Before long, several dishes were brought to the table.
Along with steaming hot white rice.
Just as Flossie Wright picked up her chopsticks, her phone in her pocket started buzzing again.
With a slight pause and a frown, Flossie still set down her chopsticks.
First, she took out her wallet and slid it across to Glenn Hutchinson, and then she took out her phone, glanced at the name "Marcel Smith", and pulled up to answer.
"What’s up?"
Holding the phone in her left hand and bringing it to her ear, her right hand reached again for the chopsticks, continuing to pick up food and eat.
"I’m safe, just checking on you," came Marcel Smith’s annoying voice through the phone.
His ability to say that proved that, in the midst of his rapid getaway, Marcel had also noticed Flossie’s presence.
"Lying in a hospital."
With an indifferent response, Flossie picked up a slice of potato and placed it in her bowl.
"What?" came the surprised response from the other end.
"What did you get yourself into?"
Flossie didn’t continue on that subject but instead asked.
"This..." Marcel sounded troubled.
"Not telling me?"
Her tone cooling, Flossie narrowed her eyes slightly.
*Cough*, "It’s nothing," said Marcel curtly, declaring, "My new girlfriend just happens to be their boss’s ex-girlfriend."
"Heh," Flossie let out a cold laugh, lifting her lips, "You sure she’s the ex-girlfriend?"
Marcel’s tone immediately grew weaker, "Yeah, well, just didn’t get the chance to break up..."
Flossie was quite speechless.
It’s rare to encounter such oddballs in life, and Flossie, who loved the chase, had seen her share, but someone who risked his life on the chase like this, boasting after getting with someone else’s girlfriend...
Tsk, she truly hadn’t seen that before.
This guy, he was a character.
Thinking it over, she didn’t bother to argue further and said to Marcel, "I saved your life, we’re even now."
He readily agreed.
In fact, Marcel had long forgotten about the bank card matter, his mind originally set on winning Flossie over, but ever since Perry Reed showed up, he had moved on to new conquests.
The world is full of beauties—plenty more for him to woo.
Fortunately, his conscience wasn’t completely shot. Pondering for a moment, he then asked, "Hey, you’re really at the hospital?"
Flossie replied offhandedly.
"..." Marcel fell silent.
After a pause.
Without hanging up, Flossie suddenly asked, "Are you still around here?"
"Leaving in a few days. Heard the ladies out west are not bad. If you change your mind, I can take you on a spin and fly you around..."
Before he could finish, Flossie hung up.
Putting down her phone, she reached out to the dish with her chopsticks, but unwittingly collided right with another pair of chopsticks.
Startled, Flossie looked up in confusion, only to see her own chopsticks stretching towards the opposite dish, coming into contact with a pair that was similar in style. The owner of the chopsticks ceased their movements, watching her with a somewhat amused look.
Flossie Wright was someone who could keep her composure well.
Therefore, she slightly lowered her gaze nonchalantly and drew the chopsticks back, pinching a piece of lotus root before placing it back into her own bowl.
But then, the other pair of chopsticks quickly followed, picking up the lotus root slice she had touched and placing it into her bowl.
In her view, a hand holding the chopsticks came into sight.
The palm was a bit rough, calloused, showing years of handling guns and knives, yet the hand was aesthetically pleasing with long, slender fingers, distinct knuckles that hadn’t been deformed by hardship, especially spread out while holding the chopsticks, they looked very attractive.
