Love's Perfect Match

At 6.00PM, Elspeth clocked out and drove straight to the place where she and Arthur had agreed to meet.

When she pushed the door open and entered, Arthur was already there. Seeing her come alone without bringing anyone with her, he slowly curled his lips into a smile. "You really keep your word. I like that."

"Just cut the crap and tell me what secret you have."

Arthur raised his eyebrows. "I'll tell you, of course—but not now."

Elspeth had no desire to have too many dealings with him, though; she thought speaking to him would simply shorten her lifespan. "Stop wasting time. We're both busy, after all."

"Alright then, just have a seat and dine with me. We'll talk over dinner."

Elspeth didn't really want to have dinner with him, but she had no choice but to sit down in order to learn more information.

The dishes were served one after another, and nearly all of them were her favorites.

Arthur raised an eyebrow slightly in a confident and leisurely manner. Not only that, he even had an air of smugness about him. "These are all your favorite dishes, right? I know quite a lot about your preferences after spending such a long time with you abroad."

As much as Elspeth hated this guy, she had to admit that he was indeed very attentive to her. Picking up a chunk of meat with her fork, she tasted it and couldn't help feeling that it tasted somewhat familiar. She had eaten this so many times abroad, so there was no mistake about it. "Don't tell me you made these yourself?" She found this hard to believe, but she had some doubts nonetheless.
