Evangeline had been in Avalon City for a good while, but she had never stepped foot in Secret Recipe Kitchen until this day. She figured it was because she was always busy, never having a moment to drop by this cozy little eatery.
Walter, however, was on a first–name basis with the staff, a clear sign he was a regular.
Evangeline and Walter were ushered by the server into a cozy private room. It was not until she settled. into her chair that she had the chance to take in her surroundings.
Secret Recipe Kitchen boasted a decor that was both elegant and simple. Everyday items were transformed by the designer’s touch into something that caught the eye and demanded admiration for the owner’s impeccable taste.
It made sense to her why the illustrious Walter of the Gordon family would choose this place.
The server handed Evangeline the menu, and Walter was all easygoing.
“Pick whatever you like,” he said.
We heart twisted a bit when he caught sight of Evangeline’s pale, delicate face. It was that look that
had driven him to ignore her protests and whisk her away from the villa.
Evangeline had long since stopped caring about Walter’s actions, but his gentlemanly offer piqued her curiosity, even though she could not shake off her scom.
She slid the menu back across the table. “Thanks for the offer, but you go ahead and order.”
Walter, caught off guard, took the menu and tried to make a suggestion.
“I’ve been here loads of times. The food’s great. Why don’t you just pick a couple of things…”
He was cut off mid–sentence by Evangeline, who said, “Don’t bother, I’m not hungry.”
She meant it. Just being around Walter was enough to kill her appetite.
Lately, she could not figure out what was wrong with her. Ever since she had holed up in the villa, she had been hit with this overwhelming lethargy. She slept as if she could never catch up on rest, which made her lose much of her interest in food.
Evangeline had zero appetite, and Walter, sitting across from her, was not helping. How could she even think of eating?
The waiter gave Walter a look, clearly waiting for him to make up his mind about the menu.
Walter hesitantly picked a few dishes he thought Evangeline might like. Once the waiter took off, he broke the silence. “How do you like the place?”
“It’s nothing special.” Evangeline slumped onto the couch, letting out a huge yawn. She would much rather sleep than have a meal at the moment.
Alas, she knew that was just a pipe dream. She had to figure out Walter’s game. He was not about to let her walk away without answers.
“Out with it. Why’d you pull me out here? What’s the big plan?”

A nasty image flashed through her mind, and she could not help but mock with a sarcastic edge, “Are you telling me you didn’t get your fill that night and now you’re waiting to take me somewhere private for a repeat performance after I’m well–fed?”
