Cornelia wanted to stop him, but Zack was quicker. He quickly ordered some dishes they liked.
After ordering, he passed the menu to Marcus, "President Hartley, what would you like to eat?"
Cornelia tried to take it, but Zack didn't let her, "I ordered what you like, let President Hartley see what he likes."
Marcus was very picky, not eating this or that. With limited choices in the restaurant, he couldn't find anything he liked.
He put down the menu and said, "Whatever Cornelia eats, I'll eat."
Anyway, his purpose of following her was not to eat, but to get to know her better.
Zack smiled, "I ordered a lot, President Hartley, don't be shy later."
After ordering, the waiter brought the seasonings. Because the three of them were regular customers, the waiter was familiar with them and added fish mint and cilantro to each serving, which they especially liked.
These were things Marcus would never touch. Cornelia asked the waiter, "Can we have a serving of seasonings without fish mint and cilantro, please?"
Zack said, "He said he'd eat whatever you eat, but changing the seasonings would make it different from yours."
Marcus said, "No need to change, I'll eat this."
"Alright, your wish is my command," the waiter couldn't help but take a few more glances at Marcus, "Ms. Stewart, your boyfriend is so handsome, you two make a perfect match."
Cornelia wanted to explain, but Zack was even more anxious, "This man is married, how could he be my Nelly's boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense."
Cornelia also explained, "He's my boss, not my boyfriend."
Everyone thought he could eat it.
Zack continued, "If President Hartley can eat, then eat more."
Seeing that he could eat, Cornelia kept preparing food for him. The greasy food entered his stomach, making Marcus's stomach churn, but he still looked calm and collected.
"Nelly, you eat too," Zack put more meat on Cornelia's plate.
Marcus didn't want to lose, so he also picked up some dishes and put them on Cornelia's plate. She said, "President Hartley, just eat by yourself, don't worry about me."
The great leader of the Hartley Group was actually preparing food for her; Cornelia worried that this would bring bad luck to him.
