Chapter 49 Awkward Encounter

“What?” Erin thought she misheard him.

Her surprise looked like disappointment in Caleb’s eyes. If he had made the right guess, that wouldn’t be her reaction.

He lowered his gaze and said calmly, “It’s nothing. I was just joking.”

“Joking?”

Erin was still a little confused, but Caleb had already changed the topic. “What would you like to eat? I’ve already ordered some food. Have some with me. If you don’t think it’s enough, we can order more.”

Erin shook her head at Caleb, who passed the menu to her. She said, “It’s my treat! You paid for coffee last time.”

Caleb found it hard to accept her way of thinking. He said with a smile, “You don’t have to count down to the penny with me. Do you think I’d be so broke that I can’t afford to buy you a meal? If that’s the case, it would humiliate me as the director!

Erin immediately explained, “Mr. Grant, don’t take this the wrong way! That’s not my intention! I just think that as colleagues, we should pay for ourselves.”

What she said instantly drew a line between them. Caleb’s hand that was picking his glass of water up stiffened in midair. He looked at Erin for a long while, speechless. Naturally, he looked unpleasant. When he came to his senses, he took a sip of water and placed the glass down.

He sighed and said, “You don’t have to reject me so fast. I’ve already said that I’ll wait for you to deal with your relationships.”

Erin didn’t know what else to say. She felt if she were to continue being overly polite with him, it would hurt him, so she merely smiled at

Caleb and remained silent. 1

When the food was served, they ate in silence.

Right at that moment, lan and Tracy exited the booth to pay for their meal. Walking past the open seating area, they noticed Erin and Caleb sitting by the window.

Tracy sneered and said, “lan, look at how desperate Erin is. She has barely divorced you, yet she has already found a new lover.”
