Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1139

Elsa had no idea why Rita shot them such a judgmental look. Baffled, she started looking around. 'Well, we are not the only ones eating. Why did she say that to us?' Elsa wondered. 'Plus, is there anything wrong in enjoying the food here?'

"That's right. The food is really nice here." Ann might be silly, but not stupid. Just from Rita's eyes, she could tell that she had some sort of aversion towards Elsa. As hard as she tried to remember, she could not recall a time when Elsa might have caused Rita trouble. She had one guess though—Allen. Actually, perhaps everyone in the school—obviously except Elsa—knew that Rita really, really liked Allen. "It's indeed a great opportunity to taste the food prepared by a French chef. We would love to try all the food here." Then Ann winked to Elsa and probed, "Elsa, right?"

"Yes… Right…" Elsa responded absent-mindedly.

Rita just sneered at her response. She has always looked down upon Elsa. Because of this, she just couldn't figure out how Allen could stand a girl like her for one entire year!

"Oh, right." Rita seemed to remember something. "Allen is also here. Elsa, do you want to say hi to him?"

Charlie had been trying for a week to soothe and comfort Elsa and help her recover from her break-up with Allen. However, at the mention of his name, her heart again was engulfed by the sadness and hurt. With a deep breath, she pursed her lips together and cast her gaze down, trying to suppress her intense emotions. However, her trembling hands which were holding her plate instantly betrayed her.

"Rita, Elsa won't talk to him for now. Thank you," Ann said, glaring at the insensitive Rita. Having sensed the current state of mind that Elsa was in, Ann knew that she would not be able to defend herself from Rita's disingenuous remark. Smirking to Rita, she castigated inwardly, 'Elsa was dumped by him. Why would she talk to him anymore?' The smile on Rita's face instantly irked Ann, making her want to slap her. But Ann maintained composure and also put on her fakest smile ever, and said, "You know what, Rita—if you really like that asshole, just take him away. Elsa has no interest in that disgusting man anymore!" Ann concluded her remark with a bitter chuckle.

Rita didn't expect that verbal attack from Elsa's friend. Suddenly, her face turned cold.

"Ann…" Elsa interrupted, but Ann just signaled her to keep the mouth shut.

Rita raised her head proudly and fought back, saying, "Really? I thought someone like her gave up Allen just to try and get between Charlie and Evelyn? Huh?"

Upon hearing the accusation, Elsa was instantly stimulated. Biting her lip, she tried to calm herself down but she soon figured out that she could not. Because of that, she finally turned to Rita, glared at her, and scathingly said, "I didn't intrude." Feeling intensely wronged, she continued, "Charlie and I were classmates in kindergarten and primary school. We are just friends!"

"Not just friends. She's my girlfriend." A gentle voice cut in. The voice truly had the ability to make everyone listening to it feel somewhat relaxed. It was as if it had magic behind it.

The three of them quickly looked at who spoke. It was Charlie, in a white collared shirt under a stunning white tailored suit. He had a black bow tie and it elegantly contrasted with the rest of what he was wearing. The effect made people feel like a spring breeze was touching their cheeks, but they also felt that they were in some kind of danger.
