Before I knew it, it was almost seven o'clock and the sky gradually darkened.

Caroline sat on the sand in the living room, absent-mindedly picked up the remote control and changed to a TV station. She could vaguely hear the music coming from the resort banquet hall, and couldn't help but look at the door again.

Eric said he would prepare food for her, but it had been more than an hour now. Although he knew that Eric would never lie to him, the girl was still worried about gains and losses, and even wondered if something happened temporarily, otherwise Eric shouldn't have left for so long.

Mayer walked over from the kitchen with a pot of just-cooked boiled water, and happened to notice Caroline's eyes and smiled, "Carly, why don't I call and ask?"

Caroline shook her head quickly: "No, I, I'm not hungry."

Mayer poured Caroline and himself a glass of boiling water, put ice in it, handed Caroline a glass, and said, "Maybe the boss is making food for you personally, so it will take so long."

Caroline took a sip with the glass, and said, "Mary, the party over there should have begun, why don't you go there first."

"I'm not in a hurry," Mayer shook his head, sat down on the sand, and said, "If the boss comes back and shows that I'll leave you alone here, I'll be in trouble."

Caroline said: "Definitely not, Eric is so good to us."

Thinking of all the things that happened since she joined the company, Mayer also agreed with Caroline. Eric is indeed very good to the people around her. Even if she makes some minor mistakes occasionally, Eric just laughs it off. Mayer feels that besides being fickle, this man is simply impeccable. In the deepest part, Mayer also has some small resentment that she doesn't want to admit: this guy likes to tease women so much, but turns a blind eye to himself.

However, when I think of that night in the villa in the Kensington Garden Street, London, maybe it's not that I turn a blind eye, but she herself failed to seize the opportunity. Whenever I think of the situation at that time, Mayer regrets why she didn't take the initiative at that time.

The two women chatted casually, and after a while, the sound of cars finally came to mind outside the door.

After a while, Eric walked in carefully carrying a plastic box, which was covered with several layers of cotton cloth, and a white ceramic casserole on it.

As soon as Eric walked into the living room, Caroline and Mayer immediately smelled the rich meaty aroma, and the smell was mixed with a faint sweet corn smell.

After saying hello to the two girls, Eric walked to the coffee table beside the sand, gently put the casserole in the box with a cotton cloth and placed it on the coffee table, and ordered: "Mary, can you go to the kitchen to get some tableware?"

In fact, Mayer has not eaten yet. He smelled the rich fragrance around him, couldn't help swallowing, nodding and getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

Eric uncovered the lid, and the fragrance in the living room became stronger. He said to Caroline, who looked curious, "Corne rib soup, the chef in the resort doesn't know how to make it, so I asked someone to come outside to find a chef. When the first time I cooked it, the other party actually added cream, completely covering up the fragrance of the ribs and corn itself. I asked him to remade it. Actually, I can make it myself, but I don't know how to remove the fishy smell. If it doesn't get it done, it will be worse. Now, your foot is injured, and drinking more bone soup during this period is very beneficial. When I go back to Los Angeles, I will find a chef to help you make it every day."

When Caroline heard Eric talking, she felt a little sweetness in her heart. At the end, she hurriedly said, "No, Eric, and if you eat too much of these things, you will get fat."

Eric smiled and said, "Don't worry, no, I specifically asked, rib soup is very nutritious, but it is actually very low in calories."

Mayer quickly brought two sets of tableware from the kitchen. Caroline saw these and said, "Eric, there is a lot of soup, Mary can eat it together."

"No," Mayer shook his head and smiled with a relaxed expression: "I'll just go there and eat."

"Marie, stay together," Eric picked up a small bowl to help Caroline serve soup. He also said, "This is enough for the three of us to eat. You go and get a pair of tableware."

Mayer hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and ran to the kitchen again.

Eric helped Caroline serve the soup, carefully picked a few pieces of ribs, and tried the temperature outside the small bowl with his palm close to it. It was not too hot, so he handed it to the girl and said, "Try it."

Caroline carefully held the bowl in her hand, picked up a piece of rib with a spoon and sent it to her mouth, and took a bite very ladylike. She felt that the meat was tender and crispy. Although she didn't put too many seasonings, the taste was just right: "Eric, it's delicious."

Eric smiled and said, "Then eat more."

"Well, Eric, you eat too."

Eric nodded and served himself a bowl, and Mayer soon came back to eat together.

Although I knew that I had been a light bulb, after drinking the last bowl of rib soup, Mayer felt satisfied that he was still worth it.

After the three of them finished a pot of rib soup, Mayer carefully packed up the tableware and left immediately.

There were two left in the room, Eric and Caroline, who carefully checked the plywood on Caroline's feet. Eric knew that the fragrance in the room would be good for a while before it could dissipate. After eating and drinking, the appeal of these fragrances would be less great, so he said, "Or what if I take you out for a walk."

Caroline nodded. As long as she could be with Eric, she would do anything.

Eric got up, held the girl in a wheelchair, and pushed her out of the room.

Because of the vast land and sparsely populated employees and the resort is large, Eric pushed Caroline to the cement corridor outside, blew the cool night breeze. Although the music in the banquet hall not far away seemed more obvious, Eric did not have the intention of joining in the fun.

The two stopped by a nearby clump of columnar cactus in Arizona, and Eric said, "By the way, I have asked someone to arrange that we will go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and I will let Mary take care of you in the next month."

"Eric, the doctor said it only takes half a month to get better. In fact, I feel that my feet are no longer so painful now."

"This is not possible. If you don't pay attention to ankle sprain, it is easy to leave sequelae, so you must be sure to recover 100%. "Eric was determined to recover 100%. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have an industrial injury, you don't need to work, and you have a salary."

Caroline felt Eric's tone and said nothing, instead, "Eric, will those reporters be troublesome in the afternoon?"

Eric said in a relaxed tone: "Of course not, but disappointment is certain. However, we have no obligation to provide them with big news."
