Chapter 739
Regardless, Alexander was in no hurry. He could take it slow.
Both his car and Charmine's pulled over by the restaurant's entrance.
Charmine got out of the car, not bothering to wait for him as she marched into the restaurant.
However, the staff by the entrance lowered his head politely and said," Pardon, Madam, but only couples can enter the restaurant."
Only couples? She could not enter alone, even with a ticket?
As she was frowning, Alexander walked to her side. "I hope we can enter now?"
"Yes, you may. Please, follow me." The staff led them in politely.
Charmine stopped in her tracks. Entering with Alexander? What if Anthony saw them?
Knowing Anthony, he might...
Alexander walked beside her and said in a half-whisper, "Don't worry, I'll find an excuse to leave after sending you in there."
Since Charmine was already in AL, she could not just leave like that. 1
After a moment of hesitation, she marched ahead. Since Alexander was only sending her in, Anthony would not be able to see them.
The staircase of the underwater restaurant was structured like a spiral. The lower they went, the bluer the sea became with more fishes swimming back and forth. 1
In the lobby, many coral seaweeds were used as decorations. Even the pillars were made of transparent glass, as if this was an underwater palace.
They passed by the lobby and arrived at the dining area.
There were nine areas separated by glass panels. The upper half was a transparent glass while the lower half was of matte glass. One could vaguely see the couples inside each area while retaining their privacy.
Charmine and Alexander sat down in one room. She glanced around and saw that the room to their right happened to be of Anthony and Waverly*s.
They sat across one another with a candle on the table. They were having a candlelight dinner.
Meanwhile, Alexander looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you don’t want me to stay and accompany you? Dining alone in this cold underwater space can get lonely..."
"I've got thick clothes on, I'm not cold," Charmine remained calm as she sat before the table.
Alexander pretended to let out a long and sad sigh, "What a heartless woman...! I'll leave now."
Not staying any longer, Alexander stood up and left.
Seeing his retreating form, Charmine’s eyes darkened.
He was not a completely bad guy, but that did not change the fact he ruined her due to one mission back then. He ruined the beauty of a teenager’s youth. 1
To her, what he did was equivalent to a rapist. She would never treat him with respect after what he did to her back then.
Alas, Alexander returned to the table not long after, much to Charmine’s chagrin.
Alexander explained, "I don't have a choice. The staff outside said that couples must leave at the same time. Restaurant rules."
Charmine was baffled.
How were there so many rules in this restaurant?
"Alright, let's go." She stood up, ready to leave.
