"I'm sorry, but I cannot take you to dinner. I could order delivery for breakfast or lunch if you want," Elsa quickly countered without sounding unwilling.
"It's not just the food Dr. Morgan. I also wanted your company. Come on, I'm a new guy in town and I don't have friends here yet except for the CEO who usually goes off the grid after working hours so I am left all alone.

You don't have to pay for it, my treat. All you have to do is choose the location since I don't know any good restaurants here. All I have done since I got here was mostly work here till late at night and then go back to the hotel. I haven't moved to my new house because of all the ruckus the seller and my housemate had made."
