The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 2113

David fidgeted with the chopsticks, continuously loading his plate to avoid the awkward silence that had settled between them.

Soon, the dishes on the table were almost gone.

Rosalind asked, “David, are you full, or should we order some more?”

David reached for a napkin to dab at his mouth, declining, “No, thanks. I’m quite satisfied.”

These phrases were usually exchanged with clients.

Whenever a client would ask if he’d like to order more, he’d generally decline.

He didn’t expect Rosalind to ask, and he reflexively refused.

Right after speaking, David regretted it.

Why did he say no? Couldn’t he have shown some concern, asking if she was full or inviting her to pick something she liked?

His refusal inadvertently cut off any chance for Rosalind to order more.

The dinner was filled with regret for David, not for dining with Rosalind, but for his tactless words.

Before he could attempt to salvage the situation, Rosalind stood up, “Alright then, let’s head out.”

She grabbed her purse and headed for the door, leaving David to sigh inwardly, criticizing himself for not being considerate enough.

As Rosalind left, David had no choice but to follow suit.

Just as they stepped out, Lydia and Ethan emerged from another room.

The four of them met face to face.
