Arriving at the appointed location, I was about to select a private room when I saw two familiar silhouettes.
It was Theo and Delia.
I frowned. Why would they come here together?
Delia also noticed me, and a cold smile revealed itself on her face. She approached me and said in an unforgiving tone, "Hello, what a coincidence. Why do I feel like I keep bumping into you everywhere?"
I turned around, my tone none too pleasant either as I replied, "I would like to know why it is as well. I wonder why I keep bumping into dogs wherever I go?"
"You!"
Delia was going to add more, but Theo stopped her. "Don't cause a scene in public. Do you still want to eat here?" He sounded very gentle, and she instantly calmed down.
Sure enough, after he said that, Delia was no longer angry. She grabbed Theo's arm even more tightly. "Let's go with your suggestion and switch restaurants so that our mood doesn't get ruined. What do you say?"
"Alright."
He went along with Delia rather easily.
There was a sourness in my heart. Delia glanced at me indifferently. "We're leaving, Wanda. We're not going to disturb your solo dinner anymore."
She emphasized the word 'solo' quite a bit.
Without even waiting for me to answer, I felt a hand on my shoulder turning me around to look at its owner. There was a familiar voice in my ear. "She certainly isn't alone. She's meeting me."
This thick accent could only belong to Nibel.
I did not fight him off. Surprise flickered across both Delia’s and Theo's faces, especially Delia’s. "It hasn't even been that long and you’ve already found someone else. As expected of you, Wanda. You go through men really quickly. Even your relationship with Marius back then had been a little unclear, and now, you're with a foreigner," she sneered. Her words were particularly unpleasant.
