Balfour waved a dismissive hand, signaling that he didn’t need a menu. “I’ll have what the lady across
from me is having,” he said casually.
The words sent a thrill through Giselle, and she quickly flagged down the waiter.
“Another spaghetti bolognese, but hold the celery on his. He doesn’t eat celery,” she instructed.
The waiter nodded, jotting down the order. “Alright, one regular and one without celery. Just a moment,
please.”
Clearly, the waiter took them for a couple out for a lunch date, which only made Giselle’s smile bloom
wider.
It wasn’t until she had settled comfortably at the table in the restaurant that she realized Balfour had
really invited her out for lunch!
The man, as unapproachable as an iceberg, had finally succumbed to her charms.
Giselle was confident. There was not a man she couldn’t charm when she put her mind to it.
“So… what made you think to ask me out today?” Giselle asked, her cheeks flushed, her gaze lowered
shyly as if she hardly dared to lock eyes with Balfour’s.
Balfour remained stoic, tapping a finger on the table as he considered his words.
“Is it so strange? We haven’t had a meal together for a while,” he stated matter-of-factly.
Lately, it wasn’t visiting his grandparents, it was always out with Ivy. He hadn’t attended any trivial
social gatherings for a long time.
“Yeah, but you’re so busy with the company. I tried to ask you out a few times, but Quinton always said
you were not available!” Giselle seized the opportunity to speak ill of Quinton.
It was one thing for Balfour to be aloof, but why did his assistant have to act so high and mighty?
Every time she tried to confirm Balfour’s schedule with him, Quinton would come up with all sorts of
excuses to show that Balfour was indeed too busy to have lunch with her.
Unbeknownst to Quinton, he had silently been blacklisted. There were too many like Giselle who he
had to turn down, and the number of people wanting to dine with Balfour was overwhelming.
Moreover, Balfour had made it clear: other than his wife’s invitations, all other ladies’ requests could be
outright denied.
As the CEO’s assistant, his job was to shield him from all nuisances.
“It’s true. I have been very busy,” Balfour replied succinctly.
“Alright… but you’re here with me today, so you’ll have to give me the rest of your time, won’t you?”
Giselle’s voice was gentle and soft, hiding her cunning intentions.
Balfour gave a slight nod, “Sure.”
Giselle could hardly contain the joy that lifted the corners of her lips. She hastily took a sip of her drink
to compose herself.
“Things have been rather unsettled lately, even someone in our film crew got injured,” Giselle ventured,
watching Balfour’s reaction.
Balfour raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
“Well, it’s all for the sake of fame, isn’t it? Not every actor can let go of the need to compare themselves
with others.”
