"Yeah… pretty hungry, actually," she admitted with an eager smile.
Levi wheeled the cart to the side of the desk and slowly lifted the lid. Steam billowed out, carrying a rich, comforting aroma that made her mouth water. He set down a plate of stir-fried mixed vegetables that looked colorful and glossy, and perfectly appetizing.

Before Addison could even swallow the saliva gathering in her mouth, Levi placed a bowl of rice in front of her, followed by another bowl holding five neatly peeled hard-boiled eggs.
"Eat slowly," Levi reminded her as he picked up a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice and poured her a glass.
