Stepping on the gas, the Dodge Challenger roared and threw the ladies behind.

"That's it!"

Ethan turned the steering wheel and glanced at Erin, "Anyway, I'm hungry right now." ”

"I feel like you owe me a supper."

"Hahaha!"

Erin smiled and shook her head: "How is Burger King?" ”

"Waterfa?"

Ethan gestured to what he was wearing: "This is a suit of more than 10,000 dollars, you want me to eat Burger King?" ”

"Oh well~"

Erin was just joking, and she asked with a straight face, "What do you want to eat?" Count me in tonight. ”

"Just wait for your words."

Ethan didn't wait a moment before he pulled the car to a stop.

On the way over, he came across an Italian restaurant.

Nicely decorated, there are quite a few people in line.

Looks like the taste shouldn't be too bad.

"Please, I only get a few thousand dollars a month." Erin looked at the lavishly decorated restaurant next to her, and said pitifully:

"Can you change it?"

"Can't!"

Ethan decisively refused, he got out of the car, came to the co-pilot, and pulled the door open:

"Please, Lady Lindsay!"

Erin rubbed for a moment, so she had to get out of the car.

Walking into the restaurant, next to the reception desk, there were twenty or thirty people, all of whom were waiting in line.

"Sir."

The reception manager looked at them: "Do you have an appointment?" ”

Ethan nodded: "Yes!" ”

Erin rolled her eyes, this was all a temporary decision, there was a ghost appointment.

"Okay."

The manager flipped through the reservation list: "Please provide your name, thank you!" ”

"Franklin!"

Ethan waved his palm, and a green bill fell on the reservation roster.

The dollar is open and invincible.

But at this time, it was a bit out of order.

"I'm sorry, sir."

The manager smiled and pressed the money: "I haven't been able to find the name of your appointment for the time being." ”

"Look at it again." Ethan waved his hand again:

"I'm sure it's up there."

"Found it."

The manager quickly stuffed the two bills into his pocket, and a smile was piled up on his face: "Mr. Franklin, this beautiful lady, please come with me." ”

Erin grabbed Ethan's arm and whispered:

"Are you crazy?"

"It's just a meal, do you want that."

Ethan shrugged his shoulders and followed the manager inside.

Working hard to earn money, don't you just want to be comfortable!

Problems that can be solved for a small amount of money are not a problem.

Follow the restaurant manager to a corner inside, where the interior is elegantly decorated with copper sconces scattered on the walls.

The dining tables are also separated by greenery.

If nothing else, the atmosphere is superb, and it's no wonder that so many people are waiting in line.

The manager put away the small cards that had been reserved on the table, he nodded to the two men, and turned to leave.

has fallen into the mouth of the tiger, and Erin is no longer struggling.

With the idea of maxing out her credit card at a big deal, she ordered all the menus, aperitifs, starters, main courses and desserts, all to her liking.

Actually, it's not as exaggerated as she thinks.

This meal cost her most of her salary.

Ethan also ordered his own food, then called the waiter and whispered a few words.

When the wine was served, the wall lamp next to it went out.

Soon, under Erin's surprised gaze, the waiter carefully lit a few candles.

The candlelight is swaying, and the beauty is shining.

Ethan picked up his glass and shook it slightly:

"There are no candlelight dinners in Hawaii, and I think candlelight dinners in Chicago are also very good."

"Hmm!"

Erin looked very satisfied and raised her goblet to Ethan.

The Italian food here has been beautified, and the dining procedures have been much more streamlined.

Although the steps are still tedious, the food still allows Ethan to calm down and enjoy it slowly.

When the dessert was served, he opened the conversation: "You are not quite right today, is there any story in between?" ”

"Actually, I used to be Hank's informant."

Irene knew that there was such a thing, she took a sip of wine and continued:

"When I was 16 years old, he and his wife adopted me and rescued me from the streets."

Ethan was stunned, this was a bit informative.

Being an informant alone means a lot of things.

"You used to be?" He asked curiously.

"You could interpret me as coming from a gang of thieves."

Erin didn't mind: "At that time, in order to survive, I did everything, petty theft, selling some leaves and stuff like that. ”

Speaking of the past, Erin's eyes flickered.

There are joys and sorrows.

"Hank later found a relationship and placed me in a private high school."

Erin smiled and slowly put down the cup: "You know, this is to let me live a normal life. ”

"There, I made up lies."

"Maybe it's because of low self-esteem, so I chose to do that, in the lie, my father is an overseas business executive, and my mother is an artist, and they are not in China all the year round."

"Soon, I was integrated into school life."

"You know, sorority, go shopping, go shopping, play together."

The candlelight danced in Erin's eyes, and her voice fell:

"A lie is always a lie, and there will always be a day when it will be exposed."

That day also came quickly, in school, and it didn't take long. It was rumored that my mother was a drug addict and my father was in prison. ”

"Ridicule, rumors, and exclusion have also arrived, and none of them have been missed."

Ethan shrugged his shoulders and scooped up a spoonful of tiramisu and put it in his mouth.

"Later, Hank approached the principal, and I don't know what deal he made to keep me."

Erin spread her hands and flicked her ponytail: "As a condition of the deal, I just need to show violent tendencies again." ”

"Even if it's just a punch, I'll be kicked off right away."

"I knew it~" Ethan shook his head and smiled:

"How many people did you kick in the ass?"

The corners of Erin's mouth turned up, and she didn't answer his question, and said to herself:

"For Hank's sake, for my own sake, I endured it."

"But all these years have passed, and everything that has been experienced still haunts me."

"I just want to prove to these people that even if I come from such a family, I can still live a good life with my own efforts."

"Until just now." Erin shook her wine glass:

"I realized that what had been bothering me wasn't that important."

"I don't have to prove to those people how I'm doing."

Ethan picked up the cup and touched her gently:

"School bullying is a blue pool, and I'm glad you can step on this blue pool."

"Thank you!"

Erin felt like she had been lifted from her burden, and her whole body was much more relaxed.

Being able to talk about these things proves that she has completely left the impact of that experience on her completely behind.

"Not only did you lie to your classmates, but you also lied to me~" Ethan scooped up tiramisu.

After thinking about it, I put it down, it's too sweet to eat.

"Huh?"

Erin looked puzzled.

"You used to say that your family is about the same as mine." Ethan stretched out his hand and pretended to hit her, "I thought you were an orphan since you were a child. ”

Erin did not dodge or dodge, and said with a wry smile:

"One addict, one in prison."

"Never took care of me, never gave me any support, what's the difference between this and an orphan?"

"Okay~" Ethan took his hand back in disdain:

"That's a lot of sense, and I can't argue with it."
