On Friday evening, Su Yutan and Lu Xiaozhi went to a flounder restaurant for dinner.
Although this was a couple-themed restaurant, it did not say that it only accepted couples and other people could come to eat naturally. Besides, the lemon grilled fish tastes really good, and the other dishes were also delicious.
The restaurant business was very good. Not only were all the seats full, there were also people waiting in line.
Su Yutan and Lu Xiaozhi both ordered the grilled fish with lemon and had a good time.
Lu Xiaozhi said to his smart watch, “Write down the address of this restaurant and their take-away phone. If you don"t have time to eat later, you can take a few more take-outs.”
Su Yutan was about to speak, and suddenly heard someone calling her.
She turned to look over, and saw her social worker colleague, Bobby.
Bobby was holding a young man"s arm not far away and looked at her with surprise.
Su Yutan got up and greeted Bobby, “You guys came here for dinner as well?”
“Yes, but we are done eating and are about to leave.” Bobby glanced at Lu Xiaozhi and asked with a smile, “Is this your boyfriend?”
Su Yutan shook her head,”He is my doctor-Dr. Lu.”
She introduced Lu Xiaozhi to Bobby, and Bobby introduced her male companion.
After the people greeted each other, Bobby smiled and asked Su Yutan, “You came here to eat, aren"t you sick?”
Su Yutan felt a little awkward.
She asked for a long sick leave and gave all her work to her colleagues.
Now, her colleague had caught her eating at the couple"s restaurant with the handsome doctor. How could she explain this?
It would be better if she could resume work immediately.
But the situation now wasn"t right. She would get suspicious that she was being lazy by using the excuse of an illness.
She couldn"t explain more and had to say, “I was just discharged from the hospital and I still need some rest.”
Without really catching the pervert who peeped at her, she really didn"t dare to contact the children.
Bobby showed a charming smile, “It doesn"t matter, you take a break slowly. After all, health is more important than work. You don"t have to worry about work. Last month, a new person was added to our staff named Cindy. You don"t know her yet, right?”
Su Yutan shook her head and smiled somewhat reluctantly, “Sorry, I haven"t been in the work group for more than three months.”
Mainly because she didn"t go to the detection equipment after the deadline, the social worker software “Best Eye” was automatically locked, and she could not enter the work group.
“I understand, it"s important to get well!” Bobby still smiled charmingly. “Since Cindy came, she took over your work, so we are more relaxed. We don"t need to work overtime every week like before. You should rest a.s.sured that everything is taken care of.”
Su Yutan apologized sincerely, “I"m sorry, it"s a trouble for you.”
A big smile bloomed on Bobby"s face, and she patted Su Yutan"s shoulder. “It doesn"t matter, you can"t help it.”
Su Yutan had nothing to say.
Bobby said, “We are meeting for the first time, how about we take a photo?”
“Okay!” Su Yutan, who was ashamed in her heart, could only pretend to agree happily.
Bobby took Su Yutan"s shoulders and brought her head together to take a photo with Su Yutan.
Bobby said goodbye to Su Yutan and Lu Xiaozhi, “I won"t disturb your meal. Goodbye!”
Bobby left the restaurant with her boyfriend.
Not long after, Mia reminded Su Yutan, “Miss Bobby sent a photo to her social circle, saying that in the flounder restaurant, she met you and there was a handsome doctor having a meal with you.”
Su Yutan laughed.
Lu Xiaozhi looked at everything and smiled and teased, “It seems that your colleagues are a little bit dissatisfied with you.”
Su Yutan said with a mockery, “It is normal to be dissatisfied. I have already taken sick leave for more than three months, and I have left all my work to them, causing them to work overtime every week.
“Also I am here to eat with you like nothing happened. They will be confused and dissatisfied with this situation.”
Lu Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head.
Su Yutan sighed, “She told me that a newcomer came in and took most of my work, just to tell me, your position was occupied.
“She sent our photo to the social circle to let all colleagues know that I, who claims to have been sick, is free and happy.
“She didn"t make a rumor or express any dissatisfaction. As long as anyone reads the words ‘flounder restaurant" and ”handsome doctor", it would turn into gossip and rumours.”
“Since you understand it all, why don"t you explain it?” Lu Xiaozhi asked with a smile.
“I"d rather be misunderstood as being lazy than let them know that I"m being targeted by a pervert.”
“Because the latter situation is more intriguing and more likely to arouse their interest?”
“Yes! They will gossip- How did I get the attention of the pervert? Why did he target me? Is it because of her illness? Mental patients more likely attract such perverts?
Lu Xiaozhi comforted her, “Don"t be afraid, we will always be there for you.”
Su Yutan sighed deeply and smiled at him, “I know.”
When the meal was done, Su Yutan went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
The bathroom of the flounder restaurant was also very romantic.
There were two sinks in the bathroom. When Su Yutan went in, a female cleaner with curly hair, a st.u.r.dy figure, and a mask was wiping the sink with a rag, and scrubbing it.
Su Yutan was washing her hands in the sink next to her.
But before she finished, the cleaner quickly held her neck and pressed the rag against her mouth and nose.
A strong sense of fear exploded in her heart. Su Yutan instinctively struggled, but it was useless.
The rag on the mouth and nose exuded some scent of hemp.
Her face flushed, she couldn"t breathe, soon she felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
