Bai Xiaoyu's handsome face, like a child with splendid future prospects, showed cracks, his indifference fading away, like the brewing storm in the deep sea, dark and impossible to see through.
"Minister Bai, are you alright?" Gu Xiaoer snapped back to reality and hurriedly grabbed some tissues to go over.
"Hey, don't wipe it!" The waiter snapped out of his daze, and before he could finish his sentence, he saw the girl clumsily wiping Mr. Bai's trousers. Minister Bai has a mania for cleanliness! Even our Western restaurant knows this...
Especially young female waitresses like her, who knew Mr. Bai's preferences and habits like the back of their hand. Whenever Mr. Bai came, they would scramble to serve him. Even knowing they wouldn't gain his favor, they were still willing to throw themselves at him...
Today, it was the first time Mr. Bai had brought a girl to dine with him, and she looked plain, not as pretty as herself.
But Gu Xiaoer couldn't care less about the waiter's expression, feeling annoyed with herself again and again, she was so clumsy, making her supervisor uncomfortable on their first meal together, so stupid, so stupid!
Her fair little hands held the tissue, continuously dabbing at the water stains on Bai Xiaoyu's black trousers, wiping the left leg, then the right leg.
The waiter stood by, dumbfounded—wasn't Mr. Bai the type to never let women touch him? What was this situation?
At this moment, Bai Xiaoyu's brain also paused for a moment, those clumsy hands wiping haphazardly on his legs.
The long ponytail that was close to him carried a faint scent that lingered at the tip of his nose. He looked down, and could see the tender, crystal-clear Little Ear, the beautifully red but exceptionally beautiful profile, and the girl's slender, fair neck.
The man withdrew his gaze.
"Step aside!"
Bai Xiaoyu's voice contained annoyance, not very gently pushing away the flustered girl, and stood up to walk towards the restroom.
Ah, he's angry, I've offended my supervisor...
This was Gu Xiaoer's only thought, holding a stack of damp tissues, standing still as she watched the tall, indifferent figure grow further and further away.
"Miss, Mr. Bai has a mania for cleanliness." The waiter, who already had a bad impression of Gu Xiaoer, spoke with a displeased tone and a face showing the pleasure of seeing someone else's misfortune.
Tch, thinking this would attract Mr. Bai's attention? She's just been rejected, serves her right!
"Ah——"
This undoubtedly made the already uneasy Gu Xiaoer look even more worried, clutching the tissues and sitting back down in her seat.
"Miss, would you like to pay with card or cash?"
"I... I'll pay with card..." Gu Xiaoer murmured, her mind completely taken by Bai Xiaoyu, who had gone to the restroom.
Sigh, she was already prepared to be scolded or even fired, whine whine whine...
When Bai Xiaoyu came out of the restroom, he saw the girl in a beige dress standing by the table waiting for him, her little face full of anxiety and conflict.
He frowned slightly, feeling a bit guilty, wondering if his actions just now had scared her.
He didn't walk over immediately but stopped in front of the waiter and handed his card back over, his expression returning to its usual indifference as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Bai, that lady has already paid the bill," said the waiter with a red face, looking down.
Bai Xiaoyu paused for a moment, glanced at the girl a few meters away, furrowed his brows, and said coldly to the waiter, "Such lack of manners? I won't be coming to your restaurant again."
What?
The waiter felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, a chill seeping from head to toe.
