As they wrapped up for the day, Zoe went to the adjacent studio, put down her camera, and left after
bidding Leanna farewell.
Outside the studio, Daniel sat in the car and immediately followed her when he saw her come out.
Zoe couldn't drive that day due to the traffic restrictions, so she stood by the roadside, preparing to hail
a taxi, only to find a white Bentley pull up in front of her.
Daniel rolled down the car window and said to her, "Get in."
Without hesitation, Zoe opened the car door and got in. She then entered the destination on the
navigation system and said, "Here, thank you."
Due to the rush hour, the road was congested, and the car would move for a while and then stop.
Daniel turned his head to look at her and saw her chatting happily on her phone with a beam.
He cleared his throat and lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers before speaking up, "Are
you very close with that male friend of yours?"
Zoe replied without looking up, "We're okay. We had planned to attend the same university, but his
family sent him abroad to study. He only came back last year, so we haven't seen each other in a long
time."
Daniel responded with an "Oh" and looked at the congested street ahead. He said indifferently, "Since
you haven't seen each other for so long, he must have changed a lot. He's not the same person you
used to know, so it's better to keep your distance."
Zoe replied, "You haven't even met him, so how would you know he's not the same person I used to
know? Although he has been abroad for the past few years, we occasionally chat. I think he's still the
same guy I knew."
Daniel scoffed but didn't say anything.
Soon, the traffic cleared up, and they pulled up in front of a barbecue restaurant twenty minutes later.
Zoe had just unbuckled her seatbelt when she saw Daniel had already opened the car door.
He was even faster than her.
Zoe was at a loss for words.
Upon entering the restaurant, Daniel frowned at the smell of oil and smoke.
Just then, a guy in a floral shirt waved at Zoe from a table and said, "Zoe, over here."
Zoe looked over and immediately smiled, waving back at him as she approached him.
Of course, Daniel followed behind her.
The guy stood up and gave Zoe a big hug. "It's been so many years since we last saw each other.
You've gotten even more beauti—"
Before he could finish his last word, he was forcefully pulled away.
Daniel stood next to him, holding his arm with one hand and pulling Zoe behind him with the other.
"Just talk. No need for physical contact," he warned.
The guy looked at him in confusion and asked Zoe, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Zoe shrugged and shook her head. "No."
At that, the guy shifted his gaze back and forth between Zoe and Daniel and quickly picked up
something. With that, he punched Daniel's chest and said, "Not bad, dude. You're pretty relentless."
Daniel's frown deepened, and he let go of the guy's arm, his face cold and serious.
The guy didn't seem to care about Daniel's unfriendly attitude and turned to Zoe, saying, "I believe an
introduction is still in order. Who's your friend?"
Zoe said, "Daniel."
Then she pointed at the gut and said, "Jareth."
Jareth Pendleton scratched his eyebrow and said, "Foreigner, huh? Come, come, have a seat."
Zoe was about to walk toward Jareth when Daniel held her back and made her take the inner seat
before sitting next to her.
Jareth also sat down opposite them and called the waiter, saying, "We're ready to order."
While ordering, Jareth said, "I remember you like pork belly and spare ribs, right? I'll just order those."
Zoe was about to nod when Daniel interrupted, "She doesn't eat those."
Excuse me? Zoe thought.
Daniel continued seriously, "She's on a diet and can't eat those."
At that, Zoe took the menu from Jareth and selected the pork belly while saying, "Says who? And who
eats barbecue when they're on a diet?"
As she spoke, she turned to Jareth and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Jareth took a sip of water, glanced at Daniel, and smiled ambiguously at Zoe. "I'm good with anything.
You can order whatever you want."
As expected, Daniel's face became even more unpleasant.
After ordering the food and returning the menu to the waiter, Zoe and Jareth started chatting happily
about the past.
Daniel, on the other hand, sat next to them, unable to join the conversation, and could only drink water.
Later, when the food arrived, he got up and went to the restroom.
"What's going on between you two? Are you leading him on?" Jareth asked Zoe while looking at
Daniel's retreating figure.
Zoe fell silent for a moment before saying irritably, "What are you talking about? I'm not leading him on.
If anything, he's the one leading me on."
Jareth shook his head. "I don't understand."
Zoe thought for a moment and whispered, "Based on your experience of being abroad for so many
years, do you think someone like him has a chance of settling down?"
"It seems like he doesn't lack ladies in his life," Jareth commented. "Let me tell you, foreigners like him
are the most cunning. They know they're good-looking and where their charm lies. They have their
ways of charming girls. Be careful not to be deceived by him."
Zoe let out a sigh and absentmindedly played with her cutleries. "Tell me about it."
Jareth continued, "But I also know foreign guys who are handsome and loyal to their girlfriends. You
can't generalize. It depends on how he treats you. Just have fun with him. In this day and age, do
whatever makes you happy. You won't lose out."
Zoe twitched her lips but didn't say anything.
Jareth added, "Oh, I wanted to ask you. How did you resolve things with that jack*ss, Anthony?"
Zoe lazily replied, "We broke up. He bothered me for a while before disappearing."
Jareth said, "Luckily, he knew better. If I were in Highside, I would have beaten him up to give you
some relief."
Zoe's thoughts drifted away at that.
Daniel had also beaten Anthony up when the latter came to find her.
To be honest, it felt pretty good.
Just then, Daniel returned.
Since they had been talking about Anthony earlier, he didn't continue the topic in front of him and
wisely kept his mouth shut.
Zoe also lowered her head, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
It was as if they had been discussing something embarrassing and stopped when he arrived.
It was as if he had stumbled upon their flirtation and little secrets.
For the rest of the time, Daniel remained silent with a cold expression on his face. He didn't even drink
much water and just sat there.
Unfortunately, neither of them was affected by his mood and continued to enjoy their meal.
"Does your friend not like barbecue?" Jareth whispered.
Zoe replied, "His taste is different from ours. He likes… something else."
She still gave Daniel some respect, not mentioning canned food.
