Chapter 218 Cedrick, Benjamin, and Catelyn looked elegant in their suits and dress respectively, so much so that they attracted the attention of many guests in the hall along the way. Catelyn simply took off her hair tie and let her hair down and simulated a calmer, more composed version of herself.
They were walking toward the elevator on the second floor when they heard a waiter apologetically explaining to a middle-aged woman in a purple dress, “Miss Coleman, I’m truly sorry. The private room where you often dine in has been reserved by another gentleman. Can I arrange another room for you?”
“That’s fine. It’s also my fault that I didn’t call ahead to make an appointment,” said the woman with a soft voice, without any hint of anger. The waiter immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank you for your understanding, Miss Coleman. Please, come this way!”
“Aunt Janice?” Cedrick could recognize the purple dress even from a distance. It was a gift for her last year.
Janice heard the familiar voice and turned her head slowly. The smile on the corner of her mouth had not been drawn to the fullest the moment she saw Catelyn on Cedrick’s side, both holding hands.
“Aunt Janice,” greeted Benjamin. He knew her personally. “Hello Miss Coleman,” said Catelyn. She felt awkward holding hands with Cedrick. She tried to withdraw her hand, but he was holding it too tightly! Instead, with Janice around, Cedrick seemed to grip her hand even harder as if he was trying to show her deliberately.
“Ah, it seems that Miss Coleman and Master Cedrick know each other,” said the waiter in a
Cedrick. Why don’t…you all share the room and dine together?”
Janice maintained a polite smile, her eyes slowly moving up along the clasped hands of the two and eventually landing on Catelyn’s face. “Miss Clark, do you mind?”
“Of course not!” Catelyn hurriedly responded with a smile. Janice was Cedrick’s aunt, and they shared a close bond. How could she refuse? Benjamin noticed the interaction between Janice and Catelyn, and he simply gave Cedrick a wink and left quietly.
Catelyn’s composure quickly dissipated. She would much rather be with Benjamin than with Janice!
The private room on the second floor was one of Janice’s favorite places to dine. She enjoyed the transparent layout and the blooming flowers around the room. There was also a faint fragrant smell in the atmosphere.
