At this moment, Rebecca White was fuming, her cheeks flushed with anger, her eyes wide and full of life. It was a far cry from the gentle, fragile person he had known her to be, always in need of care and rarely so animated.
He smirked, So, you’re upset because you saw me having dinner with Selina?
Francis!
Rebecca was taken aback, not expecting him to admit it so bluntly.
I never asked for any promises from you, never! So please, just let me go!
She chuckled bitterly, My ex-husband was a serial cheater, and I refuse to go through that again! This is where we end!
She shook her arm, Let go of me! Or I’ll call for help!
They stood at the restaurant entrance, facing the bustling street. If she shouted, it would undoubtedly draw a crowd.
Don’t want to make a scene, do you, Mr. Johnson?
Don’t shout!
Francis said, but still didn’t release his grip.
Time was of the essence, and he spoke quickly, Stay right here. I’ve got a show for you.
He shot a glance at Sawyer, Keep an eye on her.
Yes, Mr. Francis.
Francis finally let go of Rebecca. Trust me, I haven’t betrayed you, and I won’t let you down.
He took a couple of steps back. Trust me.
Rebecca watched him retreat, confused by his words. She turned abruptly to Sawyer.
What is he planning?
Ms. White. Sawyer handed her a phone.
The screen showed an ongoing call with Francis.
What was going on?
Rebecca took the phone, holding it to her ear, and held her breath.
…
Inside the private dining room.
Francis pushed open the door and apologized to Selina, Sorry, had to take care of something.
No worries, Selina said understandingly, Work is important.
Yeah.
Francis pulled out a chair and sat down, glancing at the menu. Already ordered?
Not yet, Selina shook her head, I picked a few things, but I wanted your opinion.
Alright. Francis looked over the menu, adding a few of the restaurant’s signature dishes, and ordered a bottle of red wine.
That good?
Sounds good.
Selina could barely contain her
excitement, tallying up the
extravagant choices he made, Just
that bottle of wine alone was worth
,000!
If she could actually get Francis to herself, even for a short while, it would be worth a lifetime!
The dishes arrived one by one.
Francis poured some wine for Selina, Try it, a ,000 wine, it’s just okay, barely drinkable.
Thank you.
Selina held the wine glass with both hands, slightly trembling. Did he just say ,000… barely drinkable?
If she could win him over from Rebecca White, she’d be living the dream!
Here.
Francis kindly cut her steak, Take your time.
Thank you.
Selina was increasingly satisfied
with him. A true gentleman fromet
wealth
family, raised with silver
spoons and golden rules, was truly something special.
She thoroughly enjoyed her meal, feeling utterly content and delighted!
Francis pressed the service bell, and the waiter came in.
Check, please.
Of course.
The waiter picked up the electronic bill from the cart and checked it, The total is
,000. Would you like to review the bill?
Give it to the lady across from me.
Francis gestured towards Selina with a casual nod.
In a calm tone, he said, Today, the lady will take care of the bill.
Very well.
The waiter smiled politely and
handed the bill to Selina, Ma’am et
your total is ,000. Would you prefer to pay by card or mobile payment?
