Anita’s gaze moved up again to see the narrow waist wrapped in a well-tailored suit jacket and the slightly unbuttoned white shirt that revealed his sexy Adam’s apple.

Moreover, the pair of tightly pursed lips and chiseled chin under the high nose bridge were completely her type. At that moment, Anita just wanted to say, “How handsome!” He looked like the prince charming in every girl’s heart.

But wait, why did this handsome man look so familiar? Anita thought dubiously.

He was the man from that day. Why was he here? Anita’s eyes widened and she subconsciously wanted to point her finger at Owen, but she realized that it was inappropriate in this situation and hurriedly retracted her hand.

At this moment, Owen also recognized the girl in front of him as the girl from his car that day.

Owen was a little surprised. He had rushed home today because he had heard from his father that he was going to treat his mother’s savior, who he met in Thailand, to a meal today and that he had to attend.

That was why Owen had put off his work and rushed home before he could even change his clothes. Unexpectedly, the two of them met under such circumstances.

When he thought about the night the two of them spent together in the hotel a while ago, the erotic and passionate scene from that night began to flash through his mind. Owen’s ears flushed.

At this moment, Owen didn’t know if he should greet Anita.

So he glanced at Anita quietly.

Anita didn’t want Madam Sylvia and Mr. Jacob to know about their past either, so she gave Owen a pleading look. Owen understood instantly, so they both acted like they didn’t know each other.

Jacob and his wife, who were standing nearby, were sharp-eyed enough to see that their son’s ears were red. Then, they looked at Anita’s face. Neither of them looked comfortable. They were clearly embarrassed.

Thus, the couple exchanged meaningful looks. They were delighted, but they maintained a calm expression.

Sylvia started to invite the two of them to sit, especially since the seating arrangement was very ingenious. Anita had wanted to sit face to face with Madam Sylvia, but after she sat down, she was sitting face to face with Owen. The two of them looked at each other and felt even more awkward.

Only Madam Sylvia felt that the seating arrangement was wonderful. While waiting for the butler to serve the dishes, Madam Sylvia started to introduce her son, and her words were filled with pride in her son.

As a mother, nothing was more delightful than seeing her child being so accomplished.

After his mother finished, Owen picked up his glass and toasted Anita. “Miss Anita, thank you for saving my mother.”

Although Anita was embarrassed about the encounter that day, that was another thing, so Anita didn’t refuse when Owen proposed a toast. When the two of them put down their glasses, Sylvia smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Sylvia started to introduce Anita while talking about how she had saved her in time, and she praised her.

At the end of her speech, Anita was so embarrassed that she wanted to interrupt Madam Sylvia. It was Mr. Jacob who said, “Stop talking. You make it seem like they’re on a blind date. Let the children eat first.”

Hearing the words “blind date,” Owen and Anita felt even more uncomfortable, and they couldn’t help but recall what happened that night.

Moreover, the two of them had already recognized each other, so how could their first chaotic encounter be considered a blind date? So, the two of them felt even more embarrassed.

Seeing the two of them burying their heads in their food in embarrassment and not saying anything, the couple looked at each other and knew that they had to change the topic. Therefore, they stopped talking and started to tell Anita about their family.

Mr. Jacob was a cheerful and talkative person, so he started to liven up the atmosphere. “Anita, do you also majored in computer science? I heard you go to New York University?”

Anita nodded frantically. “Yes, I’m pursuing a computer science doctoral degree now.”

“Haha, not bad. You’re really young and promising.” Then, Mr. Jacob paused and said, “What a coincidence. Our family business also started out in the computer industry. I wonder if you’ve heard of the company An Nuo?”

Anita was a PhD student majoring in computer science, so she naturally knew about this company. Moreover, this company was very famous in the United States.

It mainly provided various software services and technical support for corporations. Due to its advanced technology, it was also a target for many large corporations.

“So you’re the founder of the famous IT company. God, I… I’m so happy,” Anita said excitedly.

“Haha, you flatter me. I’m already old. Now, Owen is the one who handles the company.” Mr. Jacob waved his hand happily and replied modestly.

Then Madam Sylvia said, “Miss Anita, I know you go to New York University. Owen has recently accepted an invitation from his alma mater and will often go back to school to give lectures. You guys can chat more if you have time.”

It was only then that Anita found out that Owen was also a computer genius, and he graduated from New York University. Later, he went to Columbia University to further his studies..
