Chapter 38. Do you really like me?

"This is your idea of a fancy dinner?"
Jessica looked incredulously at the upscale private dining room, where a gourmet chef was preparing... noodles.
"You liked it the last time, didn't you? So I flew in a specialist all the way from Southeast Asia just for you."
A savory aroma wafted through the air. Jessica's eyes widened. "Smells amazing."
"Dig in."
Two bowls were placed on the table. Jessica wasted no time, slurping the noodles enthusiastically. Moments later, she leaned back and let out a contented sigh.
"I'm stuffed."
"There's one more thing," Nolan said with a smile, placing a small velvet box on the table.
Jessica eyed it suspiciously. "You're not about to propose, are you? We've barely known each other a month."
Nolan chuckled. "Not quite. Just open it."
