When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 560: Dustin Shepherd Suffers

Kylie Fletcher was taken aback by all the attention, but she was too shy to express herself.

She pursed her lips and glanced at Byron Moss, then at his father, actually waiting for Byron to respond.

Byron knew it was quite a distance from the city to the town; she had driven for at least an hour.

"Do you have any plans this afternoon?" He looked at her, asking softly, "If not, why not join us for a meal before heading back?"

A warmth spread through her heart, and she shook her head, then nodded, "I have no plans this afternoon, we can have a meal together."

Byron added, "However, the restaurants in the town can’t compare to those in the city, the place is small, and the dishes are quite average."

"It’s okay, it’s okay, the most important thing is not what you eat but with whom you eat!"

Kylie responded instinctively, demonstrating exceptional emotional intelligence, "It’s an honor for me to dine with Mr. Moss and Mr. Moss’s father!"

Still calling him Mr. Moss?

What a formal address!

Frederick Moss glanced at them in puzzlement, wondering what their relationship was.

So he asked, "You’re not close? Aren’t you friends?"

The two young people exchanged glances.

Byron was very calm. He just looked at her without answering.

And Kylie smiled awkwardly, "I guess you could say we’re friends?" Then she collected her gaze and looked at Byron again.

She wanted to hear a definite answer from him.

Unexpectedly, Byron turned to his father, changing the subject, "Dad, did you come over today for an inspection? Do you want to take a look around first? See if there’s anything that needs improvement?"

"Let’s have a meal first." Frederick Moss directed his attention to the young girl, "I came without having breakfast, so I’m a bit hungry."

"Alright." Byron nodded, "Shall we go? There’s a restaurant nearby, and it will take some time to stir-fry the dishes."

"Kylie, shall we go?" Frederick Moss couldn’t help but give her a few more glances; she was a very pretty girl.

The girl nodded and followed Byron’s lead.

The small town restaurant had a down-to-earth vibe; an eggplant dish was 24 yuan, a cauliflower dish was 18, and Byron let her order.

She handed the menu to his father.

Frederick Moss suggested to her, "You order, you order, Byron will pay the bill, I’m just worried there might not be anything you like."

Being a man with experience, he understood the girl’s intentions well; she definitely liked his son.

As the saying goes, you build your career first, then your family. Now that the career was built, it was time to start a family.

"Mr. Moss, you order. I’m not picky."

"I’m fine with anything, you order."

"..." Eventually, the menu ended up with Kylie, who reluctantly accepted it, opened it, and ordered four dishes, "Let’s eat first, add more if it’s not enough, ordering too much is wasteful."

Precisely because of this remark, Byron gained a whole new understanding of this rich young lady.

The roadside restaurant was very down-to-earth; when stir-frying, you could hear the sound of the oil and smoke, and the exhaust fan wasn’t very effective either.

After the meal, Kylie’s expensive dress was covered in the smell of oil and smoke.

However, she wasn’t upset in the slightest; instead, she was very happy!

Eating with Byron was something she dared not even dream of, she liked him very much, yet she never dared to get too close.

Even when she wanted to look at him, sometimes she had to be extra cautious.

On this day, compared to Kylie’s joy, Dustin Shepherd was deeply troubled.

President Lancaster, who was jealous, for unknown reasons, assigned Dustin a bunch of tasks, menial chores.

Such as moving water, assembling newly purchased office desks...

One task after another, he didn’t stop for most of the day, knowing full well that President Lancaster was angry, yet he didn’t know how to apologize for doing nothing.

If he apologized, wouldn’t it imply that there’s something between him and Faye Turner?
