No, it wasn’t just regular food. The chef had prepared a huge feast!
Pearl noticed Drew’s nonchalance and realized that this must be a usual occurrence in his family. But Drew’s last name sounded oddly familiar to her, like she had heard it somewhere before.
“Let’s sit down and eat together,” he suggested.
Pearl, feeling a bit nervous while smiling, chose to sit near him so she could have a conversation.
However, a harsh and mocking voice interrupted them. “Hey, you’re sitting so close to Mister Drew. Don’t tell me you have some ulterior motives. Listen, he’s engaged. Please don’t try to be a homewrecker here.”
Pearl turned around and recognized the voice. It was the arrogant woman in traditional clothes from before. With a quick glance, she noticed that everyone else was dressed in regular work attire, but this woman stood out in her traditional outfit. It must be some sort of trend.
“I have a fiance too. Please don’t speak rudely to me,” Pearl responded calmly, her voice carrying a sense of dignity.
Stunned, the woman didn’t expect Pearl to have a fiance as well. She felt a momentary pang of envy. Pearl had a fiance but still seemed interested in Drew, and she was undeniably charming.

Drew couldn’t stand it any longer. He put down his fork and spoon and frowned, a touch of icy sternness in his expression. “Bianca, stop.”

Bianca felt even more displeased upon hearing this. “Who said I’m immature? I’m already nineteen years old.”
“Oh, dear,” Pearl responded playfully, though she was not much older than Bianca.
Bianca looked around but found no one coming to her defense. Angrily, she stomped her feet
and left.
The interruption didn’t dampen Pearl and Drew’s meal. Drew even served Pearl some food with a smile.
“This dish is delicious. I really like it. Give it a try.”
Pearl swallowed at the sight of the food. “Well, I don’t really like seafood,” she said, being

cautious and not revealing her seafood allergy. After all, she didn’t want to let too many people know about her vulnerabilities, even though Drew hadn’t posed a threat so far.

But Drew was sharp and caught her hesitation. He used another fork to serve her a different dish.
“Then try this-‘
Suddenly, they heard some commotion outside.
Drew frowned and was about to ch*ck it out when someone abruptly opened the door.
