"Shall we go give it a try?" Emily played along.

As the two women discussed dishes at the restaurant, they gradually walked away. Clover and Miles, who were still glaring at each other, suddenly lost their interest in staying behind. They turned around to hurry after Rose and Emily. "I'm hungry too. I'll join," Clover said with a smile.

"Rosie, a friend of mine owns that restaurant. I'll get him to recommend some dishes for us," Miles enthusiastically suggested.

Clover retorted, "Ha! We can order for ourselves. We don't need any recommendations."

Miles responded, "Oh, I was just planning to recommend them to Rosie, not you."

"Mr. Miles..."

"Mr. Xanth..."

As the two continued to bicker, Rose felt a headache coming on.

"Ha... Emily, is this how Clover usually behaves?" Rose asked Emily as she shot Clover a weird look.

The CEO of Lerain Group, who controlled the entire corporation's decisions, was acting like a schoolboy.

Emily shook her head. "Not at all. This is the first time I've seen him like this." Her tone carried a hint of disdain. Then, her gaze fell on Miles as she asked, "Does Mr. Miles usually act this way too?" "Of course not. He usually isn't like this."

Miles had always been calm and composed. But today, he was behaving like a schoolboy as well.
