I still did not understand what Theo was trying to do today by the time I got home.
He just asked me about my purpose for looking for Gareth Zeke and even…
I wiped my freshly washed hair and subconsciously touched my lips. Was he aware of what he was doing?
All of a sudden, I quivered. Was I remembering that?
I had gone mad!
Just when I was thinking of this, I suddenly received a message on my phone. It was from Don, whom I had not seen in a long time. [That meal you promised me, shall we have it tomorrow?]
Of course.
I replied to him and quickly received another message from him. He had written down the place and time.
The next day, I arrived as promised.
It was a rather romantic French restaurant.
"You've got a pretty good eye, Professor Logan, to have chosen this place." I had seen numerous people check in here online and had thought about giving it a try yet never had the time to.
Don smiled lightly, looking much like a gentleman. "The reviews were pretty good, so I thought of trying the place out."
"Yeah. Have you ordered?"
"Yes. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like." He handed me the menu and told me the dishes he had already ordered.
I noted it was basically all the signature dishes, so I did not order anything else.
“You must have something you wish to discuss for inviting me out for dinner all of a sudden, don’t you, Professor Logan?” I somehow felt that something was off with Don’s demeanor today. I asked what I did since he obviously had something to say.
Having got the nail on the head, he smiled embarrassedly and then slowly said, “So you saw through me. I do, in fact, have a favor to ask.”
“Let’s hear it.”
"I have a seminar tonight and am in need of a female companion. I was wondering if you would join me?"
I opened the door, and Don’s eyes shone when he saw me. “It looks excellent. It suits you. Let’s go, then.”
“Alright.”
I got into his car, and Don started following the navigation.
The place was looking more and more remote. I looked out the window. There were trees, flowers, and plants everywhere. This scene was rather familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it. I supposed all remote locations looked similar.
I did not mind it, and time slowly passed. “Are we not there yet?”
“We’re almost there. I’m sure you're tired.”
“Just a little. This seminar place of yours is pretty far.”
“Yes. It’s held at the expert’s own villa, so it’s a little far.”
His own villa?
