Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 702
Vermont forced down that weird feeling and harrumphed, "Why are the two of you eating together?" ’How do Miss Bandit and
Marshall know each other?’ he thought to himself.
Marshall responded, "Ms. Thompson and I went to check on Stella. She ended up inviting us for a meal." He snickered as he
continued, "You got yourself a new girlfriend again?"
Vermont replied, No, it's a blind date arranged by my family. We're just having a meal."
Felicity was still drinking her fruit juice as she stared at him. "You're on a blind date, yet you're already holding hands?" 'Who are
you trying to fool?' she thought.
Vermont smiled and replied, "Women swoon before my charm. You were unwilling to let go of me the first time we met, weren't
you? Compared to holding hands, this is peanuts."
Felicity almost choked to death from that reply of his. She coughed until her face was beet red, and she stared at him. "I was
trying to help someone that time!"
Vermont took the chair closest to her and sat down. He then cupped his head, looked at her, and teased her. "Is that right? Why
do I have a feeling that you are attracted by my charm?"
Felicity rolled her eyes and retorted, "I would rather die than be attracted to you!"
Vermont paused and was a little displeased. She thought, 'It was just a joke. Why are you so extreme about being attracted to
me? Is it that shameful?'
Stella returned just as the conversation ended. She was surprised to see Vermont, caught up with the conversation, and politely
asked, "Why don't you join us for a meal, Mr. Snyder?"
Before Vermont could speak up, Felicity responded, "He has already eaten.
’ She then turned her head and told Vermont, "Now, scram!"
Vermont, who did not intend to barge in, decided to sit down instead and smilingly said, ’ Don't mind if I do. I lost my appetite
eating with another stranger over a blind date.”

Stella could not help but thought to herself, 'Being courteous to Vermont is questionable. He’d take it for granted.'
Thus, the meal gathering became a four-person affair instead of three.
Felicity was annoyed. She lowered her voice and said to Vermont, "You shameless fool. Does a free meal give you a false sense
of bravado? Do you even know how much this costs?"
Vermont gritted his teeth. Miss Bandit, I'll foot the bill if you can try to be polite for once.”
She paused before she said, "Hand over your wallet, then."
Vermont was angry, but he forced a smile. 'Do you honestly think I would eat my own words?'
He took out his wallet, and Felicity snatched it away in an instant. She saw a card and immediately revealed her happy face. "Mr.
Snyder, order anything you wish. We'll feed the leftovers to the pigs when we get home."
Vermont was unable to retort, and he thought to himself, 'Since when did we even have pigs?'
Since Vermont was paying, Felicity took back the menu unreservedly and ordered a few expensive seafood dishes.
Vermont did not know whether to smile or be angry at her for relentlessly attempting to order expensive dishes.
'How much of a grudge did she hold for just a few meals?'
After the dishes were served, everyone continued discussing while enjoying their meal.
