Chapter 3243 Eatery
Jake clenched his teeth and suppressed his suspicion, not wanting to lose it. He knew that he should
not have such complicated emotions since his relationship with her should be a normal employment
relationship.
Since she admitted that she was Megan, she had to stay by his side, but he had no reason to force her
to care about him.
After all, he only wanted to recover the past.
It seemed that he had finally figured out the contradiction of his bad mood for the past few days as he
instantly calmed down. Looking away from Megan’s eyes, he unhesitantly packed up his things and got
out of the car.
Seeing this, Megan hurriedly followed him but kept a short distance from him.
They boarded the plane not long after they got out of the car. Silence hung between them throughout
the journey. Megan was secretly glad about it but got increasingly anxious later.
She did not know what was on Jake’s mind as he was not a man that could be easily fathomed.
After about five hours of flight, they finally reached the airport nearest to Megan’s village, where they
still had to take the bus to reach.
Therefore, Megan decided to take Jake to eat something at a nearby restaurant before taking the bus.
“What do you say we eat here?” Megan asked as they stood in front of an eatery that looked kind of
shabby.
Jake glanced at it indifferently and pursed his lips with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
“Go ahead. I’m not going.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Megan knew he would say so. Sighing, she touched her growling stomach and tried to talk him into
eating together.
Looking up at his eyes, she persuaded with a tired look on her face, “This eatery is considered clean
around here. Don’t be picky. We still have to be on the bus for about 3 hours later. You’re not made of
steel.”
She did not have her breakfast that day and only took a packet of milk. Although she had her in-flight
meal, it did not taste good.
Hearing her words, Jake glanced down at her in silence and walked over to stand under the shade of a
tree. His upright posture and good look attracted the attention of many passersby.
As her persuasion failed, she directly went into the eatery and ordered some pasta while complaining
to herself. I guess bosses like him are different from me and won’t visit this kind of small eatery.
After a while, the eatery owner served her the food that looked delish. When she was about to dig in,
she could not help but look at Jake, who was still standing under the shade scrolling through his phone,
wondering if she should go and get him to eat together.
As she contemplated it with a frown, she stared at him and got mesmerized by how attractive he was.
Finding herself drooling over him yet again, she averted her eyes and did not want to admit the fact that
she had again fallen for him due to his good look.
Taking a deep breath, she got up and signaled to the boss before she walked out of the shop.
“Come on. You’ll really be hungry later if you don’t eat now.” Standing before Jake, Megan tugged at
his sleeve with a look of hesitation and uncertainty in her eyes.
Jake stopped scrolling the phone and looked up at her, finding himself tensed up again.
Lowering his head back down, he pursed his lips as one look from Megan had brought back the sense
of irritation in him.
As though trying to get rid of this feeling, he pulled away from her gently while his glum feeling was
well-hidden in his downcast eyes.
