    Sky Restaurant.


    The moment Eunice linked arms with Arabe and made an entrance, heads turned.


    Her beauty alone was enough to draw the eye, but her status as "Mrs. Griffith" made her shine like a


    star among the crowd.


    The restaurant manager, spotting her arrival, hurried over. "Mrs. Griffith, it''s been too long! We''ve been


    on pins and needles since yourst visit, wracking our brains over what we might''ve done wrong.


    Seeing you here today is such a joy. You''ve finallye back!"


    "Oh, Mr. Morrison, you''re still the king of sweet talk” Eunice said with a chuckle, well ustomed to his


    ttery.


    Mr. Morrisonughed, “Mrs. Griffith, we genuinely value your dining experience. It''s such a rare


    pleasure to host you. I''ll have the ce cleared and redecorated in a jiffy. If you and this youngdy


    could kindly wait a moment..."


    “No need for all that fuss. We''re here to eat, not to cause a scene. Just find us a table with a view,


    Eunice replied with sensible grace.


    “But wouldn''t that be a disservice to you and the youngdy here?" Mr. Morrison seemed troubled.


    “What, you can''t arrange that?" Eunice''s tone suddenly took on an authoritative edge.


    "No, no, not at all! We can arrange it right away. Mrs. Griffith, this way please, Mr. Morrison stammered,


    almost intimidated by hermanding presence, and promptly led the way.


    Eunice turned to Arabe with a softer look and smile, "A window seat offers just as lovely a view of the


    city''s nightscape."


    "I agree; Arabe said, seeing no need for a private area.


    Appreciation and approval flickered in Eunice''s eyes as she regarded her niece.


    Mr. Morrison pulled out chairs for them, standing by respectfully, “Mrs. Griffith, will have the usual, or


    would you like to try some of the new dishes our chefs have been raving about?"


    "Let my niece decide, Eunice tilted her chin up slightly, exuding cool elegance.


    Upon hearing this, Mr. Morrison realized the girl''s identity—she was Bard and Eunice''s niece?


    Oh dear.


    What an oversight!


    "I had no idea we were hosting your niece, this table arrangement is far too casual. I see the


    neighboring tables are almost done. Perhaps I could clear this area and install a ss partition for


    more privacy, so you and your niece can chat freely without any concern."


    “That won''t be necessary; Eunice and Arabe said in unison, clearly not interested in disturbing the


    other diners.


    Mr. Morrison didn''t expect them to be so alike in speech and temperament. He quickly added, "Then I


    must insist on sending over a few extra dishester. We''ve truly neglected your needs today!"


    “Be, see anything you fancy?" Eunice''s gaze fell on Be across from her.


    Her fresh, unpretentious beauty stood out, her face radiantly delicate, while a lotus-like elegance


    seemed to emanate from her.


    Many a well-heeled gentleman in the vicinity couldn''t help but steal nces.


    Indeed, she was a Collins, wless in looks and grace.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
