“Listen, I need you guys..."

Hearing this, they nodded and then went downstairs together.

Meanwhile, Lilah was enjoying the lobster, finding it exceptionally tasty.

“This is a place we should remember," she said, smiling.

Gerard, spotting a bit of sauce on her face, offered her a napkin, saying, "You've got a bit right there. Here, let me."

He carefully cleaned the spot.

Lilah's smile grew wider in gratitude.

"Gerard, how was it for you?"

Gerard nodded in agreement, acknowledging, “Impressive.”

Lilah, with a playful grin, suggested, "What if you joined forces with the restaurant owner and brought it under the Harris Group's umbrella?"

Although Lilah was only joking, she noticed Gerard seemed to be genuinely considering her proposal.

Amused by his contemplative expression, she chuckled. "You're not actually considering this, are you?"

Gerard affirmed, "While the lobster is indeed delicious, its scarcity is a concern. I'll need to assess the market conditions before making any decisions."

Given the Harris Group's involvement in the catering industry, acquiring the restaurant wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if the investigation yielded favorable results.

“I was just joking. You don't have to take it so seriously." Lilah laughed. “Let's just enjoy our meal. Don't we have company matters to attend to tomorrow?"

However, she began to feel a slight stomachache. Glancing at the date, she suddenly realized...

Concerned by Lilah's discomfort, Gerard furrowed his brow and asked, "Lilah, what's wrong?"

"I think... I'm on my period," Lilah whispered.

Hearing her, Gerard swiftly approached and suggested, “Let's head back. I'll take you to the hotel and then go to the store to get you some sanitary towels."

“Okay," Lilah agreed, the discomfort in her belly growing stronger.

They settled the bill and exited the restaurant.

"Lilah, how are you feeling now? If it's too much, we can take a shortcut," Gerard inquired, attentively monitoring her condition.

"It's bearable. I can manage. Let's continue," Lilah said through the pain.

"Let me know if it gets worse," Gerard urged, reluctant to see her in discomfort.
