The waiter finished talking, pushed the door open, and left. Lucy and Chelsea were left alone in the room, unsure of what to do next.
"I told you, Chelsea. Hugh wouldn't just not show up. He probably missed his flight this morning, and that's why he's so late."
When Chelsea heard that Hugh might still come, she felt a tiny flutter in her heart. Her words came out all jumbled and in stutters, "If he comes... If he's here... I won't forgive him."
Lucy wondered if Chelsea was starting to go easy on him.
They waited for what felt like forever, both of them starving. Finally, the waiter brought out all the dishes.
It was true what they said about VIPs getting special treatment. Their food was served way before the other guests who arrived earlier.
That restaurant lived up to its fame, and it was not just some place made popular by the internet. The dishes looked so good, they wanted to dive right in.
Lucy was immediately drawn to the salmon and wasted no time digging in.
The salmon had just the right balance of flavors, and its vibrant color was a feast for the eyes. It was, indeed, the tastiest salmon Lucy had ever had.
The Beef Wellington was another hit. It was so tender and the homemade sauce was so flavorful that it just melted in their mouths. After one bite, they wanted to gobble up everything on the table.
Initially, they thought they would not finish all the dishes they had ordered, but judging by the way things were going, they might just clear their plates after all.
Lucy mumbled to Chelsea with her mouth still full, "We've eaten everything. What do we do when Hugh gets here…"
Chelsea did not seem to care one bit. "If it's all gone, it's all gone. When Hugh shows up… he can just deal with it."
