Kyle Keaton’s arrival caught both Roman Kidd and July Quinn slightly off guard.
"Why did you follow along?" July Quinn seed to display all her unwelco feelings toward him across her face, her brows furrowed into a ss.
Kyle Keaton paid no mind to July Quinn’s lack of welco. He poured himself a cup of hot tea before speaking.
"Why didn’t you invite to your al with His Excellency Kidd? After all, we’re old acquaintances."
He directed the last sentence at Roman Kidd.
Clearly accusing Roman Kidd, as they knew each other, why didn’t he invite him to the al? Was he secretly trying to steal his thunder?
Roman Kidd’s composure was evident; he wasn’t going to engage in a direct conflict with Kyle Keaton.
"I heard from July that Lord Keaton doesn’t eat spicy food."
His tone was calm, but the smile on his face slightly faded.
No one wants a third wheel present when dining with the girl they fancy.
Especially when that third wheel is soone as outstanding in looks and background as Kyle Keaton.
Kyle Keaton gave this composed fox a glance, took another sip of his hot tea, and said, "No one is born knowing everything."
The implication was that he could learn to eat spicy food for July Quinn.
July Quinn must have understood, as her mouth twitched noticeably two tis.
She hadn’t forgotten how soone used to complain after she ate spicy food.
Now he was actually clamoring to learn to eat spicy...
"Indeed, I hope Lord Keaton can get used to chili soon. July likes spicy food; otherwise, if I hadn’t co to Desrozin City, she wouldn’t find soone to accompany her to a Sichuan restaurant."
Roman Kidd returned the subtle provocations.
Kyle Keaton’s fingers holding the teacup turned slightly pale.
He wanted to retaliate, that for Kyle Keaton, whatever his woman wanted to eat, he would try it with her. There was no need for this deceitful wolf to make a pretense.
But before he could get a word in, the waiter served the first dish.
It was spicy boiled fish.
Not only was there a layer of chili oil floating on top, but it was also sprinkled with plenty of Sichuan peppercorns.
Just looking at it, Kyle Keaton felt his mouth hurt.
But July Quinn eagerly picked up her chopsticks, inviting Roman Kidd: "Quick, give it a try. I read online reviews saying this place has the best spicy boiled fish."
Yes, July Quinn had initiated the al with Roman Kidd.
Because after Andre was arrested, Anna wanted to take over her father’s work and continue the strategic cooperation, which would enhance her achievents and raise her election chances.
But July Quinn insisted on intervening, so upon learning that Roman Kidd was passing through Desrozin City for etings over the next couple of days, she arranged to dine with him.
If arranging a al, naturally it should cater to his tastes.
Roman Kidd often dined at Sichuan restaurants, so July Quinn naturally assud he liked Sichuan cuisine.
Thus, she searched through the entire Desrozin City culinary website to pick this restaurant and selected over ten dishes with the best online reviews.
"Looks appetizing." This was Roman Kidd’s review of the spicy boiled fish.
However, in Kyle Keaton’s view, Roman Kidd, in order to please July Quinn, would praise the dish even if it were cooked manure.
Hypocrite!
Pretentious!
Shaless!
But amid these disgusted thoughts, Kyle Keaton saw Roman Kidd genuinely doing just as July Quinn, digging into several pieces of spicy boiled fish and savoring them with clicks of satisfaction.
"Very fragrant, and the knife work is excellent."
After eating, Roman Kidd didn’t forget to prompt Kyle Keaton: "Lord Keaton, you should try it too!"
But to Kyle Keaton, rather than Roman Kidd inviting him to enjoy the food together, it felt more like a challenge...
