"Ms. Audrey..." Curtis looked at the pencil box in Ben's hand and couldn't help but frown. "Why did you buy Ben a gift again? He already has everything he needs."

Audrey smiled. "It's just a pencil box. It's not expensive."

Curtis was so moved and he said, "Thank you so much, Ms. Audrey."

"Don't mention it."

At this time, the waiter approached Audrey and asked, "Ms. Audrey, where would you like to sit?"

Audrey pointed at a table several tables away. "At table 7!"

Ben was doing his homework here and Audrey did not want to disturb him.

"OK!"

Curtis immediately turned to the waiter and said, "Tell the cashier I'll be paying for Ms. Audrey's meal."

"No, please don't," Audrey quickly said.

"I insist, Ms. Audrey. If you refuse, I will take it that you despise me."

Hearing this, Audrey was unable to refuse Curtis.

"Alright then," she said.

Curtis's face brightened when Audrey agreed.

"Ms. Audrey, please go have lunch. I won't disturb you!"

"Okay!"

Audrey smiled and said, "Ben, keep on doing your homework. I'll go to dinner."

"Okay." Ben happily waved to Audrey.

Audrey went to have lunch. The food in this restaurant was as good as ever.

After lunch, Audrey saw that Ben was still doing her homework, and Curtis had just come out, so she walked forward and stopped Curtis.
