat down, Rachel couldn't help but laugh at his honest and uninhibited reaction and shook her head. She patted Carl lightly on his shoulder; another residual old habit. Marlon made a conspicuous effort to reserve his hands which did not go unnoticed by her.

”Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! Would you like to see our menu or are you ready to order?” asked a pretty waitress in a turquoise blue swimming suit. She bestowed Marlon with a winning smile as she placed the menu on their table.

”Yes, please!” quipped up Marlon. ”But first I need to ask you for a favour- can you do me the honour of giving me your phone number, Gorgeous?” Marlon asked teasingly, and winked at her.
