Stand User in Marvel Universe Chapter 142: Conquered by 1 glass of water
Everyone will instinctively feel panic and resistance when facing unknown things. Compared with mysterious caves that no one has ever stepped into, normal people are more inclined to stay next to things with memory and cognition. This will give They bring a so-called sense of security.
Just like a 'ferocious' creature like a crab, no one ever regards it as food until someone tries to take the first bite...
Pepper is not the first person to dare to eat crabs, but he is still a little nervous and looking forward to it.
Because the ingredients in the restaurant had been exhausted, the bodyguard she brought was given the status of a temporary buyer and went shopping with the list made by Dior.
After a while, he came back with a speechless face. The car behind him was filled with all kinds of ingredients.
"Do you need so many ingredients for a meal? Recently, my appetite has not been very good and I can't eat much." Pepper was also surprised when she saw what her bodyguard had purchased.
Then she noticed that Dio looked at her with a look that said, "How could I give it to you all?" and said, "Don't worry, I won't give you everything to eat. The rest will be reserved for later use."
He almost didn’t say clearly that these were the ingredients his restaurant would need within the next week. Fortunately, Pepper was not stupid. He directed his bodyguards to put all the purchased ingredients into the refrigerator by category. Then after leaving only a few ingredients, she understood it all.
This is her being taken advantage of...
It’s still blatant!
Although these things don't cost much, they still feel very unpleasant.
Pepper suddenly felt that Dio was actually a bit like Tony. They were both the type who would get angry at you unexpectedly, the kind that would make you angry to death, and then leave you speechless, let alone angry.
"Wait a moment, it'll be fine soon. For your sake, I won't charge overtime pay this time."
Look, look!
Here we go again!
Pepper is so angry. You were the one who sent the invitation first, and I even brought the ingredients myself, yet you still have the nerve to ask for overtime pay
She suddenly wanted to hit someone, but Dio, who turned around and got into the kitchen, obviously didn't give her this chance. Her two bodyguards seemed to have sensed some 'danger' and stood far away from her... ....
About 45 minutes later, Dio walked out of the kitchen. A plate of twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, a plate of spicy chicken, a bowl of rice and a large glass of water were placed in front of Pepper's table.
Although the aroma was very tempting, the pieces of fatty meat and the red peppers made Pepper frown. At this time, she didn't really want to eat such greasy food, and she couldn't eat spicy food.
If it were in another restaurant, she would have asked the chef to prepare another dish at this time, which was not in line with her taste at all.
But facing Dio, she couldn't say anything.
"Before eating, it's best to ask your bodyguard to go out for a walk. Many guests who come to my place for dinner are extremely reluctant to have outsiders present." Dio kindly reminded him. He didn't notice Pepper. She frowned, but I believed she would change soon, or that she wouldn't be able to stop at all.
After hearing what Dio said, the two bodyguards, instead of going out, came forward and looked at him unkindly.
Dior didn't care either, but it frightened Pepper, and the **** scene that day would occasionally appear in her sleep.
"Sorry, they just instinctively want to protect my safety, please don't get me wrong."
"Of course, I'm not the kind of petty person. Anyway, I've warned you."
Pepper thought for a moment, and then said to her bodyguard: "You guys go back to the car first, and then pick me up after it's over."
"But..."
"Go ahead, I am the employer. Even if there is a problem, it is my responsibility and none of your business."
The two bodyguards were sent away reluctantly, and they glared at Dior before leaving. But to Dior, the two of them were like dust in the air, so small that they could be regarded as nothing. exist.
"Can we start now?"
"Of course, but it's best to follow my instructions. No matter how bizarre things happen during the meal, please stay calm and follow your instincts. Don't worry, I will always stand here to ensure your absolute safety. ."
Pepper, who had already regained his normalcy, immediately became nervous again after hearing his words.
"I understand."
"Very good, it doesn't matter if you drink the glass of water if you see it, just give it a try."
If you don’t want to eat, drink water first
What kind of way is this?
Pepper couldn't figure it out, but that didn't stop her from picking up the cup and taking a sip. In her opinion, if Dior wanted to harm her, he didn't need to go to such trouble, and these few contacts made her somewhat sure. Because of his character, at this time, don’t ask, just do as he is told.
"Well, this water..."
Pepper has tasted almost all the delicacies in the world over the years. Those top-quality and precious ingredients are nothing to Tony. He even prefers junk food, such as burgers and the like.
So it’s not like Pepper has never drank the ‘exorbitantly priced pure water’, but compared to the water she is drinking now, there is no comparison at all.
It’s so sweet and pure that it’s hard to imagine how a cup of ordinary water can taste so good, it’s so addictive!
No more
In just a blink of an eye, when Pepper, who just wanted to have a taste, came back to her senses, she found that the long water glass in her hand was actually empty, and she was still trying to put it into her mouth. Actually, I don't want to let go of even a drop of it.
This...
Pepper put down the water glass in disbelief, glanced at Dio, and found that he did not mean to laugh at her, but had an expression that he was accustomed to.
"Don't look at me, almost everyone will behave like this. Also, please believe in my professionalism. No matter what happens today, I will keep it secret and will not use it as propaganda to inform others."
What will happen
Pepper wanted to ask ~IndoMTL.com~ but she held back.
"Do you still have this water? Can I eat something?"
When mentioning the water she just drank, Pepper actually licked her lips in a rare move. Moreover, just a glass of water tastes so good, so how delicious the food here will be. She can't wait to taste it now. Well, as for greasy and spicy, it doesn’t matter!
"You can only drink one glass of this water for the time being. As for eating... I don't think you are in the mood yet."
As Dior said something pointedly, Pepper suddenly touched her face and found that she had burst into tears without realizing it, and she couldn't stop at all!
