Cecilia Gu heard movement behind her and turned to look. On the upper deck, several people were slowly walking toward them.
"Hey? Aren't those the chief officer and the second officers of this ship?" Sophie Mo couldn't help but say, "Why are they coming over here?"
Rona Muir also curiously said, "They really are handsome! Even the sailors on this ship are good-looking. I really wonder what the captain will be like."
Cecilia Gu thought to herself: That eccentric captain is definitely a peak in looks, his personal charm can absolutely rival Charles Yin. It’s just his tastes are so weird—he doesn’t like tall, long-legged, big-breasted beauties, but prefers to flirt with pregnant women!
The fishing area where Cecilia Gu was was a special section on the ship.
After all, this is a cruise ship, not a yacht.
So the fishing area was specially set up.
You could only fish when the ship was stopped; while it was sailing, forget about fishing...
Besides, the fish aren’t stupid, right?
Seeing the chief officer and second officers walking over, the people fishing all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at them.
The chief officer and the second officer approached Cecilia Gu with smiles, saluted her, and said, "Miss Gu, the captain apologizes for what happened earlier, so he would like to invite you to dinner as a gesture of apology."
Cecilia's face turned pale.
She really didn't want to see that inexplicable captain again, okay?
"No, thank you. I don't like dealing with people in high positions." Cecilia refused very bluntly.
Rona Muir and Sophie Mo both had a half-smile on their faces.
Cecilia's reaction... was a little over the top. Looks like when she went to the restroom earlier, she must have met the captain already?
Interesting... very interesting...
The chief officer showed no embarrassment at being refused, and continued to smile as he said, "The captain is personally making fresh fish soup for everyone on board. Please come with us to have a taste."
Cecilia was stunned, then her face flushed.
The chief officer only said the captain invited her to dinner, but didn't say it was a private dinner just for her!
Only then did Cecilia feel a little relieved.
At this moment, a chef pushed a food cart, delivering meals to guests at different tables.
A food cart arrived at Cecilia's table, and the chef carefully placed several dishes in front of her.
Cecilia was startled. "What kind of fish is this?"
Sophie Mo took a look and exclaimed, "This is a type of fish that lives in the deep sea, called Norwegian salmon. It's so strange—this isn't Norway, so how do they have Norwegian salmon here? And the salmon is clearly very fresh, obviously just delivered from Norway..."
Cecilia was at a loss for words.
The value of such a plate of fish must be pretty high, right?
Looking around, it seemed everyone else was eating something different.
It wasn't just Cecilia's dish that was different.
Cecilia didn't have what was on other tables, and vice versa.
Since every table was different, Cecilia couldn't really judge.
It just felt odd.
Rona Muir didn't care at all and said, "Whatever, we'll eat whatever they serve! Cecilia, didn't you say you wanted to see Aunt Jane Xiao after dinner? We should hurry and eat. There are a lot of people dining here, so they've split us into these small tables. Let's finish up quickly so we can give others our seats."
Cecilia saw more and more people coming into the dining room, so she nodded and started eating slowly.
Each dish was small, just a few bites.
But there were so many dishes!
Cecilia counted at least dozens of kinds, not to mention those she didn't have time to count.
After finishing the meal, Cecilia felt that just the plates alone could fill a box.
After eating and drinking her fill, Cecilia quickly stood up to give her seat to someone else.
At that moment, an assistant walked over and handed Cecilia her phone. "It's Mrs. Jane calling."
Hm? Mom is calling me?
Cecilia immediately answered the phone, "Mom? What's up?"
Jane Xiao laughed over the phone, "Cecilia, the ship will dock soon. Leon Mai and I decided to take a stroll around X City."
Cecilia smiled and replied, "Sure, you two go enjoy your date. Don't worry about me. The three of us will be fine!"
X City is in the south and only has three seasons: spring, summer, and autumn.
So at this time, the temperature in X City was about thirty degrees.
Taking a walk at night was a pretty good choice.
Of course, Cecilia wouldn't interfere with Jane Xiao and Leon Mai's time together. She quickly transferred some money to Jane's card.
After all, dating means spending money.
The ship docked smoothly.
Cecilia didn't feel like going ashore. She sat on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze and watching a drama on her tablet.
Sophie Mo and Rona Muir didn't feel like going ashore either. After all, they've been to all kinds of cities before.
The ship docked for resupply, so they just enjoyed their vacation time.
So while Cecilia watched a Korean drama, Sophie Mo and Rona Muir played chess nearby.
Last time, Rona Muir didn't beat Sophie Mo, and she was still unconvinced!
Many people on the ship chose to go ashore and buy local specialties, either for themselves or as gifts.
So for a while, the ship became much quieter.
Just as Cecilia was engrossed in her show, her phone lit up.
Cecilia glanced at it and was instantly frozen.
The message read: "I heard something happened to Miss Gu's family. Is Miss Gu interested in the whereabouts of the murderer who killed your family member?"
