Amelia Cobb's kick caused the rib Christopher Robinson just picked up to clatter back onto his plate.
The man glanced at her, and their eyes met, both silent and speechless.
Finally, it was Christopher who regained control of the situation: "Don't like it?"
Her petty act of frustration just gave Christopher an opportunity.
Amelia cursed him and his entire lineage in her heart.
Christopher's remark caused the surrounding business partners to look at her with even more astonishment.
They probably never expected Christopher to pamper someone so much.
Nor did they expect to witness such a scene today.
"What does Miss Cobb like to eat? Let's order again."
"Or maybe she prefers another restaurant."
People chimed in one after another.
Amelia rolled her eyes internally, knowing this would be the outcome.
"No need, thank you. I'll only eat what Mr. Robinson gives me."
Like to act?
Let's act then.
If he wants to make a fool of these partners' intelligence, she can play along.
