Chapter 72: His First Love
On the following day, they left Paris for Italy. They opted to travel via train. It was Erik’s plan to have his team experience the train ride of 460 kilometers per hour to get inspiration for the exhilarating rides that they will design for the Galaxy Amusement Park.
Aryana tried hard to capture the scenery from Paris to Italy but what she got was just a blur. They arrived in the Province of Pisa in the afternoon and after resting for two hours, they headed for an early dinner at a famous restaurant with an unobstructed view of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. She took a selfie and posted it on her social media account.
When the waiter passed them the menu, Aryana let Erik order for her. "Please order for me, Boss!" Aryana teased him.
Erik ordered the famous dishes in Tuscany and a tomato soup on bread. Marlon and the engineers ordered by themselves. The group was enjoying their dinner and having a casual conversation regarding the train trip.
Halfway through their meal, a tall slender woman passed by their table. She looked at Erik and their gazes locked.
Aryana did not see the woman but she saw Erik freeze and a strange expression appeared on his face. He was in a daze.
"What’s wrong Boss?" Aryana asked.
Erik came back to his senses. "Excuse me, I just need to go to the restroom." He stood and left hurriedly following the direction where the tall slender woman went.
Aryana threw a questioning look at Marlon. He just shrugged his shoulders. He also did not see the woman because his seat was facing Erik.
Erik increased his strides. The woman exited the restaurant using the back door. He finally caught up with her.
"Cassie!" He called, his voice full of emotions. The woman looked back at him.
