Looking Forward to Her Culinary Skills
A twinge of melancholy coursed through Rose's senses. Feeling worried, Jonathan turned around and was about to check on her. However, she grabbed his wrist and looked at him with anticipation. "What kind of surprise?"
Jonathan was speechless. It seemed like she was right since she hadn't forgotten about this matter.
"I'll tell you when you make it to the finals," he crisply replied before heading into the master bedroom.
He suddenly thought that agreeing to be a judge for Anastasia's invitation was a good idea after all.
Outside the door, Rose's curiosity remained unsatisfied, but this fueled her creativity. She stayed up all night to complete her design.
After uploading the design to the official website at 6:00 AM, she finally went to sleep
At 3:00 PM, she was awakened by her phone's ringtone. Still half-asleep, she could only make out that it was a call from Evan as she picked it up
"Evan..."
"Rose, a friend from Regalia has just arrived in Aquastead and wants to see you. I apologize, but he knows Ms. Flora is in Aquastead. He's a good friend of mine, so I couldn't refuse. Don't worry, he's an upright person. He just wants to see you."
Evan was gently seeking her opinion. Still in a daze, Rose only caught the words "Ms. Flora" and "a friend from Regalia".
She mumbled, "Alright."
"In that case, let's set it for tomorrow at 8:00 PM. I'll come to pick you up."
"Okay," Rose replied.
She was still not quite awake as she hung up the phone. She slept until the next morning. After a full rest, she felt invigorated.
When Jonathan left the house, she was suddenly inspired as she said, "I'll cook dinner tonight. Would you like to try it?"
Jonathan didn't expect her to have good culinary skills. Yet, he couldn't help feeling a faint sense of anticipation throughout the day. At 6:00 PM, he returned to Zenwood Gardens right on time. As soon as he got in the car, he received a call from Zac.
"That person from the Youngs has arrived in Aquastead."
Zac did not need to mention a name; Jonathan knew whom he was referring to.
"So?"
"So? There's nothing more to it."
Zac had originally planned to bring the two of them together and have a drink to clear up any misunderstandings.
However, when he called that guy from the Youngs to make the arrangement, he already had an engagement for the evening.
Thinking back to the friendship of the three of them in the past, Zac felt a bit down.
"Let's go out for a drink. Just the two of us." He invited Jonathan.
"I'm not free," Jonathan replied curtly before hanging up the phone.
What was the point of drinking when he was more looking forward to Rose's culinary skills?
At Zenwood Gardens, Rose was about to prepare the ingredients when she received a call from Evan. She recalled that she had agreed to something in her half-asleep state yesterday. Reluctantly, she texted him an address and changed into a different outfit before leaving. In her haste, she forgot to cancel her plans with Jonathan for the evening.
Just as she got into Evan's car, Jonathan's car entered the underground garage. The two of them passed each other by a hair's breadth.
Rose and Evan made their way to a high-end restaurant in Aquastead.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Inside the restaurant, a few pseudo-socialites who had come to the restaurant for a photo shoot were now whispering to each other while looking at the private room. They were no longer concerned with their cameras. Just a moment ago, a handsome young man entered the private room. One of the socialites recognized him,
"Wow, it's Miles Young from the Young family in Regalia. He's in Aquastead! Do you know who the three most talked-about men are right now? They are Mr. Finch from the Finches, the Visualist Ezra, and Mr. Miles!"
"I heard that a design prodigy in Aquastead also participated in the National Jewelry Design Award organized by the Youngs. Could it be that Mr. Miles comes here because of that design prodigy?"
"It must be true. He has a date... If only I'm good at designing..."
The socialites were full of regret and envy. At the neighboring table, Kelly's attention was caught when she heard the word "design prodigy". She didn't even hear what Nixon was saying.
Nixon, who was annoyed by her inattention, grabbed her hand on the table and redirected her focus.
"Kelly, I want to introduce you to my grandmother and make our relationship public."
Kelly looked back at him disdainfully.
Just then, the people at the neighboring table suddenly exclaimed, "They're inside! Did you see it? A woman went in with a handsome man...
