"Eat up," Dr. Riley said while gesturing toward the food-filled dinner table.
The food quality immediately sparked Kieran's appetite as he ogled at it momentarily before taking a seat across from Dr. Riley.
Although they had spent some time together over these few days, Kieran didn't feel they were so cordial that he needed to sit beside her.
The seat he chose worked just fine. Since the plates were already set out, there was no reason for Kieran to grab a plate or anything. Furthermore, the food was placed in such a way that Kieran could reach any dish he wished to taste.
The table was also pretty small since Dr. Riley usually ate alone. As it was just her without any real staff, there was no reason for a large table.
"Dr. Riley… did you… cook all of this?" Kieran muttered while biting into a succulent chicken leg. His eyes widened as he didn't expect the meat to be filled with flavor.
