"Okay, Mentor, do I need to prepare anything?" Anita looked up at her mentor and smiled.

"No need. Owen doesn’t know yet, does he? You can tell him when you get home. After all, this project will take up a part of your time once it starts. When that happens, if you come home too late often, I’m afraid Owen ask me," the mentor said with a smile.

"Mentor, don’t say that. Owen won’t," Anita said with a red face.

"Is that so? That’s best. Otherwise, I won’t be able to take it," replied the mentor with a smile.

"Don’t worry, mentor," Anita said with certainty.

"Hahaha... I’m joking. You’re so serious. Go back," the mentor said with a smile as he looked at Anita’s serious expression.

"Mentor... I’ll go back now." Anita thought that her mentor was serious. It turned out to be a joke, and she laughed.

"Okay, let’s go. I’ll give you a break these two days. You’ll be back early the day after tomorrow." After saying that, the mentor waved his hand and indicated that Anita could leave.

"Okay, see you then." Anita picked up her bag and said goodbye to her mentor before leaving.

It was still early today. There was no one at home. Anita didn’t want to go back so early, so she decided to go out and walk around.

It was just that poor Owen didn’t know yet that Anita had wrapped up so early. He was still engrossed in his work. He had said in the morning that he would take Anita to dinner tonight, so he was at work non-stop now.

He only hoped that he could quickly finish his work and get off work early.

"Oh, yes, Bruce, can you help me book a seat at Xiyue Restaurant?" Owen picked up the internal phone and called Bruce.

"Okay, CEO. Whose name is the reservation for?" Bruce asked. Clearly, he often helped the CEO order dishes.

"Just mine. Anita and I will go to dinner tonight," Owen replied.

"President... are you going to eat with Miss Anita?" Bruce stuttered in his familiar business style and asked a little uncertainly.

"Yes. Any more questions?" Owen asked patiently.

"No... No, I’ll do it immediately," Bruce regained his senses and said hurriedly.

"Okay." Owen hung up when he got Bruce’s reply.

Bruce felt that he really needed to prepare some antihypertensive medicine recently. He was taken aback by the CEO every day, and he felt that he would have a heart attack sooner or later.

He finally brought a girl out for dinner. Bruce was wondering if he should prepare something else for his CEO tonight, such as a "candlelight dinner?"

"Hello, is this Xiyue Restaurant? I’m President Owen’s secretary, Bruce. Reserve one of your seats by the window tonight," Bruce said into the phone.

"Okay, let’s keep that old seat," the Xiyue Restaurant operator said with a smile.

"Well, by the way, decorate the dining table tonight and make it look like a candlelight dinner," Bruce said again.

"Bruce, what’s wrong? Are you going to confess to the girl tonight?" This was the first time the operator had heard Bruce make such a request. For a moment, he thought that Bruce was going to bring his girlfriend over for dinner, so he asked with a smile. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"No, our CEO is bringing someone to eat," Bruce said softly as he secretly covered the microphone.

"Really? Who is he bringing?" The operator’s curiosity was piqued and he asked curiously.

"I can’t say anymore. You’ll know later tonight. I’m hanging up." Bruce did not dare to say anything else. He booked the seat and hung up without saying anything.

It was only when Bruce hung up that Owen called. "Bruce, has the location been decided?" Owen asked through the phone.

"President, it’s already been decided. Don’t worry, it’s still the same old seat," Bruce replied quickly.

"Okay, thank you," Owen said politely.

"President, this is what I should do. I hope you can have a pleasant night with Miss Anita tonight," Bruce said with a smile.

Owen didn’t respond but smiled before hanging up.

Because what Bruce had just said reminded him of that wonderful night last night. His mind race as he thought about last night, when he was in bed with Anita.

It felt so good that he couldn’t help himself. The more Owen thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt like he couldn’t even work anymore, so he forced himself to calm down.

He had to hurry back to work. Otherwise, if he kept thinking about it, he might not be able to get off work early.

When Owen finally finished, he picked up his phone and sent Anita a message. "I’m done. Where are you? I’ll pick you up."

After sending the message, Owen picked up his suit jacket from the chair and went out.
