Chapter 133: 133 None of Your Business

"Hi, Kate! It's Rowen."

"Hi, Rowen. I didn't expect you to call!"

"It's almost time for lunch, and I would like you to join me. Are you free?"

"I……"

"Don't worry; it's just time for lunch. It won't take any longer than your usual lunch break; I wouldn't want to disturb your work. I just think that since I am back, it would be nice to talk," Rowen quickly said.

Kate thought of his leg injury and said with concern, "Is your leg better?"

"It's getting better," Rowen was glad that she cared, then asked again, "So, are you free at noon?"

"Okay, you decide where," Kate agreed.

"Just so that you don't need to go too far, we can meet across from your office. Lisa told me that there is a good restaurant there," Rowen suggested. He had already planned their lunch date but just needed Kate to accept.

Kate smiled and said, "Let me guess you are already at the gate of the office building?"

Rowen looked around and asked, "Do you see me?"

"No, I just assumed," Kate laughed, "Give me a few minutes, and I will be down."

"Okay, no hurry," Rowen smiled happily and hung up the phone.

A luxury car pulled up across the street from Rowen, but he didn't pay it much attention, he was too excited to see Kate. About five minutes later, she walked out and waved at him.

"Let's go!" Rowen exclaimed with a big smile on his face.

When the man in the car saw Kate and Rowen walking together, he grew furious. He was gripping the steering wheel so tightly that the veins in his hands looked as if they must burst. Once the two entered the restaurant, he looked away.

Rowen pulled out a chair next to the window and said, "Kate, please sit down!"

"Thank you," Kate nodded and sat down.

Then Rowen passed her the menu, "You probably know this restaurant better than I do. Please order all of the delicious meals that you enjoy; I want to try them all. I have been living overseas for too long and miss food from home."

Kate smiled and said, "Then it will be my treat! First of all, it is to welcome you back as your classmate; second is a celebration of your leg healing."

She amused Rowen, "That makes me seem cheap, though. I asked you to lunch, so I should pay."

"Don't be so silly. It is my treat."

"Okay, then next time, my treat," Rowen smiled, thinking that this way, he would have an excuse to take Kate out again.

Kate smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Rowen shook head helplessly, "Kate, I like you more than before. Back in school, you were so shy. Even when you had math questions, you just asked, there was never a lot of conversation other than schoolwork. But, I do feel like we got along very well."

Kate smiled awkwardly, "I was so bad at math at that time..."

"Yeah, my mother said that if it weren't for Chinese, I would have to go back a grade," Kate sighed and said, "Thank you again for helping me with my math. If it hadn't been for your help, I could not have passed the entrance exam."

"I am so lucky just to have you remember something that includes me," he smiled again.

Kate did not inquire about what he meant but just said, "I used to call you tutor. Would you feel awkward if I called you that now?"

"I don't care, whatever you like. But, I would be happier if you call me Rowen like Lisa does or even Dr. Rowen if that makes you more comfortable."

They were not close before, but after not talking for years, Rowen had talked to Lisa. She explained that Kate had suffered a lot, and he only hoped that she could be as happy as she was before.

"Okay, I will call you Rowen, like Lisa. After all, we graduated and are adults now. It will seem like we are still in school if I call you tutor."

Rowen looked at Kate, seeming to be lost in thought.

"Why aren't you eating?" Kate felt uncomfortable when she saw him looking at her, "Is the food bad?"

"No," Rowen shook head and wrinkled his eyebrows before asking, "Kate, is it over between you and Joseph?"

His sudden mentioning of Joseph left Kate speechless. She lowered her head and nodded.

Rowen smiled with delight, "If you really figure it out, then look forward. There is no need to be sad for the past."

"Of course," She smiled and shrugged.

Since he had his answer, Rowen picked up his fork and began eating.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Kate and Rowen said goodbye. Before Kate walked back to work, Rowen gave her two concert tickets, "There is a concert Saturday. I will be performing, and I hope you can come to see me. Please give the other ticket to Lisa. If she is free, come together. I promise you will not be bored."

"Thank you!" After she accepted it, she praised, "I didn't expect you to be so multitalented!"

After being admired by Kate, Rowen felt warm, "Life is not easy, so, I have to be."

Kate nodded to agree and waved goodbye to him.

Across the road, the man sitting in the car stared at Kate.

Once Kate was across the road, someone grabbed her wrist. She spun around in shock and looked up to see a man's deep eyes.

"You refused my gift because you are dating Rowen?" He said in a low voice. He didn't mean to question her, but his tone sounded full of jealousy.

Kate pushed his hand away and said with a calm expression, "It is none of your business who I date!"

The words cut like a knife.

Walking toward the building, Kate was on guard. She thought Joseph would follow her, so she quickly rushed to the elevator. Finally, she let out a sigh of relief when it closed behind her.

Why was he here? Did he see me having lunch with Rowen? He is ridiculous. Why would he think I returned his gift if I was dating another man? I just want to cut off all contact with him. Kate swore to herself.
