Just as Emerald walked out of the studio, she ran into Eugene. Delighted, she hurried over and grabbed onto his arm. “Eugene!” He broke free of her grasp calmly. There was not a hint of disgust on his face, but he did not look happy either.
Oh, what am I doing? She quickly let him go. Eugene looked at Olivia. Good. She doesn’t seem troubled. He turned his attention back to Emerald and asked, “What are you doing here?”
He knew exactly why she was here. Chester had been trying to see him, but Eugene refused to do so. He didn’t want to give in, but these were the people his family was friends with. Refusing them outright would look rude, so he took a step back and stayed away from them. However, he didn’t expect them to seek his girlfriend out. In all honesty, he was a tad bit mad about it. Their daughter had tried to kill my girlfriend more than once, and now they’re asking for her help?
Emerald answered awkwardly, “It’s about Nicole. I’d like to see you, but you’ve been busy, so I came to Miss Maxwell’s fashion studio.” Eugene ignored her explanation. Hel approached Olivia and held her hand. “Are you alright?”
Olivia threw a glance at Emerald before replying, “I’m fine. She just wants me to tell you something. They’re hoping that you can settle this out of court.” “And how do they want to settle it?” he asked.
Emerald answered, “Eugene, we can do anything as long as you don’t sue Nicole.” Eugene then said coolly, “Tell Mr. West to come over. Since my girlfriend is helping you, I can settle this out of court.” She beamed at his response and quickly said, “I’ll call him right now.”
“After Olivia and I have lunch.” He then held Olivia’s hand and led her out of the studio. They went to a nearby couple’s restaurant. Since it was made for couples, everything came in pairs. The air itself smelled like romance. Olivia thought she had just walked through at portal that led her to the shores of the Aegean Sea.
The lighting was blue, the cutlery was blue, and even the chairs and tables were of the same color. The decoration was cute and beautiful while the food looked exquisite and delectable. A piano tune was playing in the background, making the place feel Mediterranean.
“This is beautiful!” Olivia couldn’t help but exclaim. Eugene smiled. “I found this place by chance, so I wanted to bring you here.” A waiter led them to their seats and handed a menu to them.
Olivia took the menu over and instantly fell in love with it upon noticing it. It was also blue in color. How romantic. The food even had unique names that held special meanings behind it. How cute!
Love at First Sight, My Only One, An Oath of Love, Sweet Dreams. Olivia grinned from ear to ear as she read through the menu silently. “I would have no idea what the food is without the illustration.”
Eugene smiled as well. “Creative, isn’t it?” She agreed, “Yeah. Makes you wanna order a lot of food. I’ll have one Love at First Sight and Sweet Dreams.” She then handed the menu to him. Here, your turn.”
He pointed at the menu. “Together Forever, Eternal Companionship, Rose’s Kiss, and Eternity.” After ordering the food, he handed the menu back to the waiter. Olivia was laughing uncontrollably. “If others didn’t know better, they’d have thought we’re talking in code.”
