Jordan wasn’t offended by her sarcastic remarks, though. Instead, he joked with her as usual, saying with a smile, “No, I’m not. I just happened to run into you because fate brings us together, no?”

“Then why are you sitting at my table?”

“I’m just making do with your table. The others are all taken.”

Elspeth pointed at the several free tables nearby before letting out an angry laugh. “Mr. Carr, do you have bad eyes or something?”

“You’re right that I always have bad eyes. As it happens, I’m not wearing my glasses today.”

Indeed, Jordan had always looked serious with his glasses on. Now that he had taken off his glasses, he looked somewhat… devilishly handsome with a few locks of hair dangling over his forehead.

“You’re only here because you have something to ask of me. What is it that you want to tell me this time? Spill it.”

Jordan didn’t hide his intentions either. He replied frankly, “Old Mr. Joneson wants you to get engaged to me.”

Elspeth snorted with laughter at once. “Engaged? Jordan, you know there’s no way I would get engaged to you.”

“Oh, really? That’s not for sure, though.” Jordan gave her a meaningful smile that betrayed an undetectable hint of slyness.

Elspeth grew suspicious. “What’s the matter? Is he doing something behind my back again?”

A sly smile tugged at the corners of Jordan’s mouth, which revealed an inexplicable hint of ridicule. “Well, I’m not certain about this, but Old Mr. Joneson really went to great pains to make you go home.”
