Chapter 30 His Considerate Words And Actions
Upon entering the restaurant, Michaela realized that Jonathan had picked a fondue shop.
As a hard core foodie, fondue was her top favorite.
When she was gazing at the falling rain through her office windows earlier on, a big pot of piping hot cheese fondue was what she was craving.
Great minds think alike! Suddenly, Michaela did not find Jonathan as annoying and frightening as he was before. In fact, she thought that he was quite friendly.
The change in perception made her feel more at ease. As soon as they entered the restaurant, someone came up to them and collected the umbrella from Jonathan’s hand. At the same time, he addressed him reverently, “Mr. Xander.”
“Hi, just go ahead and carry on with your work. We’ll head upstairs ourselves.”
He did not want to be bothered by anyone when he had the chance to spend quality time with Michaela.

His voice snapped her back to her senses. Michaela shook her head and said, “Nothing.”
Meanwhile, a hand appeared from behind and turned the knob to open the door right before her.
Though it was a simple action, she felt like he did it on purpose, seemingly hugging her in a way. “Let’s go in.” He continued to behave indifferently.
“Okay.”
