Chapter 638
"That's all for now." Lola faked a smile, and her palm was sweaty.
Cedrick took a sip of the red wine with an incomprehensible smile.
"Miss Atherton seems to know well about Italean cuisine. I saw that you picked two similar dishes. I prefer tuscana seafood a little more. What about you?"
Lola nodded hastily in agreement. "I like tuscana seafood too. It is so fresh and tangy while chewy at the same time. Everyone should give it a try later."
Cedrick's cold glare shot right through Lola.
"It's a type of soup. How would it be chewy?"
Soup? Lola's face turned red immediately.
"Right, it is soup. I'm sorry, I just thought about something else."
"Cedrick, perhaps Miss Atherton was describing the seafood in the soup, weren't you, Miss Atherton?" Catelyn placed her wine glass down, and looked at Lola.
"Yes, that was what I meant. The soup is tangy, and the seafood is chewy."
Phillip's face sank as he looked at Lola coldly. "Do you not know that I am allergic to seafood?"
Lola smiled stiffly. "I... forgot about it."
Cedrick smiled again, incomprehensibly. "Perhaps, Miss Atherton does not even know what is inside the soup."
Phillip realized he was fooled. "So you have zero clue about Italean cuisine! Why did you say that you like it, then? Don't pretend to know things when you don't. It was better for Miss Clark to order then..."
Soon, the waiter served the food as soon as Phillip finished his sentence.
The dishes were all colorful and in great variety, but there were barely any mains.
Looking at the three bowls of soup and two plates of salad, Phillip could feel his temples pulsing.
Catelyn received the menu and made a new order. She asked about everyone's dietary preferences and restrictions and made relevant orders.
Even the waiter complimented her for her knowledge of Italean dishes.
The order went well. Lola bit her lip disheartened, her cheeks red. However, she could not leave. She had to stay to watch what other games Catelyn could play.
She had already hooked up with Cedrick, and now she was trying to please the slimy old man as well!
She must be up to something...
Catelyn did not care much about Lola, when it was nearing the end of the meal, Catelyn finally presented her proposal to Phillip.
