Goodbye, My Wretched Love

Chapter 57

Chapter 57 The Appointment

As soon as Claire appeared, Cecil stood up and pulled out a chair for her attentively.

"Please, have a seat."

Claire didn't say anything and just sat down.

Then she put down her handbag.

Cecil then took the seat opposite her and snapped his fingers.

A waiter came over with a menu in his hand.

"I don't know your preference in food, so I didn't order in advance."

He smiled like a gentleman.

"Order whatever you like.The chef of this restaurant is three Michelin-starred.Every dish he makes is really good."

Claire watched his pretense for a while.

Then she opened the menu and glanced at it casually.She turned her head to catch the waiter’s attention and started pointing at the menu.

"This, this, this, and this."

"Okay, ma'am."

The waiter then put away the menu.

"I want to try all the dishes in your restaurant except for those I pointed out just now."

After saying this, Claire looked at Cecil, smiled interestingly, and asked, "Do you mind?"

The corners of Cecil's mouth twitched.And he secretly took a deep breath.

In his heart, he couldn't help but worry.How much would this lunch cost him? Cecil felt distressed.It was as if his wallet would be emptied today.He knew that Claire did it on purpose.

But he still forced himself to put on a relaxed smile and pretended he was too rich to care about money.

"Of course.I don't mind.It's an honor for me to have lunch with you, Miss Williams."

Claire nodded with satisfaction and turned to the waiter again.

The waiter finally recovered from the shock.He smiled calmly and said, "Please wait a moment."

The service in the restaurant was commendable.

Not long after, a food cart full of different dishes was pushed in front of Claire and Cecil.

The small dining table couldn't possibly accommodate all the dishes Claire had ordered.

Thus, after she took a bite or two of each dish, she asked the waiter to take it away.

Then the other dishes would be served.

Indeed, she was literally just trying each dish.

It was as if she only wanted to try how each dish tasted.

Cecil had been smiling the whole time.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

This was definitely the most unforgettable meal he had ever had.

Every time he ate, he felt that he was not eating food but money.

Damn! Never in his entire life had he spent so much money on a woman.

Claire saw that Cecil was gnashing his teeth secretly.

Now that he knew how expensive it was to date her, she was not sure if he would persist or cleverly give up.

Of course, it would be great if he gave up.

After all, she didn't want to continue to be perfunctory to him in the crew.

But if he was persistent, she would rip him off a few more times until he gave up.

After tasting half of the dishes she ordered, Claire put down the cutlery.

She didn't have all the time to accompany him.

There was no reason to finish the meal slowly.

It was almost time to get down to business.

"I'm full.I think it’s time to talk about business, right?"

Claire only came to this appointment because of the "incredible secret" about Sierra that Cecil had mentioned.

Cecil took a sip of his wine and said unhurriedly, "Miss Williams, don't be in such a hurry.You read a love letter in Latin that day, which amazed many people.Latin used to be the official language of the

Roman Empire.But now, not many people know how to speak it.Why were you interested in learning this language, Miss Williams?"

Cecil tried to start a topic, "inadvertently" showing his "rich" knowledge.

But the truth was, he only learned these things from the encyclopedia he had checked yesterday.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Claire clicked her tongue, looking a little impatient.She began to doubt whether the "secret" mentioned by Cecil was only an excuse to ask her out, but in fact, he knew nothing at all.

"Although I'm interested in that secret, I don't mean to force you to tell me about it," Claire said.

"If you can't talk about it, I understand.We're done with lunch, so I'll go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Cecil couldn't help but feel angry.He spent so much on this lunch.But unexpectedly, she still didn't give him enough respect.She was still aloof and kept rejecting him.

He put down his glass with a stern face.

The smile on his face had already disappeared.

"Miss Williams, if you can answer my question, you can immediately hear what you want to know."

Claire raised her eyebrows and motioned for him to ask.Could it be that Cecil asked her out for other purposes besides chasing after her recklessly?
