Chapter 138: His beta, Estelle Fayre
"I hope your perspective about your brother changes soon," Karmen said gently as he eased the car to a stop, pulling into the entrance of an upscale restaurant. Pressing the brakes fully, he added, "You should go on inside. I’ll find a parking spot."
Katelyn nodded silently and stepped out of the car. She watched Karmen disappear toward the parking area before turning her attention to the grand revolving door.
Inside, the receptionist immediately recognized the princess. Without hesitation, she quickly informed the manager, who appeared within moments, hurrying to greet Katelyn.
The manager bowed politely. "The VIP section is located on the fifth floor, Your Highness. I will escort you there."
Katelyn smiled lightly. "No need for such formalities. I’m here with someone, so I’ll wait for him."
The manager inclined his head respectfully and stepped aside.
Shortly after, Karmen arrived and gave the manager a brief glance as he stood nearby.
"Shall we head to the fifth floor? The manager said that’s where the VIP area is," Katelyn said warmly.
Together, they approached the elevator. As the doors slid shut behind them, the manager instructed the staff to provide attentive service to the princess, ensuring nothing was lacking during their meal.
Upon reaching the fifth floor, Karmen and Katelyn exited the elevator and selected a quiet table near a floor-to-ceiling window, discreetly tucked away from other diners. Karmen pulled out a chair for Katelyn, who accepted with a grateful smile before settling in.
As she placed her handbag on the chair beside her, a waiter promptly appeared, presenting two menus with a courteous nod before readying his notepad for their orders.
