Chapter 1562 - 1561: Speaking Out_1
"I come here often. It’s really nice, just a bit on the cheaper side since it’s a small hot pot, simple but good. How about it?"
"I’ll follow Reid’s lead."
Peter didn’t really care. Today, Reid Nelson’s behavior had ignited a certain eagerness in him. After all, it had been a while since he last did this.
Reid Nelson was clearly very familiar with the place. After ordering the food, she also ordered some wine for Peter and said, "The wine-makings here are said to be good. You’ll be an office person from now on, so you won’t be able to escape hosting duties. I want to see how much you can drink."
Peter just smiled and said, "It seems Sister Reid has quite the tolerance."
Reid chuckled and said, "How could anyone in our line of work not have a good tolerance? Imagine getting drunk and being taken advantage of without even realizing it." While saying this, she gave Peter a teasing look, which stirred something within him.
However, Peter had seen too many such scenes, and while it did stir him momentarily, he didn’t take it too seriously. He knew that truth from women in the workplace was rare, and with Reid acting this way today, it was clear she was trying to seduce him. He was curious to see how she would play her game.
Peter was well aware of his status. He was in a completely different league from Reid Nelson; there was no way she was truly interested in him.
Pretending to be oblivious, Peter let a hint of lust show in his eyes.
Once the hot pot arrived, Peter’s appetite surged at the sight of the steaming dish.
"This is a specially prepared ingredient mix, said to nourish the yin and bolster the yang, young man. Be careful or you might get overly fired up."
