Madison feared that if she kept talking, Ethan might utter some embarrassingly thrilling words again.
So, she simply refused to engage in further conversation.
However, she gravely underestimated Ethan’s thick skin.
Seeing that she didn’t respond, Ethan grabbed a plastic stool and sat down beside her, side by side. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Everyone else was facing each other while eating-how sickeningly sweet must it be to sit together?
Madison’s chewing froze.
The girl in front of him puffed her cheeks, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Ethan, amused by her expression, disregarded the curious glances and envious stares around them, cupping the back of her head and planting a kiss on her.
Even if it meant getting a bit oily, he didn’t mind at all.
Under Madison’s astonished gaze, he methodically wiped her mouth. clean.
“Eat slowly, don’t be angry. I’ll stop talking, okay?” Ethan placated her.
Madison furrowed her brows, “You… how could you just kiss me in public?”
If it had been a busy street corner, perhaps it wouldn’t be too bad, as everyone would be preoccupied with driving and not paying much.
attention.
But here, surrounded by people, with about seven or eight men and women at the table to their left, she could see them looking over and laughing.
A whistle sounded.
“Handsome guy, you’re bold!”
Ethan turned to look, then smilingly raised a disposable cup in a toast to the man who whistled.
Madison was dumbfounded by the scene.
He could seamlessly interact with all sorts of people.
Whether they were scholars, industry magnates, or just ordinary folk, he could converse and fit in with everyone.
After finishing his drink, Ethan said, “My girlfriend is shy, so please stop teasing her.”
The men at the two tables understood, “Got it, got it! Enjoy your meal!”
And with that, the stares didn’t bother them anymore.
Madison struggled to swallow her food, “Please go back to your seat.”
“No way.” Ethan’s refusal was firm.
“Why not?”
“I haven’t seen you in so long. I must spend every possible moment with you now.”
She had never realized before how clingy Ethan could be.
“Can you not maintain the distant demeanor you have as a chairman?”
Ethan’s smile was warm, “When have I ever had that kind of persona?”
Madison scowled, “The CEOS on TV and in books are always
unapproachable, never smiling, with a numb expression. How come you are nothing like that?”
Not only was he not like that, but he was also incredibly affable.
Ethan propped his arm on the table, looking at her, “The type of person you’re describing doesn’t exist in reality.”
“Really?”
He continued, “The higher someone’s status, the more affable they tend to be. They fear being seen as snobbish, so even if a stray dog approaches, they wouldn’t kick it away. They’d feed it instead, to
showcase their benevolence.”
Madison pondered, “That makes sense.”
Listening to him, Lucas seemed to be that type of person.
Despite his intense dislike for dogs whenever outsiders visited their home or he encountered a stray dog in the neighborhood, he
pretended to be familiar with them..
“Would you kick a stray dog away?”
“Yes,” Ethan said without hesitation.
Madison was taken aback, “…you don’t care about maintaining you benevolent reputation?”
Ethan chuckled, “I don’t care about reputation.”
Seeing her skeptical expression, he leaned in close, his voice deep and persuasive, “If I said I only care about you, would you think I
think I’m a
rascal?”
“If you said you care about me, I’d believe it. If you said you only care about me, I wouldn’t.” Madison’s mind was clear, not swayed by his good looks.
Ethan just smiled and didn’t continue the conversation.
After finishing the meal, Ethan went to pay.
The other patrons watched as they stood up and then took their places in the luxury car.
Someone had already noticed the car’s license plate.
“That looks like a car from Mukino International.”
“That man doesn’t look ordinary at all.”
“That woman isn’t simple either, didn’t you see she’s wearing a pilot uniform? What do we call this? A match made in heaven.”
“You know how to pull out idioms now!”
