At half past six, Gabrielle and Westley arrived in a restaurant for breakfast.
The two of them got up because Gabrielle was hungry and drove there straight from the hotel.
They wanted to keep a low profile, so they requested a private room. After all, it would be big trouble if Westley was seen in public.
Besides, they could have peace and quiet.
After the two sat down, Westley made sure to order everything Gabrielle liked. He was considerate enough not to order any fish or shrimp.
Gabrielle chugged down a whole glass of water in hunger. Westley was both concerned and saddened.
"Don't drink too much, else you'd have a stomachache," Westley remarked.
"It's okay. Thank you for taking me here to eat such a fancy meal." Gabrielle liked the breakfast options in this restaurant. It was the best Cantonese dim sum restaurant in Antawood, much so that they didn't accept any appointments nor delivery. It was always amazingly full of customers. It was the first time that Gabrielle had been here so early.
"Don't sound so formal. I'm happy you like it." Westley smiled.
As long as he could provide it, Westley would give her the best in the world.
Gabrielle's eyes sparkled as the waiters set down the food one by one. On the other hand, Westley watched her endearingly with his soybean milk in hand.
Gabrielle was starving. She stuffed food in her mouth like a hamster. Westley almost worried if she would choke.
"Eat slowly, Gabrielle. No one's going to take them away from you. We can order more once you finish." Westley chuckled, looking at her adoringly.
"Don't worry about me. You should eat too, Westley. Don't just watch there." Gabrielle felt it embarrassing to be started at while she was eating.
"I'm not hungry yet. You eat up." He only got out of bed to take her out for breakfast.
"Are you sleepy, then? I'm sorry I woke you up." Gabrielle suddenly felt a little guilty.
When she woke up, Westley looked as though he could sleep through a storm. It was just when Gabrielle shifted on the bed that he was stirred.
"I always wake up early, silly. I actually woke up unusually late today. Well, you can keep eating." Westley reached for a steamed bun and gave it to her.
It was already eight o'clock when the two finished their meal. Gabrielle had to go to the company to find Lolita and then they would need to explain to Jason what happened last night.
She wondered if Lolita would be there at that time.
"Westley, please drive me to the company." She followed her husband to the parking lot.
"Gabrielle?" A surprised voice stopped her in her tracks.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Melissa stepping out of her car just a few meters away.
"Oh, Ms. Glyn! Good morning." Gabrielle smiled.
Then she quickly looked back to wave at Westley, asking him to wait.
"Are you here for breakfast?" Gabrielle asked Melissa sincerely. Every time she met her idol, she'd hoped they'd be closer.
"Jackson told me of a nice dim sum restaurant here in Antawood. Seeing you here, I guess I'm in the right place."
Melissa smiled.
