You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 549

Around six o'clock in the evening, the drizzle finally settled down.

The crowd started putting their umbrellas away one by one. A man gently wiped the droplets off his umbrella, held his girlfriend's hand and strode forward as they talked and laughed happily.

Sitting by the window in the restaurant, Nina and Vicente looked down from the eighteenth floor and watched the small crowd shuffling around below them.

The melodious piano music floated in the restaurant as the warm light of the candles danced around.

The plate was decorated with roses, which perfectly matched the dessert.

Nina was completely consumed by the delicious seafood spaghetti that she ordered. She took a bite, and the rich flavor instantly filled her mouth, like the sea breeze brushing over her face.

While Vicente cut her steak, she looked up. Much to her surprise she saw that Nina had almost finished her spaghetti. She couldn't help but remind her, "Don't eat too much! Someone is waiting for you after all."

"I can still eat more," Nina answered.

Vicente couldn't fight that point. "I see. Do you want me to order more for you? I don't want you to leave hungry. John will say that I abuse you."

Nina smiled. "No, thanks. I'm almost done."

"Well, maybe you and he won't eat anything later. He's going to leave the day after tomorrow and you know he can't wait to bang you." Vicente winked at her.

"Don't look at me like that." Nina looked at her, annoyed.

Vicente clicked her tongue and looked back at her while mirroring her expression.

As the meal was coming to a close, Vicente motioned for someone to bring a bag over and hand it to Nina. "Open it and have a look."

"Did you get me a gift?" She opened it and saw a black mask and a set of clothes.

After staring at the clothes, she looked up a little confused.

"Don't thank me. You can wear them and go see him later." Vicente leaned back in her chair and picked up the champagne. "Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After their candlelit dinner, Vicente left while Nina went to go change her clothes in the bathroom.

She wore a white bubble sleeve blouse and a lilac slip dress, which gave her a sweet charm.

This was far from how she usually dressed. With the mask on, Nina couldn't even recognize herself.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Vicente. "You're so thoughtful. Thank you. Happy Qixi Festival."

"Poor me. I'll be all alone in the hotel tonight," Vicente replied almost immediately.

Nina sympathetically expressed, "Yes, I feel so sorry for you."

Vicente responded with a blank smile emoji which effectively ended the conversation.

Nina dialed John's number and asked seriously, "John, I'm warning you to stay where you are and tell me your location."

After a short pause, he smiled and said, "I'm going to find you."

"I'm warning you again, don't move."

"At the gate of the Cloud Building."

Nina softened her tone. "Okay wait right there. I'm coming to find you. Try not to wander around and attract all the women around you, okay?"

John looked at all the people standing around. He stared and glanced at their phones as they whispered to each other.

Just standing here, he seemed to have already attracted too much attention.

"I think it's a better idea for me to go to you."

"I told you to wait there. Just wait there." Nina was beginning to lose her patience and pouted in frustration. "You always come to me. Can't I just go to you for once?"

'When we were in Lexingport City, you always came to find me. When I was brought back to C Island, you still came no matter how far you had to travel.

Can't you just let me come see you?

It's my turn now.'

"No matter what, just stand there and don't move." Nina hung up, leaving him no chance to refute.

John was left slightly stunned. She didn't even get to hear his final few words. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

He put the phone in his pocket and went into the Cloud Building. As soon as he entered, he wore a mask that covered half his face.

Instead of keeping a low profile, he attracted every single woman's attention.

"He's so handsome. Is he a celebrity?"

"Could he be a model?"
