You still Alice didnt object and walked away with him .

Nathan didnt follow .

When did I owe you a meal ? she asked Jack .

The car accident , he said .

Alice remembered .

Jack had almost been hurt because of her , and shed promised to treat him to dinner once he recovered .

Oh , right , she admitted .

Glad you have a conscience .

What do you want to eat ? Jacks gaze locked on hers .

Anything youre willing to agree to ? His gaze felt different .

Or maybe she was imagining it ; the man was a master of concealment .

Alice shrugged .

Im broke right now .

Nothing too expensive .

What do you usually like ? I heard a new private kitchen opened near campus .

Supposedly good .

Want to go ? Jack nodded regally .

Private room .

Demandng , but the man liked quiet and was a bit of a neat freak .

Alice booked a private room , and they walked there , side by side but a comfortable arms length apart .

Alice checked her navigation and realized they were off course .

Jack came up beside her .

Lost , little turtle ? The GPS is wrong .

Youre just bad at reading it .

Give it here .

He took her phone , glanced around , then closed the navigation app .

Follow me .

Youre not using the GPS ? You remember the way ? Remembering a route is easy .

Just follow the lost lamb .

Alice poked him in the lower back.

Dont give me nicknames .

Little turtle , lost lamb … Jack sucked in a breath , his eyes darkening .

Dont What ? Ticklish ? touch a mans waist .

I wasnt touching , just poking .

Her voice trailed off .

Jack released her hand and continued walking , but his composure was gone .

Alice followed , rounding a corner to arrive at the private kitchen .

Once in their private room , the owner greeted them .

Were busy tonight , I apologize for any inconvenience .

Please have a look at the menu .

Jack sat down without taking the menu , looking at Alice instead .

The owner then offered it to Alice .

Your boyfriend is SO thoughtful , letting you order .

Im swamped ! Before Alice could explain , the owner left .

She looked at him .

What do you want ? Whatever youre having .

Alice , knowing his preferences , ordered several dishes , including some specialties .

Silence fell over the private room .

Alice felt Jacks gaze on her constantly .

She looked up , meeting his eyes .

They held each others gaze , neither speaking , until he rotated the table to adjust her chopsticks and bowl .

His knuckles were strong , and his every move was elegant .

What are you looking at ? He set the bowl and chopsticks in front of her .

Alice tilted her head .

Youre so handsome , I cant help but look .

He narrowed his eyes .

Is that your way of insulting me ? No , youre really good looking , she said .

My type ? Alices chopsticks clattered to the floor .

She fumbled to pick them up , feeling flustered .

Had he noticed something ? Or was he being playful ? Jack picked up the chopsticks , replacing them with his own , then got a new pair for her , warming them again .

She didnt answer his question , and he didnt press it , as if hed never said anything .

Jack watched her play with her phone .

He admitted to himself hed been deliberately teasing her .

She was too close to John Wilson .

Just as he was about to speak , the server arrived with their food .

Alice , suddenly ravenous , attacked the food .

Jack watched her eat , saying nothing , but noticing shed ordered according to his preferences .

They ate in comfortable silence .

Once Alice was full , she relaxed , her mood greatly improved .

She noticed Jack had already finished .

He was looking at her , his gaze calm and steady .

She felt a little self conscious .

Why are you looking at me ? She wiped her mouth , though it was clean .

Jacks hand rested on the table .

Feeling better ? Much better .

Alices hand paused .

She looked at Jack , her gaze hopeful but also apprehensive .

His family , especially his mother , has always disapproved of his gaming .

If anyone could make him quit , it would be his mother .

Hed never even considered making John Wilson quit ! Alice was stunned .

John Wilsons mother ? The wealthy Mrs.

Wilson ? It was probably a wrong guess .

Disappointed ? Jack caught the clear disappointment on her face .

Alice shook her head .

No , its getting late .

Lets go .

Jack stood , his gaze lingering on her .

Youre that determined to win ? Even if I wanted to win badly , I wouldnt use those tactics .

Jack agreed , but Alices question still felt strange .

He didnt press her further .

At the counter , Jack scanned to pay .

Alice protested .

Didnt we agree I was paying ? Youre paying .

Im settling the bill , Jack said , unfazed .

The owner smiled .

The boyfriend should pay , naturally .

A handsome couple , she thought .

Jack paid without expression .

Alice turned to the owner , but then someone called her name .

Alice , is that you ? Chloe walked in , eyes darting between the two .

She said , with a triumphant smirk , Youre on a date and chose this … dive ? So cheap ! My boyfriend , Garrett Yates , is taking me to Pear Garden .

Only high rollers eat there .

It costs ten million just to join the membership program .

Alice blinked .

She glanced at Jack .
