Even though Abigail Anderson hasnât been in touch with Jordan Bennett for a while, and their relationship is merely contractual, under the current circumstances, itâs best not to see each other.
As Abigail was hesitating whether to leave or to discreetly find a corner to sit in, Adam Howard walks in from behind, spots Jordan immediately, and greets him.
âBennett, why are you eating hot pot alone? Do you mind if we join you?â
Jordan Bennett looks up at Adam Howard.
With a swift glance, Jordan also spots Abigail Anderson and Olivia Jenkins.
What a coincidence!
Jordan Bennett was just about to leave when Adam Howard casually takes a seat next to him.
At that instance, it would seem rude for Jordan Bennett to stand up and leave, so he graciously invites Olivia Jenkins and Abigail Anderson to join him for hot pot.
âItâs chilly outside and Iâve just stepped out from the headquarters, thought of having some hot pot to warm up. How come itâs you and Olivia? Whereâs Daniel?â Jordan Bennett subtly warned Abigail Anderson with his gaze to be cautious about what she said.
Abigail Anderson nonchalantly arranges her tableware, ignoring Jordan Bennett, acting as though they did not know each other.
She did not even glance at Jordan Bennett.
Their relationship was purely contractual and would end soon anyway, so she never took it to heart.
Olivia Jenkins was already arranging her tableware and preparing her hot pot condiments. She casually replied to Jordan Bennettâs question, âMy husband has gone to M Country. Adam here says heâs my flower guardian.â
Adam burst into hearty laughter, âDaniel asked me to protect my sister-in-law, as if she would be abducted by some wild wolf while heâs not in Serene City. They are so sweet together, itâs almost sickening. Itâs like theyâre force-feeding me dog food.â
Suddenly everyone broke into laughter.
Jordan Bennett stole glances at Olivia Jenkins, seeing the sweet smile on her face made him feel a little bit lost.
He took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and continued to order food.
Abigail Anderson was hungry, so she started eating, not saying a word.
Suddenly, Oliviaâs glance fell on Abigail, âPresident Bennett, let me introduce you to COOKIEâs live broadcaster Abigail Anderson. If there are any opportunities for collaboration, please give her some guidance.â
Abigail Anderson continued to pretend she did not know Jordan Bennett, but out of courtesy, she handed him her business card, âItâs an honor to meet you, President Bennett!â
Jordan Bennett squinted his deep-set eyes, briefly glanced at Abigailâs business card, âNice to meet you, Host Abigail! Itâs an honor indeed. You and your teamâs broadcasts on COOKIE platform have created quite a buzz recently, and even Chloe Lee knows about it.â
Adam Howard interrupted, âHonestly, my mom is now a regular viewer of Abigailâs broadcast, and she always asks me to help her grab items from the show. I tried a few times and succeeded only once. Itâs really hard. My mom especially loves watching Abigail introduce lipstick colors and often asks me if they look good or not. I can introduce you two if you donât mind, thatâll save me from her daily nagging.â
Before Abigail could respond, Olivia Jenkins suddenly said, âWhy donât you two try dating?â
The smile on Adamâs face deepened, âIâm joking of course. But it wouldnât be too bad to bring a pretty wife home presumably, Abigail, we can test the waters and see if thereâs a spark?â
Abigail looked at Adam and said earnestly, âIf you want to marry me, it will be difficult. I doubt you could win over my family.â
âEven if itâs hitting a wall, Iâd still be willing to try. The key is, you have to like me too!â
With her bright eyes shimmering, Olivia Jenkins glances towards Jordan Bennett, âPresident Bennett, I remember your ex-girlfriend from the headlines, why donât you call her to join us for hot pot?â
