Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"Yes, that is correct, Miss Qin." The man nodded as he answered.

"Am I hallucinating? Could I have heard wrong? Zed, who is said to be cold and indifferent was actually thoughtful enough to..." Maranda was surprised and said in disbelief.

"Get in!" John wasn't in the mood. He didn't want to stand around and watch Maranda murmur to herself. He gently pushed Maranda in the direction of the car.

'Hey!" Maranda objected. When she turned, she saw the driver waiting for her. He smiled at her politely but stayed silent.

Maranda stroked her cheeks and hurriedly got into the car.

Since Zed was feeling generous, Maranda wasn't about to turn down the offer.

Later, she would ask Jean to convey her gratitude to Zed.

Maranda giggled at the thought. Her reaction made John furrow his brows.

At the hotel, Jean had finished packing her things. She stepped out of her room and slowly closed the door before heading for the elevator.

Once she reached the restaurant, Jean saw Zed sitting at a corner table. A generous spread of breakfast and dessert dishes covered the table.

Jean frowned, "All this for only two people? How can we eat so much?" Jean's cheeks turned red as she seated herself. She was surprised that Zed would do this for her. When her stomach growled, Jean leaned forward and picked up a jam sandwich. She wolfed it down before Zed could say anything.

"I thought you might be hungry. I didn't know what you would like, so I ordered a little of everything." Zed said tenderly. When he saw how Jean was eating, Zed pushed a glass of milk toward her before saying, "Slow down. Nobody's stealing your food."

"You don't approve of the way I eat?" Jean asked with her mouth still full.

"No, I'm afraid that you might choke." Zed explained as he sighed. No matter how many times he had tried to explain to Jean that she needed to eat slowly, she never listened.

"Don't worry. I won't choke." Came Jean's cheerful response before she took a sip of her milk. Then she eyed the rest of the food on the table.

Zed never knew how to react when Jean ate. She always behaved like she hadn't eaten in weeks. It was a refreshing change to see her childish enjoyment of food, but it always left a poor impression as she never cared for table etiquette.

He sighed helplessly, and started to eat some bread.
