Chapter 695: 695: I'll Teach You How to Identify a Jerk

“I’m a decent person, don’t joke with me.” Adam Howard habitually pulled out his cigarette pack, choosing one to place in his mouth.

Before he could light it up to start smoking, Adam was kicked under the table.

“Ouch! Who kicked me?”

No one responded, but everyone was eyeing Adam.

Adam gave a bitter smile, “If you don’t want me to smoke, just say so, kicking is not gentleman-like or lady-like behavior.”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Adam’s gaze fell on Valerie, “You don’t have to look down on me like that. I’m really a nice guy. I can even teach you how to identify jerks.”

“You teach me? Could you withstand a punch from me? If he’s a jerk, I can squash him on my own.”

Suddenly, many people squinted their eyes and laughed, looking at Adam.

Adam muttered, “Women should be a bit gentler. You frighten men away even before you get into a relationship, always threatening to beat people up.”

Before anyone could reply, Simon interrupted: “If she doesn’t do the beating, I will. I’d like to see who dares to mess with my sister!”

“Okay, okay, you win, I’m shutting up!” Adam threw the unlit cigarette in the ashtray, giving up.

Martin Wallace looked at Abigail Anderson and seriously said: “We’re all familiar faces here, no need for introductions. You should treat us like friends. If Jordan Bennett ever bullies you, just let us know, we’ll stand up for you. Honestly, apart from our slightly hurtful sense of humor, we’re all pretty decent people!”

Abigail gave a smile, “I remember the last time we had dinner together.”

Adam chimed in, “Don’t worry, Jordan Bennett is definitely a good man, he’s not at all playful like me. We’ve been brothers for many years now, we all wish you both a long-lasting relationship.”

Olivia Jenkins picked up her wine glass and stood up, “Today is a great day, let’s have a toast to wish everyone’s wishes come true and may we all stay happy!”

In an instant, everyone stood up, cheering!

Olivia understood – it seemed like Abigail and Jordan must be dating. Abigail was no longer sulky as she was the other night at dinner; instead, a sweet smile was spread across her face.

Olivia was happy for her, sincerely wishing them well.

Matthew Marshall, James Marshall, and the Thompson couple were all abroad, only Bella Thompson stayed in Serene City.

Life without disputes and scheming was really quite nice these days; she could only hope that times would stay as peaceful as this!

Seeing everyone so happy, Olivia felt joyous as well.

Olivia’s relationship with Daniel started to get back to their most sweet times.

…

Three months later

The Jenkins Group’s Robot Base.

Abigail Anderson and Valerie Howard were filming the entire cooking process of a robot, “Wow, this is absolutely amazing! So innovative!”

Olivia’s beautiful face beamed with confidence, “We’re already preparing. By next year, we will open our first robotics restaurant. It will be filled with high-tech vibes. You can watch robots prepare your food, calling attention to the details from delivery of dishes, to a sudden descent of a dish or drink from above, filling the restaurant with surprises.”

Abigail’s beautiful eyes lit up like countless stars. “Olivia, I can’t wait! I’ll check-in at your theme restaurant every day and promote it for you.”

Olivia playfully arched her beautiful brows, looking leisurely at Abigail and Valerie, “Would you both like to have a little taste of the experience now?”

“Yes!”

Olivia made a welcoming gesture, guiding Abigail and Valerie to sit down in the simulated restaurant, “When you just came in, you ordered food from the robot, it should be ready.”

The dishes would fall from the sky? Abigail and Valerie both looked up expectantly.
