At high noon, the restaurant staff nearly dropped their utensils in shock when they saw Hunter and Rosemary strut in together.
Mr. Collins still hasn’t left the company? He’s still eating lunch with Ms. Rose?
Did he really have a thing for Ms. Rose, just like the rumors suggest?
But there’s at least a six- or seven–year age gap between them!
Was this a classic case of an older guy chasing after a younger girl?
"He seems really gentle when he’s chatting with Ms. Rose."
Hunter leaned in to listen to Rosemary, gave a nod, said a few words to the cafeteria staff, and then helped Rosemary with her food. He took it to the table first, letting her sit and wait.
"Mr. Collins is such a gentleman! Helping Ms. Rose with her food before getting his own. No trouble at all."
"Rose!!"
At this point, Molly, who had just gotten her food, saw Rosemary sitting alone at the table. She joyfully carried her tray and sat next to her. "Why are you alone? Did Mr. Collins leave?"
No sooner had she said this than she saw Hunter approaching them with his tray.
"Mr. Collins?" Molly was surprised. "Did I take your seat? Sorry, I’ll just"
"It’s okay; let’s eat together."
Hunter sat across from Rosemary, wiped his hands with a sanitizing wipe, and began peeling shrimp.
"Mr. Collins, do you like shrimp too? Just like Rose, you guys both love seafood."
"I’m peeling them for her." Hunter placed the peeled shrimp one by one on Rosemary’s plate and said,
"Eat up; I ordered all these dishes for you."
None of the dishes he liked were ordered.
"Rose, your brother is so good to you." Molly couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Collins, you should try our cafeteria food. Ever since Rose revamped the cafeteria, the food here is so much better. Fresh,
delicious, and cheap!"
"Really?" Hunter placed the peeled shrimp into Rosemary’s bowl and said, "I’ll give it a try later."
He turned to Rosemary and gave her a small smile, saying, "Your staff speaks highly of you."
"Molly is my good friend, not just a staff member."
Their relationship had already surpassed that of boss and employee.
"Well, invite your good friend over to our place sometime." Having finished peeling the shrimp, Hunter added a piece of meat to Rosemary’s bowl.
"You should eat too." Rosemary was worried his food would get cold.
"Just seeing you enjoy your food makes me happy, and it increases my appetite. I’ll surely eat more than you later."
Hunter didn’t stop what he was doing; instead, he said, "I might come back late from this trip abroad. Take care of yourself and go shopping or watch movies with your good friend when you’re bored. All
expenses are on me. If there’s anything you can’t handle, call me."
"Okay." Rosemary responded and ordered a steak for Hunter, urging him to eat.
Hunter’s eyes softened; his little sister was ordering food for him! That’s a treatment no other brother got!
Suddenly, he felt like creating a chat group just to show off to everyone else.
"I’ll be back to keep you company soon." Hunter said after finishing his meal, "Your brother David will be back in a few days. He’s blunt, so if he unintentionally hurts you or makes you feel wronged, tell me. I’ll
sort him out."
When Molly heard the news, she was freaked out big time Mr Collins’s kindness and strictness were all too real, they were beyond imagination!
