"I'm sorry, Sharon. I made you wait so long even though it was me who asked you out."
At the entrance of the Jintek Group Building, a beautiful woman wearing a snow-white cashmere coat, with a pretty face, short golden hair, and brown-green eyes, was putting her hands together and continuously apologizing to another woman with a baby face.
"It's okay, I just got here too."
"But Karen, you have a really busy job!"
Sharon smiled with a cute dimple on her face.
"I'm fine. I'm only very rarely busy like this. My boyfriend is really busy. I seldom see him every day. But he has more time recently. He will come over soon. I'll introduce him to you then!"
Karen said this with a little excitement, and suddenly, she looked at Sharon with an inquiring look.
"Um, what's wrong with me? The look in your eyes makes me concerned..." Sharon moved uncomfortably and asked with some discomfort.
"Yeah, it's nothing. I just can't understand why you look even weaker than me, but you were able to easily knock down those thugs! It's unbelievable!"
"Huh~~" Sharon exhaled, rolling her eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'm a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo? They're just a few insignificant thugs. I only need to give them two chirps and they'll all fall to the ground!"
Sharon clenched her fist and punched the air twice, Karen reached out and pushed Sharon's fist back, saying, "I already know very well how powerful our lawyer Sharon is, so let's skip this topic and go directly to the restaurant we agreed to meet. I've booked a Michelin three-star restaurant, the chef's cooking skills will definitely surprise you!"
Karen grabbed Sharon's arm and walked towards the parking lot.
On the way, Sharon muttered, "You were the one who brought it up first. Besides, isn't it too expensive?"
"How could it be!" Karen reached out and pushed Sharon into the sports car, and sat in the driver's seat herself and said, "Technically speaking, you saved my life! I feel like committing suicide just thinking about what those disgusting thugs might have done to me. It's just a meal, and I can't repay them with my gratitude, and..."
"You're exaggerating, Karen! And, and what?"
Sharon, who was sitting in the back seat, blushed slightly and asked curiously.
"Hehe!" Karen smiled a little embarrassedly and answered, "Although Alex and I have a very good relationship, due to his work, we don't have much time to spend together, let alone go out for dinner."
"Although you are a light bulb this time, this is also a rare opportunity. Naturally, we can't just randomly find an unqualified restaurant. So, little Sharon, this is not all for you!"
Karen said this with full of love, and Sharon, who was sitting in the back, asked with a little curiosity: "Alex, is he your boyfriend? What does he do for a living?"
"He is also from our company, but as for his work, he has signed a confidentiality agreement with the company, so even I only know that he is probably researching some confidential drugs, but I don't know the details."
Karen answered with a slight shrug, but her eyes were inadvertently fixed on the rearview mirror, watching Sharon's expression change.
"I see, Karen, you're able to find a boyfriend who loves you, majors in the same field as you, and speaks the same language as you. That's really enviable!"
Sharon spoke with envy, and Karen was listening. She was about to say something, but when she saw that they had arrived, she stepped on the brakes, parked in the parking space and said, "I also think that I am very lucky in my life, but let's not talk about that for now. The steaks made by the chef of this restaurant are super delicious!"
After getting out of the car, Karen took Sharon into the restaurant which was simply and comfortably decorated.
After telling the waiter that I had reserved a seat in advance, I was taken to a seat by the window.
"Little Sharon, decide for yourself what you like to eat. Let me see how long it will take for Alex to arrive."
As she spoke, Karen handed over the menu in her hand, then ignored Sharon's somewhat surprised cry, took out her cell phone and clicked on it.
"Really!" Sharon took the menu and flipped through it while casually saying, "Are you thanking me or are you using my name to date your boyfriend? Besides, didn't you say your boyfriend isn't busy lately? And we're in the same company, so there should be a lot of opportunities for us to meet."
"Not busy is only a relative term. And if we want to meet, it's not that easy... Oh, he said he's here!"
Karen stood up suddenly, looked around, and ran into a man's arms excitedly.
Sharon, who was sitting on her seat, also stood up and secretly looked at the man that Karen was holding.
He was about 1.80 meters tall, fairly strong, with short brown hair. His face looked a little unapproachable, but his silver-blue eyes were quite attractive.
Judging from her appearance alone, it is hard to believe that such a not-so-handsome man can have a girlfriend as beautiful as Karen.
She knew very well that although Karen was very easy to talk to and kind in front of her, that was because of the beautiful woman saving beautiful woman plot she had deliberately created. Otherwise, in the eyes of the outside world, Karen would have an icy personality.
"Come on, let me introduce you!"
Karen dragged her boyfriend to Sharon, pointed at her and introduced her, "This is the combat lawyer who saved me and whose strength is so strong that it doesn't match her appearance, Sharon Kate!"
"Karen! You're going too far! What kind of combat lawyer are you talking about?" Sharon said a few words to Karen a little embarrassedly, and then she stretched out her hand and said, "My name is Sharon, and I'm just an ordinary lawyer who has practiced Taekwondo."
"Alex Mercer, thank you for saving my girlfriend."
Alex reached out his hand and shook it, then lowered his head, took a look, and let go, saying, "Miss Sharon, do you have any hobbies you like? As Karen's boyfriend, I must give you a gift to express my gratitude for saving my girlfriend."
"That's too much!" Sharon waved her hands embarrassedly and said, "I just beat up a few hooligans, Karen did the same, and so did you. Just treating me to this meal is enough to spend money, and you even used honorifics. This really makes me uncomfortable."
"Alex, Sharon is right, you just need to call her by her name." Karen said helpfully, and then turned to Sharon and said, "But I agree with Alex's offer to give you a gift. After all, it shows his love for me as his girlfriend! So, Sharon, tell me about your hobbies, I'm curious too!"
Karen squeezed Alex's arm tightly.
Knowing her boyfriend well, he wouldn't easily say something like giving someone a gift.
I will never ask other girls about their interests and hobbies as soon as I meet them.
However, although it is still unclear what Alex's plan is, as his girlfriend, all she has to do is believe in him and assist him.
Because she believed that he would never let her down!!
PS: I’m always looking for recommendations!!!
The Prototype line has started, but after all, it has been added to the Marvel Universe, so some of the characters' personalities, backgrounds, and the settings of the virus itself have changed in a way that does not affect the reading experience.
Honestly speaking, unless you have tried to understand it specifically, you generally won't be able to feel it.
I mention this here just to let you know in advance.
Also, I watched two episodes of American TV series to write this chapter, hoping to get some of that flavor, but once I started writing, my mind was filled with the way Japanese anime speak!!
Is this cultural invasion? It's really scary!!!
Finally, please give me recommendations! ! ! !
