Chapter 31. A Date… and the Lizard?
----
When Nolan arrived at Alias Investigations, he found Jessica waiting for him on the sidewalk, looking effortlessly striking. For someone who could punch a hole through a car, she still managed to maintain a long, graceful frame without bulky muscle mass.
Wearing a flowing dress, her figure was accentuated just enough not flashy, but captivating. With her sharp, sculpted features, she fits neatly into Nolan's idea of beauty.
Shame. Women only slow down my research.
Nolan pulled up beside her. Jessica spotted him, her face lighting up with a smile as she climbed into the passenger seat.
He handed her the bouquet with a casual grin. "So... where do you want to eat?"
"I know a great little spot. Let's try that."
"Whatever you like."

A short while later, Nolan stared in disbelief at the bowl in front of him.
Rice noodles. Just plain rice noodles.
