Harrison was indeed a little nervous.
He already owned three factories that belonged to him, and he had been doing business with his father since young. He had a good business mind and experience in dealing with people.
However, this was the first time he was going on a one-on-one date with a girl since he was born.
His best friend was already carrying his fourth baby, and he was only taking the first step on a date.
"Take a deep breath. No problem. It's just going to look for food together. I'm good at this …" Harrison took a deep breath, and then exhaled a puff of white smoke. He then stomped his feet again.
He had been standing here for more than an hour. It wasn't that Georgina had stood him up, but that he had come a little earlier than the agreed time … Well, it was only an hour and a half earlier.
After all, it was his first time. He was worried that there would be some problems on the way, and if he didn't arrive on time, wouldn't he miss the appointment?
When he arrived, he wanted to let himself get used to the environment and rehearse the lines that he had thought of last night, so he didn't stay in the carriage. An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"When I see Georgina, I'll strike a handsome pose first, and then use a gentle and domineering tone to give her this flower. Then, I'll be a gentleman and invite her to look for food together … Yes, that's the procedure. First …" Harrison paced around and mumbled softly. He looked very serious.
"Hello, Mr. Harrison." Just then, a voice sounded from behind Harrison.
"Ah?!" Harrison was shocked. He quickly turned around and saw Georgina, who had appeared behind him without him knowing when. He nodded helplessly, and said, "H-hello, Miss Georgina."
Georgina wasn't wearing the black shirt and pants that she had worn yesterday. Instead, she was wearing a grayish-white striped cotton dress with a black leather jacket on the outside. She had a pair of deerskin boots on her feet, and there was a circle of short hair around the edges of her shoes.
Her face was small, and the hair that was let down covered half of her face. Her skin was a little pale, but she looked much better than yesterday. There was even a little bit of color on her face.
After changing into a new set of clothes, she had the aura of a young girl. Her light purple eyes were also lively and lively.
However, after changing out of her loose-fitting cotton-padded clothes, Georgina looked even more petite and thin. It was as if a strong gust of wind could blow her away, which made Harrison's heart ache.
Georgina blushed as Harrison stared at her. Her fingers subconsciously grabbed the hem of her skirt, but she was feeling nervous and uneasy.
Her cousin had picked out this outfit for her. After hearing that she had a date with Harrison, her cousin had specially brought her out to pick out this outfit and brought her to a hair salon to fix her hair, which hadn't been styled for three years.
However, she still had no confidence. She knew that she had never been a pretty or cute girl, and she was afraid that Harrison would hate her when he saw her.
"Now …" Georgina wanted to say something to break the silence.
"T-this is for you." Harrison held the big red flower with both hands, and handed it over nervously.
There was only one flower. It was a very common winter plum, but it was very fresh. There was still dew on the petals, as if it had just been plucked.
Oh, it had indeed just been plucked.
Georgina saw a winter plum tree not far away. It was in full bloom, but the tree was a little tall, so the flowers grew at the top.
Thinking of Harrison's clumsy figure and the way he had to tiptoe to pick the flower, a smile appeared on Georgina's face, and she felt a little warm.
Moreover, he was holding this flower and standing here for a long time, just to wait for her.
What a wonderful feeling.
In the past, she was the only one who would foolishly wait on the road for a figure that might pass by. She would give him the thing she treasured and cared about the most, only to have her dignity trampled on again and again.
And now, someone was actually willing to wait for her here, and even give her flowers.
"I saw it just now when I came. I thought it was very beautiful, so I wanted to pluck one for you," Harrison explained with a smile.
However, he didn't say that he was caught on the spot by the patrolling old man in the square when he was plucking the flower. He was only released after paying a fine of 100 copper coins.
"Thank you." Georgina received the flower, held it to her nose, and sniffed it. A smile bloomed on her face. "It smells so good."
Harrison immediately smiled like a 300-pound fatty.
Georgina looked up at Harrison, and asked, "Then, where should we go now?"
"Ah … Let's go look for all the famous snacks that are scattered around Chaos City in Seter Alley now. Do you remember that snack stall that specializes in selling fried biscuits? They're only the size of a copper coin, but they're very crispy and sweet, "Harrison said with a smile.
Georgina's eyes lit up immediately. She nodded, and said, "I know! It's sold by a bald orc uncle. His biscuits are in all kinds of cute shapes, such as rabbits, turtles, and little fish. I loved them when I was young! "
"Yes. His stall has been moved to Aden Square now. I'll bring you to him. It's not far ahead," Harrison said as he pointed ahead.
"Alright." Georgina nodded, and turned to walk ahead expectantly.
When Georgina turned around, Harrison slapped himself in the face, and scolded himself in his heart.
You're the best at thinking, but you're the worst at acting.
He didn't do any of the poses that he had planned. He spoke like an idiot, and behaved like a teenager who wasn't even 18 yet …
His first experience in love was such a failure.
He stole a glance at Georgina's side profile, and was a little worried that his image in her heart would take a nosedive.
Georgina was holding the flower with a smile on her face.
Mr. Harrison still made people feel comfortable as usual. Although he was a little nervous, he was still so cute. Even the little duck embroidered on his chest was so cute. He was such a gentle person.
The two of them walked forward with their own thoughts. After a while, Georgina suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Harrison. "Where's that shop?"
Harrison, who had been staring at the girl all the way, suddenly came back to his senses. He looked around, and pointed to the back. "It's in that alley. We seem to have walked past it a little."
It was a small alley that was sandwiched between two luxurious restaurants. It looked very inconspicuous, and was used by the people who lived behind the square to enter and exit.
Georgina walked to the entrance of the alley, and was greeted by a burst of noise.
In the narrow alley, there were 10-odd snack stalls extending along the alley. Many customers were eating in front of the stalls, and the hawkers were calling out their wares.
A familiar feeling washed over her.
