"Clatter—"
Eilies and Cynthia's chopsticks hit the floor.
Dane and Kaylee quietly sipped their water, their calmness almost eerie. They remembered their first time meeting Rafael with Flora; they had been so stunned they nearly froze on the spot.
Only then did Rafael notice the two unfamiliar faces in the booth.
"Are these the roommates you mentioned?" he asked.
Flora nodded casually and waved over a waiter to get clean chopsticks for Eilies and Cynthia.
At that moment, Eilies and Cynthia were beyond shocked, feeling like they had stepped into a surreal world. They couldn't believe that Rafael, who was known online for his cool and aloof persona, kept calling Flora by her name.
Flora, for the most part, would respond lazily, sometimes not even bothering to reply.
Rafael would then look at Flora with puppy-dog eyes. If he had a tail, he probably would have wagged it.
Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that the person now acting so adorably was actually Rafael.
Cynthia glanced at the table full of dishes, on the verge of tears. She had ordered without waiting for Rafael... Would he think she was incredibly rude? And to make matters worse, they hadn't put on any makeup today, their faces pale and tired from staying up late. The more she thought about it, the closer she got to crying.
The meal concluded with Eilies and Cynthia silently fighting back tears and their pounding hearts.
After dinner, Rafael had his assistant take Kaylee, Dane, Cynthia, and Eilies to the entertainment room downstairs, as he needed to discuss something important with Flora.
Flora had agreed to meet Rafael to discuss choreography. Kaylee and Dane had been eager to meet her, so she decided to invite everyone out for dinner.
