At 3:00 pm, Felix and Jack sat across from each other in an all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant. Jack grinned and commented, "Great minds think alike, huh? Neither of us had lunch, so this timing is perfect."

Felix looked puzzled and asked, "Don't you have work today?"

Seeing Félix's stunned expression, Jack chuckled and placed a few pieces of meat on Felix's plate. "Eat up, Felix. I owe you a lot, you know."

Felix was baffled, knowing he had not spoken to anyone about this. He wondered how Jack had managed to land such a position without connections.
