Lawrence Winters hadn't finished speaking when Blake Leaf came in, carrying a large tray.
Hearing Lawrence's last sentence at the door, Blake's eyes turned slightly red, and he cast a grateful glance at Lawrence, lowering his head in silence as he served the dishes.
It seemed as if Big Sister Three Billion had never considered the issue from this angle before.
She hesitated for a moment, but when Blake began serving the dishes, she couldn't help but say, "What's the point of pretending to be someone you're not? There are so many profitable paths in computer science, yet you choose to serve dishes instead..."
Blake paused for a brief moment, then continued to place the dishes on the rotating table in front of them.
Throughout it all, he never raised his head again.
From Lawrence's angle, she could only see the two whorls on the top of his black head.
It's said that people with two hair whorls are both smart and stubborn.
