Georgina heard the familiar voice, and looked up at the smiling Harrison instinctively.
Deep down, she was against sitting at the same table with a stranger, let alone a man sitting opposite her. That meant that she had to endure his gaze, and that made her feel uncomfortable.
However, this restaurant had a rule that customers had to accept sharing tables, so she had no right to reject.
Or maybe it was because this chubby young man didn't look so annoying, and the smile on his chubby face was warm and gentle. Georgina nodded after a moment of hesitation.
"Thank you." Harrison pulled out a chair and sat down with a smile. He nodded at Kenneth again.
Kenneth looked at Harrison, and nodded back. He felt a little conflicted.
When Georgina was young, he was always worried that she would get hurt, so he didn't like her interacting with boys too early. However, after she closed herself off, he hoped that someone could help him open her heart. Even if it was just a few words, it would be good. At least she wouldn't be alone.
He could feel this chubby young man's kindness. He couldn't reject him because he really didn't have the ability to help her walk out.
"Hello, I'm Harrison. May I know your name?" Harrison sat down, and asked Joanna as if they were close friends.
Joanna looked at him. That burning gaze was as bright as a torch, and it made her blush a little. She looked away instinctively, and after a moment of silence, she softly said, "Georgina."
"Georgina …" Harrison repeated softly with a smile, and said, "It's a very beautiful name."
Georgina couldn't help but look up at him again. She had never heard anyone give her name such a gentle evaluation.
"Aren't you going to take a look at the menu? Amy's menu should be the most interesting menu in Chaos City. It's just like an exquisite piece of art." Harrison pushed the menu in his hand to Georgina with encouragement and anticipation.
Georgina looked at Harrison, and then looked down at the menu in her hand.
Ever since she was humiliated by that boy whom she used to see as sunshine two years ago, she hated all food and everything related to food.
She hated the restaurant, the kitchen, and the menu.
However, she couldn't reject Harrison's gaze now, or perhaps this exquisite menu did have some kind of curious magic. She still reached out to take the menu.
The soft cowhide felt very comfortable to the touch. The delicate leather was more high-end than all of her bags. The simple and elegant design made the menu look even more high-end.
"The restaurant's rules are on the back of the menu," Harrison reminded.
Georgina flipped through the menu and saw rows of small words listing Amy's rules.
It was about queuing, sharing tables, dining etiquette, and mutual respect for the waiters.
It was detailed but not cumbersome. Although it was a rule, it was full of human feelings.
It wasn't that the restaurant owner had made such a demand. These rules were listed together to create a comfortable dining environment for the customers.
She finally understood why she felt that this restaurant was a little different when she entered. The perfect partition, the harmonious guests who shared a table, the restrained voices, and the scene of the waiters being ordered around made people feel comfortable and at ease.
"It is indeed an interesting restaurant." Georgina couldn't help but think in her heart. However, she was soon stunned. This feeling of interest had not appeared in her mind for a long time. What was even more unbelievable was that this was an evaluation of a restaurant.
"Before you order, take a look at the menu. Amy's menu is the most exquisite I've ever seen," Harrison continued to encourage her.
Georgina opened the menu, and her eyes lit up.
This menu wasn't the kind of menu that an ordinary restaurant would have, where the names of countless dishes would dazzle the eyes.
This menu was divided into sections for the various dishes. There was a breakfast section, a stir-fry section, a barbecue section, a snack section … It made it easy for people to find food according to their preferences.
What was even more unique was that every dish was accompanied by a picture. The pictures were brightly colored, as if the real food was printed on the menu.
Even someone like Georgina, who was resistant to food, couldn't help but swallow when she saw the pictures of the brightly colored and mouth-watering food.
This was a memory reaction from her body. It proved that these pictures had caused some primitive reactions in her body.
"It's good that you have a reaction." Harrison's eyes lit up when he saw the subtle reaction of Georgina swallowing her saliva.
"The tofu pudding is sold in limited quantities every day. It's the favorite food of the ladies. After eating it, you'll become more beautiful and youthful. Look, I've become much fairer after eating it once in a while," Harrison recommended at the right time. He even extended his fair and chubby hand as proof.
Of course, becoming fairer and prettier was something that ladies would never resist in their hearts.
Georgina glanced at Harrison's hand. It was indeed fairer than hers. It was chubby and looked quite cute. She had such chubby hands in the past, but why didn't she feel that she was cute back then?
However, she was a little interested in the tofu pudding that Harrison mentioned. When she was queuing up earlier, she heard the most about tofu pudding. What kind of magical dish was it that could make them fight so fiercely?
Soon, she found the tofu pudding in the snack section.
There was a piece of white and tender tofu pudding in the porcelain bowl. The sweet tofu pudding with golden-red syrup was poured on top, while the savory tofu pudding with all kinds of side dishes was sprinkled on top. It looked like an exquisite dessert, and was very cute.
"If you don't like sweet things, you can order a savory tofu pudding. It's refreshing and delicious, and there's no added sugar. After eating it, you'll only become prettier, but you won't gain weight. It's simply a holy product for beauty," Harrison recommended with a smile.
The lady sitting at the same table put down the mirror in her hand, and said to Georgina with a smile, "Mm-hmm, I can testify to that. I didn't sleep well last night, and I have to meet an important client in the afternoon. Hence, I specially came to Amy's for a tofu pudding at noon, and I immediately looked radiant. This is the magical charm of tofu pudding."
Kenneth sat up straight, and looked at Georgina expectantly. His hands under the table were already tightly clenched into fists.
Georgina looked at the two of them, and then at the menu in front of her. She pursed her lips and thought for a while before reaching out to close the menu. She shook her head, lowered her eyes, and said, "I don't want to eat anything."
A very clear rejection. She lowered her head, and sealed herself up like a rock.
She hated food, and she hated herself even more.
However, she couldn't nod her head. The only thing she could control … was rejection.
