It was already late at night when they left the auction and traveling from there to the city would take 6 hours which was why Harry decided that they should instead go to a hotel.
Cai Ying wanted to refute again but she didn't dare as she might once again be scolded by Harry.
The hotel they rent is not a room but a mini-penthouse that has a living room, kitchen, and two rooms which were agreed upon by both of them.
As they entered the room the sight of the starry sky and the cityscapes entered their sight.
"Order a set of meals for us," Harry said as they weren't able to have a meal due to their constant traveling which was why he decided that they eat first, he also wanted to prepare something which would definitely need so much energy.
Cai Ying decided to comply and not say anything more and just decided to order a set of meals for two people because she was also in hungry state.
Harry sat on the table which was placed beside the transparent glass that shows the cityscapes, he looked at it as he waited for the meal to arrive as he was thinking about what would happen later with a grin.
A moment later a staff arrive carrying the tray of food, it was a set for two people and they also brought a bottle of champagne which made Cai Ying almost facepalm herself as she have forgotten that ordering that way would make them think that they are dating or something, with a meal in the table and a champagne on the side it seems that Harry was going to have a date. She only wanted to have a normal meal but didn't expect that the staff would misunderstand her intention and even bring a bottle of champagne.
"Thanks," Harry thanked the staff who poured the champagne into each of their glass, the staff nodded as it left then Harry looked at Cai Ying and said," come let's eat."
"You can go first sir," Cai Ying rejected as she thought that it might really become a dinner date if she ate with Harry.
"Nah.. come on, it feels so lonely eating by myself. But it's alright if you don't want to as you might think I'm forcing you," Harry said as he started eating already.
Cai Ying blushed as she decided to join Harry.
Under the starry sky with the cityscapes as a background and her boss in front of her eating the same meal as she was with a glass of champagne on both sides, Cai Ying couldn't help thinking of a certain romance novel with the main character as the CEO or the boss of an assistant, she couldn't help but blush under these circumstances and can't focus on eating.
Sensing the clumsy movement of Cai Ying, Harry looked at her and seeing that she was embarrassed he smiled as he continue eating his meal.
Cai Ying almost choked as she saw Harry's white teeth and his smile that almost take her by surprise she thought, 'I didn't know my boss is actually this handsome. Wait is this a date?'
She couldn't help thinking that it was a date as from the very start of the day Cai Ying was with Harry and they traveled together to eat together and now they were in a hotel room alone eating dinner which was something she couldn't imagine.
Although she was a professional and conservative girl she couldn't help thinking that Harry was making a move on her as she didn't have a boyfriend since birth and it was her first time having a meal alone with a boy and now it was actually a meal with her boss.
As the meal ended Harry was able to eat his fill so he decided to take a bath but thinking about the girl in front of him he said, " I'll take a bath first and you follow or you take a bath and I'll follow after you."
Cai Ying was dumbfounded as she blushed when she heard Harry's words and said in a shy and stuttering manner, "Uhmm.. sir.. this... I.."
Seeing this Harry was confused at first but thinking back to what he said earlier he understood why Cai Ying was stuttering, "Wait, wait, don't misunderstand I just want to take a bath and I was thinking of my attitude just now and as a gentleman, I think that asking you if you want to take a bath first or should I go first," Harry explained to clear up the misunderstanding but his words turned into an awkward silence.
"Un.." Cai Ying just nodded in agreement while Harry turned around and went to the bathroom to clean himself.
The hotel provided some robes and clothes for both men and women so Harry didn't need to concern himself more as he wore the bathrobe after taking a bath and brushing his teeth before going to his room.
"I'll sleep now, you can take a bath and take a sleep too if you want," Harry said as he went into one of the rooms.
Meanwhile, Cai Ying was sitting on the sofa as she reminisce what happened earlier. She wanted to take a bath but she couldn't move her legs thinking of the embarrassment earlier and it made her feel nervous.
Although Harry was already inside a room and there is a door separating them her heart was still beating faster and faster thinking of Harry.
Later that night Harry was in his room after thinking for a while he finally decided to take a move first. He opened the door and look outside his room and saw that the lights are off which means that Cai Ying was already asleep or he thought so.
He went to the living room and took the item they had just bought earlier in the auction. It was the meteorite of unknown origin but he bought it not because of its rarity and its scientific value but instead because it has another purpose based on the diary.
