Chapter 983 - 015 Enemies on a Narrow Road_6
The two arrived at the Emperory western restaurant, and Avery Graham just let Bernard Taylor order the meal without any objections.
"Would you like some music?" Bernard asked. Since they were already here, it was only right to fully enjoy the experience.
"Sure." Today she was treating, but since Bernard wanted to listen to music, she would just foot the bill, nodding generously. Yet deep down, she truly felt the pinch.
Oh, she really wanted to say that she couldn’t compare with the Rich Second Generation Bernard—she could only pray their second restaurant would boom in business because, with Bernard’s spending habits, she honestly couldn’t afford it.
Bernard watched her subtle facial expressions and smiled. With a snap of his fingers, a violinist approached. Bernard requested a piece, and although Avery didn’t have much of a musical sense, she found the music to be very pleasant. Before she knew it, she was completely immersed.
Her mind was blank; she let go for a moment. After the piece finished and Bernard tipped the musician, he left.
It took a while for Avery’s mind to return from its blank state, but she felt much more relaxed. Looking at Bernard, who was smiling at her, she understood why he made her listen to a piece of music first.
This man, he always touched her heart with these thoughtful details.
As the music ended, their meal arrived. Avery’s was the classic Black Pepper Steak with pasta, while Bernard had ordered charcoal-grilled steak with pasta and a thick soup. Since the portions in this restaurant were generous, no appetizers were offered.
Just as they were about to concentrate on their food, Avery suddenly saw two people entering through the door. She frowned—had Jollie Auclair really given up on taking the college entrance exams and just stayed in G City?
She’d heard her talk about retaking the exams over and over to get into G University. Regardless of Jollie’s ulterior motives, at least her persistence was commendable. But now, Avery felt like the girl was becoming more and more degenerate.
