Sarah and Steve's dinner continued, every now and then there is the sound of gasp let out from their mouths because of the burning taste in their mouths. The faces of the two also looked sweaty, proving that the crab they were eating was really spicy.

It is spicy but delicious.

Those who are not spicy lovers will definitely not know this sensation, they say that spicy lovers are stupid for eating something that makes their lips and tongue burn, and make them in pain. But that is the sensation the spicy lovers looking for, that taste good for them, make their mouth happy

"I… shh… glad you seem to enjoy it," Steve said with a smile when he saw Sarah eating well.

Sarah didn't say anything and just smiled a little, as Steve said, this was delicious, and she was happy to come with him.

Although she felt a little awkward that Steve had fed her a few times, and often put the meat he worked so hard for on her plate. Sarah tried to open the crab herself, but she was having a hard time with it.

In the end, Sarah allowed Steve to serve her, making her feel like a child, but she didn't mind it. It was nice..

Sarah was starting to wonder if Steve was doing this to her on purpose. She even began to wonder if the man was actually a casanova who had multiple women.

The man is too well-spoken and every word he says can make a woman's heart flutter and feel speechless. Before Steve confessed his feelings, Sarah could sense Steve was joking like that a lot, so she often told him to stop.

Now Sarah was starting to get curious, when was the last time he dated? How many girlfriends has he had to become what he is now? He must be very experienced.

Suddenly, Steve's cellphone which was in his pants pocket vibrated, making Steve immediately take off his gloves and reach for the cellphone. His eyes widened when he saw the name who called him and his face looked panicked.

"Hello? What is it? Don't panic, take a deep breath, follow me, okay, now can you explain what's going on?"

Sarah's face looked confused when she heard Steve's words. What happened?

"Okay, I'll be right there. Don't worry." Steve then hung up the call and put his cellphone back in his trouser pocket.

He then looked at Sarah, his face troubled.

"Sarah, I'm sorry for ruining our date tonight, but I have to go home soon," Steve said with a look of regret on his face.

One of Sarah's eyebrows rose when she heard those words. Date? Aren't they just having dinner? She didn't know it was a date.

"Oh… alright. We're done eating, anyway," said Sarah, then took off her gloves and stood up.

When Sarah was about to pay for her meal, Steve suddenly stopped her.

"What are you doing? I'll pay for it," Steve said then handed his card to the cashier.

"But..." Sarah said feeling bad, the price of the food was quite expensive.

"No buts, I invited you to dinner. So I'll pay for it," Steve said then gave a signal to the cashier to take his card.

"If you want to pay for the meal, you can invite me to dinner next time. I'll be looking forward to it," Steve continued then winked his right eye.

Sarah was once again speechless by Steve. He's too smooth! Now she became convinced that the man was a casanova!

After saying goodbye to Yuchen once again, Steve and Sarah finally exited the restaurant.

"Then, see you later Steve. I'll just take a cab to get home," said Sarah who stopped her footsteps and didn't follow Steve who was walking towards his car.

Steve seemed to have important business at home, and Sarah didn't want to be a hindrance if Steve had to drop her off before he got home.

"Oh, alright. I will accompany you until you find a cab," Steve said then immediately approached Sarah again.

Sarah's head immediately shook with her hands raised.

"I'm fine, you better leave soon. That sounds important," Sarah said with a smile.

Steve tilted his head slightly, his forehead furrowed, indicating that he was currently thinking. As Sarah said, the call was important. However, did he have to leave Sarah here alone?

Although Steve was sure it wouldn't take Sarah long to find a cab, he didn't want to leave her alone, even if it was just for a minute.

"How about you come with me?" Steve asked after getting his decision.

"Eh? To your house?" asked Sarah in surprise. She didn't expect Steve to ask her to come with him to his house.

Steve nodded.

"My apartement. Actually, the one who called earlier was my neighbor's daughter. I've tended to her father who has epilepsy many times, and it looks like he's having a seizure. I've told her what to do, but she's still often scared," Steve explained who called him.

Sarah's lips parted slightly with an ooh sound when she heard that. She thought Steve was going to take her to his parent's house, but he actually meant his apartement.

She forgot that Steve didn't live with his parents.

"Then let's go! You have a patient!" said Sarah and then lightly hit Steve's back. How could the man be silent like this when he had a patient waiting for him?

A wide smile appeared on Steve's face again, he was glad his night with Sarah didn't end.

"Thank you, Steve. Thank you very much," said a woman who was about 16 years old when Steve had checked her father's condition and he looked fine. Her face was smiling shyly as she played with her hair.

The woman then turned her gaze to Sarah who was with Steve, her expression immediately changed.

"Is this your girlfriend? She's not that bad, but I'm prettier. You should be my boyfriend, Steve!" the woman said, looking at Steve who was walking towards them.

"Ouch…" she screamed for the next few seconds, feeling the pain in her forehead.

"You should just study properly and become a doctor so you can take care of your dad!" said Steve who could only shake his head at the girl's attitude.

The woman just pouted when she heard Steve's words, she then looked at Sarah.

​ "Steve turned me down because I was underage. Enjoy your time with her, old lady! I will marry Steve!" said the woman as she folded her arms in front of her chest and glared at Sarah.

Sarah was silent when she heard this. She didn't know how to respond to her.

"Don't call her old, she's much prettier than you! Then, we'll go first!" Steve said then immediately put his hand on Sarah's shoulder and walked out of that woman's unit, ignoring the woman who grumbled with annoyed face.

"Would you like to come over to my apartment?" Steve asked suddenly, pointing to the door that was right beside them.
