Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: Where Did He Get This Intuition From? Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: Where Did He Get This Intuition From? Enna Clark looked at the insulated container tossed aside. Although she couldn't hide her disappointment, she knew that getting Baron Lawrence to eat her noodles which had become slightly greasy was indeed a challenge.
However, failing just once was acceptable to her. If worst came to worst, she could find another opportunity to bring him back to the villa and cook for him on the spot.
The appearance of a freshly made dish would certainly be better than one that had been stewing in an insulated container for a while, and he would most likely eat it.
But…
Enna took the knife and fork, her gaze still shifting to the side.
The fruits of her labor from the morning were wasted just like that, and no matter what, she felt a sense of loss.
Baron Lawrence didn't feel there was anything wrong with not eating what seemed like dog food to him, but when his eyes touched the young woman's face, showing a hint of dejection, his heart involuntarily felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, leaving him breathless. Before his brain could filter it out, a promise slipped out of his mouth, “Forget about today, I just don't feel like eating noodles today. Next time you make them, I'll eat!”
As soon as he said it, he couldn't help but frown.
But Enna's face broke into a radiant smile, “Okay!”
The furrow in his brow relaxed all of a sudden, and he was no longer irritated by the promise he had let slip.
Baron Lawrence, with impeccable dining etiquette, typically wouldn't speak once he started eating.
Enna had also studied noble etiquette and held the same standard for dining posture, abiding by the principles of not talking while eating and not speaking while resting, she didn't wrap things up and chatter on and on during meals.
It has to be said that the taste of the food President Lawrence had sent over was good, although it wasn't as delicious as the steak from the French Restaurant he took her to last time, but it was still quite tasty.
However, after eating steak for two consecutive days, Enna wasn't particularly interested.
After eating more than half, she put down her knife and fork.
The man, who had been dining with elegance and focus, seemed like he had grown an extra pair of eyes. As soon as she put down her utensils, he also looked up. His hawk-like eyes fell upon her face, “What's wrong, you don't like it?”
Enna quickly explained, “No, I'm just full.”
“…” Baron Lawrence's brows knitted together.
His instincts told him that this woman's appetite was more than this trifling amount.
But damn it, where did he get such intuition?
He had only dined with her once; how could he know about her appetite?
Something flashed through his mind, and all of a sudden, Baron Lawrence lost his appetite and followed suit by putting down his knife and fork.
Seeing him lay down his cutlery, Enna asked in surprise, “You're done eating?”
The proud man stared at her with a commanding presence, “I'm full too!”
With the way he was acting, he hardly looked sated. It seemed more like he was annoyed. Enna took a deep breath, then suddenly lifted her head, looking into his eyes, “Well, President Lawrence, are you free after five o'clock this afternoon? I'd like to invite you to a movie.”
Invite him to a movie?
Was this an invitation for a date?
Baron Lawrence's slightly irritated mood suddenly improved, his lips briefly parting, “I have time right now.”
“Uh… about yesterday…”
President Lawrence, without changing his expression, said, “I have a meeting this afternoon, but the other party suddenly had something come up, so my afternoon schedule is clear.”
Who would dare to cancel an appointment with this man at the last minute? She couldn't help but feel it was too coincidental.
Enna was still in doubt.
The proud man, with his hands in his pockets, turned with a cool air, “You wanted to go watch a movie, right? Let's go.”
