Bella peeked at him, and when she saw his darkened face, she quickly stopped laughing. Just at this moment, the elevator door opened and Bella took the lead in walking out, with the man following closely behind.

The wind outside the window blew her long hair, making her look exceptionally gentle.

Bella obviously came here often and found a corner seat. When the waiter saw her, she was very excited, "Miss Charles, is this your boyfriend?"

When Bella heard the waiter's question, her pretty face turned embarrassed and she quickly shook her head, "No, he's my friend."

The waitress smiled.

Ben pulled up his chair and sat down. He subconsciously smiled. It seemed that in the eyes of outsiders, they were still a perfect match. Otherwise, she would not suspect that he was her boyfriend. "You are familiar with this place. You can order." Ben said in a low voice.

Bella took the menu and looked at it carefully. She raised her head and asked him, "Mr. William, do you like fish? It tastes good."

"Sure." The man nodded.

"Then do you like ribs? They are also so good."

"Okay."

"This fried cod is also delicious. Do you want to try?"

"Yes."

Bella ordered five dishes. After that, she felt as if something was missing. Only then did she remember that it was wine.

"Mr. William, would you like some wine? You don't drive anyway." Bella asked him in a low voice.

"Have a bottle of wine." Ben said. His voice was flat.

Bella quickly ordered a bottle of wine that was considered expensive.

Bella only wanted Ben to enjoy this meal.

While waiting to be served, Bella was a little nervous. Ben held a cup of tea and looked out of the window from time to time, but unknowingly, he started to look at the girl sitting opposite him. She sat upright, and her expression was serious. She looked innocent and youthful.

This tempting temperament was clean and natural, making people want to take it for themselves.

When this thought flashed through his mind, Ben secretly called himself an asshole.

"Bella, are you still looking for a job?" Ben suddenly asked her.

Bella pursed her lips and nodded, "Of course. Actually, I've thought about it. There should be a job suitable for me. I can play the piano and paint. If I can replace a proper restaurant where I can play the piano for customers, it should be good, but if I can't replace one, then I'll work part-time as a painting teacher and teach kids how to paint after school." Bella said seriously.

"I think painting is a good job for you, but as for playing the piano, I don't think you can handle those picky guests." When Ben heard that she was going to play the piano in the restaurant, he immediately thought of some drunken men staring at her. Perhaps some bold men would even harass her and tail her, which would be an absolute disaster for her, and he didn't want to see her suffer that.

"Is that so? Then I'll go to some training institutions nearby and see I can be a part-time painting teacher in the evenings." Bella's back trembled when she heard that there would be some picky guests. She thought again of those unreasonable people she had encountered that day when she had worked at the bar, and she really couldn't handle them.

"I will ask around and see if there is any work in this field. I'll introduce it to you." Ben said kindly.

"Really? Thank you so much. If so, I might owe you another favor." Bella's eyes lit up and she was so grateful.

"Didn't you treat me to dinner? You've returned the favor." Ben said with a smile.

"No, you've helped me a lot." Bella laughed at herself.

"But in my opinion, it's a big deal that you treat me to dinner." Ben did not want to see the self-mockery in her eyes and felt that it was not worthy of her pretty face.

Bella pursed her lips and smiled. She was a little shy.

At this moment, the food came. It smelled so good. Bella picked up the wine and took the initiative to pour half a glass of wine for Ben, "Mr. William, I don't know how to drink, so be free to drink." Ben nodded and reached out to receive it. With good wine and pretty girl, he was in a good mood tonight.

Little by little, Ben drank half the bottle. In fact, he was a good drinker, but when he saw the pretty girl sitting opposite, he suddenly thought of something. If he pretended to be drunk, what would happen? After dinner, Bella paid the bill. When she got back, she saw Ben holding his head and sitting on the table uncomfortably. She was shocked and quickly asked him with concern, "Mr. William, are you alright?" Ben stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. He shook his head, and his handsome face was slightly red, "Perhaps I drank too much, and my head was a little dizzy."

Bella was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that it was almost gone. Was he drunk?

Bella was at a loss for what to do. She really didn't think it would end this way.

"Mr. William, let's go back. Can you walk? Do you need me to help you?" Bella complained to herself. She ordered the wine. Ben was drunk, so she could not blame him. She had to send him home safely. Ben was amused. This girl was really simple and easy to cheat. She actually thought that he was drunk. "Be careful. This way." Bella's hand was behind Ben's back, and Ben's hand was on her shoulder. Bella stumbled, but even so, she didn't abandon him, and tried her best to support him to the elevator.

Ben originally wanted to tease her, but when he saw that she was really trying to support him, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt. How could he play with her sincerity?

But at this moment, his performance had already begun. He couldn't stop now. This made it even more obvious that he was a liar. Ben only tried his best not to let her suffer and walked on his own.

The elevator door opened and Bella helped him in. Ben hurriedly leaned against the wall and didn't dare to continue to act like a rascal.

However, Bella thought that he was really drunk. Based on her understanding of men's alcohol tolerance, Ben shouldn't lie. He must be really drunk.

Ben had no choice but to put on an expression like he was having a hard time getting drunk. However, he couldn't go on pretending.

When the elevator reached B1, Bella reminded him in a low voice, "Mr. William, there are a few steps. Walk slowly and be careful."

Ben's head was running wild. He really missed the step and leaned forward.

"Watch out." Seeing Ben throw himself forward, Bella stood with her arms wide open and directly hugged him. Ben fell on top of her and hugged her whole body.

Bella straightened her back and held his tall body firmly. She never expected that they would stick together at this moment.
