Victor Morgan had known for a while that Jessie Sterling was going to attend her website's event. The 24th and 25th happened to fall on a weekend this year, so he had a rare opportunity to have breakfast with her.
Victor had a bowl of savory soy milk, with a meat-stuffed sesame flatbread on his plate. Jessie, unable to stand an entirely savory breakfast, had ginger milk curd, along with a small steamer basket of crystal shrimp dumplings, crab roe buns, and water chestnut cakes prepared by their housekeeper.
But Jessie couldn't finish it all. The steamer baskets the cook used were about the same size as those at a dim sum restaurant, with each holding just two or three shrimp dumplings or a single bun.
She only took a couple of bites of each item, placing the rest onto Victor Morgan's plate.
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive you?" Victor Morgan asked.
