Chapter 695

Chapter 695 Not A Couple Jack knew she only invited him to lunch because of all those hints he dropped, but he still agreed to it happily when he saw the smile on her face.

Although Roxanne was the one paying, Jack was the one who drove and picked the restaurant to dine at. Roxanne’s jaw dropped in surprise when they arrived outside the restaurant.

Given Jack’s status, she had assumed he would take her to some fancy restaurant in the city. Instead, the one they were at was an old Chanaean restaurant. It had a rather tasteful decor, but the food there was fairly cheap. The customers were mostly ordinary white-collar workers and middle-class families.

“I got used to having Chanaean cuisine at home. I’m not sure if this is to your liking, though,” Jack said with a smile. Roxanne flashed him a smile in return. “Honestly, I’ve been eating Chanaean food throughout the years I spent overseas.”

Jack arched an eyebrow at her in amusement. “Is that so? I thought you would prefer western cuisine instead.”

The two of them continued joking with each other as they entered the restaurant. The waitress who greeted them at the door asked in a really friendly tone, “Good afternoon! Will you two require a private room?”

Jack instinctively turned to look at Roxanne when he heard that. “What do you mean by private room?”

Roxanne asked in confusion.

“Couples who dine here would usually request a private room as it gives them more privacy,” the waitress explained with a smile. She looked as though she was certain about them being a couple.

Roxanne flashed Jack an apologetic smile when she realized the misunderstanding. She then turned toward the waitress and said, “I’m afraid you’ve gotten the wrong idea. We’re not a couple, so we won’t be needing a private room.”

The waitress turned to look at Jack in shock and disbelief. How is it possible that these two are not a couple? They look so perfect together!

Jack simply flashed her a faint smile and said, “We’ll have a table by the window, please.”

The waitress blushed a little when she saw his smile. She then led the two of them over to a table by the window.

Even after taking their order, the waitress still found it hard to believe that they weren’t a couple.

I have never seen such a great-looking pair before! I can’t believe they’re not a couple.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know how she got the wrong idea,” Roxanne said apologetically after the waitress left.

Jack let out a nonchalant chuckle and said, “There’s no need for you to apologize. In fact, I feel it’s an honor to be mistaken for your boyfriend, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne froze and shot him a wary glance after hearing that.

“You don’t seem to realize how amazing you are, Ms. Jarvis. If people mistake me for your boyfriend, then they would think highly of me as well. That’s why I say it’s an honor,” Jack added calmly.

He thinks it’s an honor because other people will think highly of him?

Feeling relieved at the thought of that, Roxanne said with a smile, “You give me too much credit, Mr.

Damaris. You’re the truly excellent one here. Had you not introduced me, people wouldn’t have known a nobody like me.”

Jack’s eyes were filled with admiration as he smiled at her without saying anything.
