Blue Lake restaurant, a luxurious bistro resting above a human-made lake that made for a picturesque view with its pleasant and peaceful ambiance. The place and food alone already did justice for its outrageous expensive prices of its menu.But amidst the colorful banquet of mouthwatering dishes, no one was in the mood to eat. Sisley nibbled her lower lip again and again. Her hands on her lap clenched and unclenched, grasping her dress so tightly that colors left her fingers. Her eyes were boring a hole at the innocent dishes that were laid before her.Her mood already plummeted when Daniel offered Evangeline a ride. And now, slapping on her face that this was a restaurant that Daniel and Evangeline frequented and these were all Evangeline's favorite dishes.How did she know?Daniel asked her what she liked and Evangeline replied, "The usual."Those simple words were enough to basked Sisley in layers and layers of thick jealousy and resentment that she didn't even notice that Daniel o

Eric didn't know what to do nor say when he looked at Evangeline.Throughout the whole ride, she remained quiet while gripping his waist. She was pressing her forehead against his back like she didn't want anyone to see her current state.Even after they arrived at her unit, she remained silent with an unreadable face which made him at a lost on what to do nor say.Should I comfort her?But he didn't even know if she was sad.Nonetheless, he knew that something must have happened for her to act this way. Even though her face was the epitome of calmness, she appeared to be on the verge of crying."Is everything . . . alright?" he asked.He didn't dare step inside her unit without her permission. He remained standing outside, in front of her door while she continued to grip his shirt, not letting him go.Scratching the back of his head, he eyed the quiet girl whose head was lowered, unable to digest what was going on with her.. . .. . .After a long unbearable silence, he decided it w

Imperial, Robert Krisnov's MansionInside the mansion, everyone was busy these past few days all for the sake of Angel Lin's twentieth birthday.There were just so many things to take care of!The venue, which host the celebration must be perfect. To the food, which would be catered by not one, but five Michelin awardee restaurants with an Edwardian style meal plan served for classic Royals in Downtown Abbey. From the first course of Hors d'Oeuvre down to the very last course of fruits and cheese, must all be perfect!Most importantly, the meal must flow in one harmonious song. A disjointed meal is viewed as a poor reflection of the house and improper management of staffs.Thus, all the restaurants involved were very strict, training their staffs months before the celebration, specifically for this event. They even drafted contracts that if something goes wrong with the food and drinks, the restaurants would pay repercussions.While another world-renowned famous pastry and tea house c

Five days later"My parents called last night."Maintaining her practice perfect smile, Evangeline watched the handsome man sitting opposite her with a raised brow."So you called me in the middle of the night to report that?" she said, amused with an 'I don't care' look plastered on her face.Daniel sighed, brushing his hand through his hair before he continued."They . . . They found me . . . a fiancée . . ."The spoon in Evangeline's hand, which was stirring her tea, paused briefly, though her eyes held no emotions while her face didn't give anything away."Congratulations!" She beamed somewhat sarcastically, continuing to stir her tea, ending the conversation before it even began.They were currently in Snow Café, where she was waiting for Eric to finish his night shift when Daniel called, asking for her to meet him.Looking at the uncaring woman sitting opposite him, Daniel didn't know how to proceed.Frankly, when his parents called, he thought it was to remind him to go home fo

Moments later, Evangeline stood when she saw it was time for Eric's night work to end. Daniel was accompanying her throughout the night, even until two in the morning. It was a good thing that it was a Friday, and they didn't have class during weekends.Daniel peered at Evangeline before he glanced towards the construction site, watching the workers walking out of the place.He stood when Evangeline bolted downstairs and out of the café. Stunned for a moment, his lips quirked in a helpless smile.She must like him a lot.It was a no brainer.Evangeline had fallen for Eric — hard.Else, why would she wait for him until two in the morning?Only, Evangeline hadn't realized how far she crossed that path of no return.----Evangeline bolted out of the café, and when she arrived on the sidewalk, she fixed herself. Compared to the woman who ran a marathon, the woman now was composed and refined as she flipped her hair. Raising her head high, she crossed her arms, standing beside where Eric's
