Chapter 504 - Clingy (2/2)

Rui chuckled and countered, ”You have to get used to it since it's going to be a part of your life now… I mean… it's a part of my work. My resume includes clinginess as my job description. If you have any doubts, you can ask your grandfather about it.

Oh, and not to mention he wants me to stick with you like we've been glued together since he's afraid that something might happen to you here while he is not around.”

Cali no longer commented because there was no use of it, plus knowing how protective her grandfather felt about her, it could definitely be true.

They arrived at the restaurant just in time for dinner. The place had the same ornate décor and sumptuous furnishings as seen throughout the hotel, with a breath-taking view over the city.

Cali could not help appreciating its beauty as she took some photos. Rui talked to the waiter to order their food and Cali unconsciously sneaked some shots of him.

When the waiter left, she heard Rui speak, ”Don't steal shots like that. I'm willing to pose for you… So the next time you want my picture, tell me so I can smile beautifully…”

Cali scoffed and twitched her mouth but did not say anything since she was caught in the act.

Soon the food arrived. The chef introduced diners to new tastes while striving to evoke emotions through Italian and Mediterranean flavors, combining creativity with simplicity in the ingredients used.

Cali was overwhelmed and felt extremely inspired, hoping someday she could also cook like this.

”Oh, this is good… Such a delicious taste it would have when paired with wine.” Cali hummed as she ate the duck foie gras with apple and chestnut.

Then she heard Rui order a wine.

”Can I have two glasses, please?” she asked with pouty lips and Rui couldn't help but nod at his beautiful wife with her begging expressions.

”Just two glasses, okay?” Rui reiterated and Cali nodded enthusiastically.

They finished the meal with a creative dessert: choco-passion-pop with rice crispies, meringue, passion fruit and hazelnut chocolate crémeux. Cali felt so happy that she couldn't stop grinning while she tasted everything.

In her head she imagined herself doing a lot more things like this and being recognized by the diners as a good chef.

”You're so beautiful whenever you smile like that. Well, you're also beautiful even if you don't smile, just that having that joyful aura of yours makes you more stunning. Maybe I should bring you to all the nice restaurants in this country. Seeing you smile like that is just too breathtaking.” Cali heard Rui commented, making her blush right on her spot.

She could feel that tingling sensation in her body, not to mention the fast thumping of her heart.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/clingy_%!d(string=49503998759200736) for visiting.

”Stop that, you're making me blush,” she scolded and even touched her cheeks with her palms.

Rui only gave her a wink, followed by a roguish smile. Cali felt her heart bumped her chest with that handsomeness.

'This man is so dangerous!' Cali inwardly complained. She felt like he was intentionally seducing her, or maybe she was just giving too much meaning to every action of his? But then she should guard herself well… Her focus should be attaining her dreams and becoming one of the world's most famous chefs...
