Chapter 22 A Romantic dinner

Edwin Carter gently touched his lower lip before starting the engine with a shallow smile on his cool eyes, thought that she finally looks like the Jane whom he met three years ago. The car slowly exits the parking lot and quickly gets into the city’s noisy traffic. But inside the car, there was pin-drop silence quite enough for both people to listen to each other’s breaths sound. Jane sat straight and looks out of the window. She did not dare to look directly at Edwin Carter, but he could not help looking at him quietly. He drove very carefully, without looking sideways, as if nothing had really happened. Jane pouts her mouth and hum in her heart --- an indifferent man! Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a skyscraper. Edwin Carter threw the car keys to the staff and walked into the hall with Jane. The skyscraper has 69 floors. It was the tallest building in Asia when it was built. For many years, it is also a landmark building of Jiangbei City. Skyscrapers are located in the busiest commercial center of Jiangbei City, which is crowded, busy, having many floors, especially the sightseeing air revolving restaurant on the top floor of the skyscraper is very famous. Many foreign tourists buy a ticket just to come here to enjoy a cup of tea in the beautiful scenery of the city of Xiangjiang, which is located between the North River and the Yangtze River. Jane when first came to Jiangbei. She came here with Laura Ferdinand. Just the entrance tickets to this building cost eighty yuan, and don’t ask about meals and visiting scenery prices. Although it is too expensive, but the number of people come here to visit is still countless. It’s rather strange today. It’s just eight o’clock in the evening, but Jane has not seen any person here when they waited for the elevator. Jane was thinking about it when Edwin Carter took her hand and step into the VIP ladder and went straight to the 69th floor. His hands were really warm, or maybe Jane’s hands are really cold, whenever he holds them like this, Jane craved for the warmth he gives to her. She looked up at him and smiled. "Edwin Carter, did you invite me to dinner here?" He stood upright facing the elevator door, and when she thought he will not answer, he heard him say, "Yes." It’s just a gentle word but quite enough to answer the question she asked. He doesn’t talk much, and she did not realize it even till today. After a while elevator reached on the 69th floor. Where there was a crowd of people when she comes once. Today there are no people, except the staff members she didn’t saw anyone else. LOVE dining hall is surrounded by roses of various colors, with a table in the middle. Roses on the table are decorated in the heart-shape, and orange lights shine down, adding few dreamy colors in the atmosphere. "Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter, this way, please!" The beautiful waitress greeted them politely, her eyes almost stick to Edwin Carter. It seems that she doesn’t notice Jane around Edwin at all. Jane thinks in her mind, a good looking woman is a disaster, and a good looking man looks is evil, woman’s eyes when she looks at a handsome man are more intense than when a man looks at a beautiful woman. Edwin Carter stopped suddenly and looked at the waitress coldly: "Go and ask your manager to come over here." The waitress smiled and said, "Mr. Carter, I am in charge of this restaurant." Edwin Carter frowned and said gloomily, "It’s time to change the manager of this restaurant." The smile of the waitress instantly disappeared but her professionalism forced her to hold on so she smiles softly and said, "Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter, please be seated. I’ll let other people come over here." After sitting down, Jane couldn’t help laughing. Edwin Carter looked at her strangely. "What’s so funny?" Jane forced herself to stop laughing, she looked up at him and said, "You do this to a woman who likes you?" "Like me?" Edwin Carter picked up her eyebrows and said very frankly, "I don’t like her." That lady is really good looking, her figure is also very appealing an average man couldn’t so directly reject her. Maybe it was the first time that the lady has to face such kind of rejection because her facial expression becomes so strange in a moment when he saw his response. Suddenly Jane thinks of what Laura Ferdinand has said. She can’t help looking at Edwin Carter. Normally men feel it difficult to refuse beautiful women. Does Edwin Carter really dislike women? Thinking of that, Jane looks at Edwin Carter’s eyes with a bit of inquiry. If he really doesn’t like women, is it good or bad for her? The melodious music sound, a very familiar and very favorite piece of music and his aroma. Listening to the music Jane’s beautiful eyebrows, clear and crystal eyes. She looks like a fairy. Jane Humming unconsciously, suddenly noticed a gentle gaze she looked up and saw Edwin Carter quietly looking at her. She smiled at him and said, "I like this song very much." Edwin Carter signaled the waiter to pour red wine and gently raised his glass: "Would you like to drink a little?" Slightly glanced at the 82-year-old Lafite. This kind of wine is very expensive for people of the working-class like her. She didn’t get the chance to drink this type of wine often. Now she is having a treat from her rich husband. Of course, she won’t behave formally. She raised her glass and touched Edwin’s: "Cheers!" Edwin Carter’s eyebrows raised slightly: "Cheers!" Jane toasted the glass and sipped up the wine. There’s a kind of powerful momentum. Edwin Carter shook his head helplessly: "we don’t drink this wine like that." It’s not about wine, but Jane’s method is wrong it’s easy to get drunk this way, and no woman drinks wine like this. It’s like a hidden edge in her bones edge gets revealed, Jane that is full of wildness. Three years ago, Jane had a personality full of extreme vigor and vitality, youthful; but now, Jane has hidden all this and maintains a quiet sober personality. Whether it was three years ago or three years later, the only thing that hasn’t changed is her optimism about life and enthusiasm for work. Jane instinctively licks her glossy lip. It was an unintentional action, but it fell into the eyes of Edwin Carter and was extremely attractive. There arises a faint glow in his eyes. Jane totally unaware of his thoughts said in excitement and hurry, "This wine tastes so good. Let’s have another drink before dinner." This time, Edwin Carter stopped the waiter. He himself poured the wine in her glass and said, "Drink slowly." "Okay," Jane said, but her body did not listen and she drank the second glass of wine in one gulp. "It’s easy to get drunk when we drink on an empty stomach." Edwin Carter beckoned the waiter to serve. He ordered two fruit salads and filet steaks. Everything was very well cooked. It’s almost nine o’clock in the evening. She was really hungry because she hasn’t had lunch at noon. A noise produces when her knife and fork touched the steak, on the other hand, Edwin Carter side was quiet as if there was no movement.
