After Connor had left, all the delicious dishes on the table were left for Lenora and Harrietta.

Lenora felt a small sense of relief in her heart, relieved that Connor had left and she no longer had to face him through the meal.

Harrietta was also quite delighted, cheerfully enjoying the food.

With traces of oil lingering on the corners of her mouth and the juice from the peeled shrimp smeared on her small hands, she tilted her head up to address Lenora, "Aunt Lenora, isn't it lunchtime now? He sure seems busy." "He needs to work to earn money."

"But then he won't have time to be with you. Aren't you lonely, Aunt Lenora? My uncle, on the other hand, is wealthy and has plenty of time..."

Lenora popped a large shrimp into her mouth. "Even eating doesn't seem to quiet you."

"Mmph!" Harrietta gently pulled the shrimp from her mouth, murmuring, "I'm just saying the truth."

"Yet you seem to be enjoying the feast he treated you to..."

"My heart belongs to my uncle," Harrietta said earnestly. "How could a single meal possibly sway me? This pork chop is top-notch though."

Lenora couldn't find the words to respond to that.

Roughly twenty minutes had passed when Lenora picked up her phone and sent a message to Connor: Have you reached the office yet? Don't forget to eat something once you're done with work. Stanley isn't that strict. She had to make sure she put on a good performance, down to the last detail.

After a long while, Connor finally responded: Just saw your message. Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Wilkin.

Connor: I'm truly sorry about today. I didn't expect to suddenly have work.

Lenora: Don't worry about it; unexpected things happen all the time. We can have a meal together some other time.

Connor: Ms. Wilkin, are you free this Saturday?

Lenora deduced his intention and replied: Yes.

Connor: Can I take you out for lunch that day?

Lenora: Sure.

Connor sent an excited emoji: All right, see you on Saturday.

Lenora: See you on Saturday.

Harrietta was engrossed in stuffing her mouth when she noticed Lenora fiddling with her phone. She peeked at the screen before her lips pursed into a pout, and she let out a huff. Lenora glanced at her, pinching her puffy little face. "What's wrong?"
