Chapter 30

In the restaurant, the group started by raising their glasses to Aurelia, toasting her promotion. After that, they chatted for at

little while.

During the conversation, it was mostly Selene and Aurelia who were talking excitedly, with Selene treating Ronny like an old friend. She wasn’t shy about venting her frustrations with Linda, almost as if she were enjoying a sense of triumph

“Ronny, you can’t tell anyone about this, okay? I still need to work under her,” Selene whispered conspiratorially.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t heard a thing.” Ronny replied with a smile, playing the role of waiter.

He would occasionally join in the conversation, but mostly focused on cutting the steaks. With a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, his movements were precise and graceful.

“Director Finch, here’s your sirloin steak. Be careful, it’s hot,” Ronny said.

“Thanks, Mr. Downs. You’re so thoughtful!” Aurelia took the plate with both hands, clearly appreciative.

“I can do it myself, Joycelyn said, not used to being fussed over like that. She politely declined when Ronny tried to take her steak away.

“It’s really no trouble, the steak is too hot. You don’t want to burn yourself,” Ronny insisted.

“It’s fine, he just loves cutting steak for people. This pasta is really good too. You should try it,” Selene said, pointing to a small dish of pasta.

Joycelyn couldn’t argue with Selene, so she reluctantly put down her knife and fork. “Thanks, Mr. Downs.”

“It’s nothing,” Ronny replied with a gentle smile.

Joycelyn glanced over at Aurelia’s plate, where the steak had been sliced with absolute precision–each cut neat and perfec It was clear that Ronny wasn’t just careful, he was also a bit of a perfectionist.

Ronny’s movements were elegant. He started from the left side of the steak, cutting from the outside in. He fixed the steak with his fork, then sliced off a perfect bite–sized piece with his knife. Every cut was so precise it looked almost artistic.

“All done,” Ronny said, sliding the plate of steak toward Joycelyn.
