“How about that Korean barbecue restaurant we went to last time? It’s an authentic restaurant run by a Korean family. It’s the best and most delicious place in the entire city,” Gerda suggested, clapping her hands excitedly.

“Well, the food in that restaurant is indeed delicious. But it’s also a little expensive. With so many of us going there, I’m afraid we will empty Lind’s wallet.”

Now that Janet didn’t have any financial pressure, she thought for a moment and readily agreed, “It’s okay. I don’t often invite you to dinner, after all. Gerda, give me the phone number of the restaurant. I’ll reserve a table.”

Janet had not only received a promotion but a salary hike as well. She could occasionally squander without burning a hole in her pocket.

After making a reservation in the restaurant, Janet sent a message to Ethan, informing him about the dinner party.

Not long after she sent the message, her phone rang. It was indeed a call from Ethan.

“Who are you going with? A man or a woman?”

“Well, I’m going with my colleagues — mostly girls. One guy is joining us, but he already has a girlfriend,” Janet explained in a low voice.

“Why are you whispering? Are you afraid others might hear us?” Ethan complained. “What’s wrong? Are you hiding me and our relationship from others? Are you ashamed of me?”

Janet frowned. She couldn’t understand what he meant.
