Chapter 229


    Chapter 229 Roxanne lowered her gaze, rposed herself, and suppressed her anger from earlier.


    When she looked up at him again, she gave him an indifferent look. “I don’t know what I can offer to


    compensate you. I remember seeing a café that looks great when I walked around the area this


    afternoon. Mr. Farwell, what do you say if I buy you a cup of coffee?”“I’m okay with that.”Then he slowly


    let go of her wrist.When he loosened his grip around her wrist, his fingers mindlessly grazed the soft


    skin on her wrist. Lucian’s eyes darkened a little at the idental touch, and when he let go of her, he


    subconsciously clenched his fist. The café Roxanne mentioned was located in the same building as the


    hotel, and it was the same café she saw by chance when they returned to the hotel after getting lost


    earlier in the afternoon.She did not invite Lucian to the café because it was unique from other eateries


    in the area, but because the café was the only location she could think of at that moment.They walked


    into the café together. Soon, a waitress came up to them. “Do you have a reservation?”Roxanne shook


    her head and nced around.It was dinnertime and the peak time for couples to date around in cafés.


    Thus, the ce was almost packed when they arrived.Fortunately, the café upied arge area but


    did not set up too many tables inside, giving the customers enough space and privacy from other tables


    and not to the extent of feeling ufortable.Right then, Roxanne spotted some customers leaving a


    table near the window, so she walked in that direction.The waitress quickly followed behind. Her eyes lit


    up as she watched them walk ahead of herThe café was considered high-end in Bellridge, and the


    customers were mainly the rich and celebrities.The waitress had seen many customers while working


    in this café. However, it was her first time seeing a couple like Roxanne and Lucian with striking looks


    and aunique presence.After following them to the table near the window, the waitress had someone


    clear the table first before giving them a menu. Then, she rmended enthusiastically, “We have the


    latest couple set menu that is quite the crowd’s favorite. Would you like to have that?”Hearing that,


    Roxanne and Lucian were startled. Lucian looked at Roxanne, who was sitting across from him,


    expectantly.He noticed that Roxanne had stopped flipping the menu for a brief moment. She looked at


    the waitress before smiling faintly. “No, thanks. We’re not a couple.” .After saying that, she lowered her


    head again and browsed the menu.In the end, she only ordered what she wanted and handed the


    menu to Lucian. “Mr. Farwell, order whatever you want. There’s no need to be polite with me. I can still


    afford to buy you a cup of coffee.”Lucian was still upset that she denied they were a couple to the


    waitress, so he did not respond to what she told him. Instead, he said to the waitress, “I’ll have


    thesame.”The waitress nodded in response and walked away with the menu.She stood in the corner


    while sneaking nces at them sitting by the


    window. Although she denied being a couple with him, I must say their looks and vibes match each oth


    er so well! They‘re like the perfect match! Later, when she sent drinks to their table, the waitress looked


    calm on the surface, but she was losing her mind on the


    inside. They look even better up close! Roxanne’s makeup was light enough to enhance her delicate


    features. She looked so beautiful that the waitress thought she was a celebrity at first. Lucian, on the


    other hand, had sharp features and a tall build, and he exuded the aura of an authoritative CEO. The


    waitress could not help but picture them as a perfect match made in heaven.Of course, Roxanne was


    unaware of what the waitress was thinking about her andLucian.She felt slightly unwell as the alcohol


    had finally started kicking in. Her reactions toalcohol always came slower than others.However, since


    she had asked Lucian out for a cup of coffee, she felt it wasinappropriate for her to leave with the


    excuse of her feeling unwell. That would onlygive Lucian another reason to mock her.With this in mind,


    Roxanne suppressed the difort inside her and took a sip ofher coffee, trying to cancel out the


    feeling of being drunk.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
