Charlotte hesitated slightly, “This seems to be a couples’ restaurant.”
Joseph was too insensitive to tell that this restaurant was different from the rest. “They are just a regular business. Who stipulated that this place is only for couples? Customers are king.”
Hence, they walked into the restaurant together, where the waiters welcomed them warmly. Charlotte was presented with a customized couple’s mug that was created by this restaurant.
The mugs were very adorable, where a blue angel and a pink angel sat atop the two cup covers, respectively.
Charlotte was a young girl after all, and she was overjoyed to receive the mug. She held onto them carefully as she sat down, “It’s so cute!”
Joseph glanced at the mug and picked up the blue mug. “These are things that only children will like.”
Charlotte snorted and decided to ignore him.
“What do you want to eat?” Joseph was looking at the menu.
Charlotte bit her lip. “Anything.”
“Don’t say that. What if you get something that you don’t like?” Joseph pushed the menu in front of her. “Have your pick.”
This was Charlotte’s first time at a restaurant like this, and she noticed that all the dishes were either meals for two or designated couples’ meals.
A faint blush appeared on her pink face. How am I supposed to order?
Some of her hair fell across her face and covered up the disfigured side of her face. The remaining side had a pretty flush on it.
“I... I don’t know what to order,” she stammered.
Joseph had no choice but to order the signature set meal.
In the end, Charlotte was mortified when the dish was served.
In order to highlight the theme of the restaurant, and to emphasize the intimate atmosphere, the restaurant had only given them one set of utensils for their food.
In fact, there was only one straw with the tea.
However, Joseph was still blissfully unaware of what was going on. He cut up the steak into cubes and pushed the plate to her. “All right, you can eat first and I’ll eat after that. I am fine with that.”
Charlotte’s lips trembled slightly. “But...”
Even Uncle Lochlan has never eaten off my plate.
