After getting out of the car, Roxanne wanted to return the bouquet to Lucian, but the man had already turned and walked into the restaurant.
Seeing that, Roxanne had no choice but to hold on to the bouquet. Just like that, they walked into the restaurant one after another.
Quickly, the server led them to the table Lucian had reserved. For some reason, Roxanne felt weird about the situation.
A lot of the patrons were sneaking glances at them because of their looks and temperament. Aware of the crowd’s attention, Roxanne scanned the surroundings in puzzlement.
Seconds later, she finally realized what was so weird about the situation. We look like a couple, and we look out of place!
She was irked when she heard the server saving. “This is the most popular couple set meal in our restaurant. Would you like to try it out?” Lucian didn’t correct the server. Instead, he agreed to have the set meal and went on to order some side dishes.
Upon hearing the conversation between Lucian and the server, Roxanne suddenly came to her senses. With a frown, she looked at Lucian before turning toward the server and explained, “There seems to be a misunderstanding. I’m not his-”
Before she could finish her sentence, the server looked at her enviously and said, “Miss, those flowers are beautiful. You’re so blessed!”
Roxanne was stunned. When she wanted to continue explaining the situation, the server had already walked away. The other diners were still looking at her.
Roxanne felt rather uncomfortable with the crowd’s inquisitive gazes. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you pick this restaurant?”
Lucian gave a small smile and answered, “I was craving the dishes here.”
Roxanne frowned when she heard that. She wanted to question him further, but the server was already serving the dishes. Left without a choice, Roxanne fell silent. A troubled looked appeared in her eyes when she saw the set meal for couples.
Lucian, who was seated across from her, saw the look in her eyes.
His expression turned gloomy when he saw how troubled she looked. Hence, he kept mum and started eating. Roxanne was concerned about his gastritis, so she didn’t say a word when she saw how focused he was when he ate.
A while later, she saw that Lucian was almost done with his food, so she said, “Mr. Farwell, it’s getting late. I think we should get right into business.”
Lucian paused and knitted his brows. “What do you want to say?”
“Please stop sending me flowers. I don’t like them, and I don’t think it’s appropriate.” Roxanne lowered her gaze to hide her emotions.
Lucian stared at her and asked, “Then what do you like if you don’t like flowers?”
Roxanne was stunned.She quickly regained her composure and cast him a confused glance. Lucian is a smart person, so I bet he knows what I meant. Why did he ask me that anyway? What exactly is he up to?
Roxanne didn’t dare to think too much about it. She clenched her fists to keep her cool. “That’s not your concern, Mr. Farwell. We’re not that close. Please mind your actions and don’t put me in a tough spot.”
Lucian’s gaze darkened when he heard how determined she was when she rejected him. Roxanne pursed her lips and looked at him, hoping to get the answers she wanted.
