After leaving the Military District Compound, Alice Turner went to the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Thomas Fisher. She was early, and Thomas hadn’t arrived yet, so she was flipping through the menu while waiting for him.

Ten minutes before their scheduled time, Thomas Fisher pushed the door open and walked into the private room. Before reaching her, he had already called out, "Alice! When did you get here?"

He took large strides toward her and sat down in the empty seat beside her.

"I just got here not long ago." Alice Turner tilted her head and glanced at the man who had just sat down beside her, then pushed the menu she had been flipping through in front of him, "I’m treating today, order whatever you like."

When she said "I’m treating," she deliberately emphasized the words, wanting to stress that she was the one paying for this meal today.

Thomas Fisher heard it clearly, his ears sharp to her emphasis on "treating," and reached out to touch her cheek, "Alright, I’ll order anything I want."

As he spoke, he touched her cheek again. It was smooth and soft, and he couldn’t resist the feel of it.

"Are you done yet? If you’re done, hurry up and order, I’m starving," Alice Turner questioned dissatisfied, but she didn’t remove the hand that was playfully acting up on her face. She just tilted her head and watched the owner of the big hand, waiting for him to remove it willingly.

Thomas Fisher shook his head, "Not yet."

Though he said he wasn’t, he obediently put his hand down. He didn’t want his Alice to be unhappy, nor did he want her to go hungry.

Seeing Thomas Fisher obediently withdraw his hand and begin to look through the menu at the same time, Alice Turner leaned in to look at the menu with him, "Just order me two spicy dishes, and you can choose whatever you like for the rest."

She didn’t dare say "order anything" again because he had a knack for misinterpreting the meaning of her words.

"Got it, I’ll choose freely, you don’t have to keep reminding me." Thomas Fisher was speaking perfectly well, but suddenly leaned in to plant a quick kiss on Alice Turner’s cheek. His sneak attack earned a roll of the eyes from her, but he just smiled brightly, "Okay, look at the menu."

He pointed to the menu, signaling her to stop rolling her eyes and to look at it.

Alice Turner followed the hand and looked down at the menu. Given the little situation that happened just now, she decided not to speak casually to him anymore, or else this meal would last until tomorrow morning.

Thomas Fisher didn’t engage in any more antics either. He picked out the dishes in the shortest time possible and then turned his head to call the waiter. After the waiter came in, he pointed out the selected dishes to the waiter.

It was peak dining time, so the waiter took a while to bring the dishes they ordered to the table.

"You must be starving, right? Hurry up and eat." Thomas Fisher picked up the chopsticks on the table and handed them to Alice Turner, before grabbing his own pair.

Truly starving!

Alice Turner didn’t stand on ceremony with Thomas Fisher, and was the first to start eating. Seeing her deliciously enjoying her food, he also got an appetite and joined in.

While eating, neither of them spoke, their full attention focused on the meal.

"Let’s go watch a movie after we finish eating." As the meal was almost over, Alice Turner tilted her head to look at the man beside her. She wasn’t looking for his opinion, nor was she negotiating, she was merely announcing her decision to him.

Thomas Fisher was more than willing; how could he refuse a chance to be with Alice Turner? He nodded happily at her, "Sure, after we finish eating, we’ll head straight to the cinema."
