Although he had these doubts, he couldn't bear to let Eve down like this, so he cleared his throat and reached out for the delicate box.
"Would you like to open it and see?"
Eve said again, full of expectation.
Stellan stayed silent for two seconds before opening the box.
To his surprise, it looked quite appealing.
Much better than he imagined, even refined, one might say.
Then the taste...
"President Sutton, just take a bite, just one bite is enough."
Seeing his expression wasn't that resistant or unpleasant, Eve added.
Stellan's hand holding the pastry hesitated visibly.
"Wait a minute."
Eve suddenly spoke up, stopping him.
"President Sutton, if possible, could I take a photo? Send it to Lynn, it'll put her mind at ease..."
Stellan initially just wanted to give it a smell, never expecting she'd want to document it.
Facing his gaze, Eve realized how ridiculous her request was and chuckled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything..."
