Chapter 1040: He Seemed to See an Angel

Joanna Lawrence: "No, I'm not very hungry, and I don't eat much usually. If you think it's not enough, you can order more."

Frank Parker narrowed his eyes and watched her for a while before deciding not to say anything else.

He flipped through the menu, added a few more dishes, and after ordering, he looked at her again and asked, "Do you like desserts?"

Joanna Lawrence: "...I guess so."

"Hmm."

After asking, Frank Parker buried his head in the menu for a few more minutes before calling a waiter over by ringing the service bell.

After the waiter took away the menu...

The private room became unusually quiet, with neither of them breaking the silence.

The waiting for their meal seemed rather long.

Joanna Lawrence found the atmosphere awkward and uncomfortable.

Truth be told, she and Frank Parker couldn't even be considered friends, yet they were sitting together in a private room for a meal.
