Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1810

Arianne nodded. “The menu, please. Pass it to me.”

The waitress asked offhandedly, “You’re here alone, hmm?”

Arianne paused for a second. Honestly, she had always wanted to bring Mark along, but she never found the chance… And of course, they just had that blasted quarrel that weighed her heart down now that she remembered it. “Yeah… I guess I’ll be dining alone tonight. Simple dishes should suffice for someone who’s eating alone.”

After picking her dishes, she asked casually, “So, is your boss around? Ever since the restaurant’s opening, he always seems to be around, huh? But he’s not around right now though… Why is that?”

“He’s gone out around this afternoon,” the waitress answered with a smile. “Not sure if he’s gonna return at night, but if you’re looking for him right now, you could probably give him a ring.”

Arianne flashed her a smile. “Oh, it’s nothing. I was just asking. Anyway, don’t let me keep you.”

Service was fast; her awaited dishes were laid before her very soon. Strangely, watching rolling clouds of steam and heat emanating from the scrumptious food in front of her stole her appetite away rather than enhancing it.

Usually at this time, Arianne would be at home having dinner with Mark and Smore. But today—

“And why is this fair lady dining alone? Tiffany and Melanie not joining you today?”

Mateo appeared so suddenly it was as though he had just phased out of nowhere.

Arianne, shocked, had to quickly recollect her thoughts. “Oh, um, er… I was suddenly craving Chinese food so… I guess I came here all alone? Haha, I should really bring them along next time, huh? A-Anyway! I thought you weren’t here at all! When did you…?”

Mateo took the seat directly opposite her and answered her half-jokingly, “Just now. Maybe I had a premonition that you’d be around this evening, so I returned, just in time! Hee hee. Oh, right. We’re gonna add new dishes onto the menu soon, but I would love to have the kitchen prepare them now for you. This is the best time for me to get a bit of your precious review, my beta taster!”
