He pretended nothing happened.

They walked into the restaurant.

“I booked a table next to the window. We can see the sea from here. Do you like the view?”

Janet smiled, “Thank you. I like it very much.”

Orville’s eyes lit up again!

They sat down. The champagne and the starter were served.

“This fruity champagne is the most suitable pairing with the salty red silk fish. Try it!”

He picked up the fish and put it in front of her mouth.

Did he want to feed her?

Janet avoided it, “Let me try it.”

She took it with her fork.

Orville put down his fork and started to talk about the auction.

“I liked the necklace a lot. Only you deserve to wear it.”

“Really?”

She liked his compliment.

“But you don’t need it. Any jewelry will look good on you.”

He said, “Who would imagine a gentle beauty would take over the Longfellow Group in one day? Neat!”

Janet laughed.

“You are exaggerating it.”

She was humble.

“I mean it.”

Orville could feel she was unhappy. He wanted to make her feel better bit by bit.

“Thank you for bringing me out for dinner tonight.”

She smiled happily. Orville was fascinated by her smile.

He took another sip of champagne to suppress his emotions.

“It’s my honor.”

The manager came to serve them the food.

“The rainbow trout is from the Pacific rim. Our master chef cooked it with snow water from the top mountain in the western area. The sauce is imported from Italy with a specific flavor. Good appetite.”

The manager was professional.

Orville was interested, “It sounds delicious. Let’s have a try.”

Looking at the redfish, its white soup, and the hot steam, Janet remembered the days before Nathaniel and she got married.

They’d had some good times.

This was his favorite dish. She asked many people to get the recipe.
