Chapter 1008
Despite promising Darnell that he would only meet him at the restaurant if there was something important to do.
But Elaine couldn't sit still for a full day at home, and ran out of the house with great enthusiasm.
The restaurant was still the same as when she had come before.
She found a corner with few people to sit, and after ordering a drink, she admired the view of the river outside.
After a while, the milk tea she ordered was delivered.
Elaine said thank you before realizing that the person standing in front of her was Nicolas. She was stunned and a little surprised: "You're back from Switzerland?"
Having said that, she suddenly remembered that Archer had said that Nicolas had been sent to Switzerland by Darnell.
That place where she doesn't know anyone, and now that she's back, Nicolas probably doesn't want to stay there.
Nicolas nodded and smiled, placing another tray of desserts on her table, "This is for Miss James."
Elaine said, "Thank you."
Nicolas' voice lowered a few notches: "Miss James is here to see ......"
Elaine made a shushing gesture at him, "Don't tell him, I'm just bored at home and want to get out."
On the way here, Elaine thought about it, after all, she had only met him yesterday, and it would be bad to bother him all the time.
Nicolas will understand: "Then Miss James sit, if you need anything, just call me."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy."
After Nicolas leaves, Elaine looks out the window again, propping her hand on the table and resting her cheek in a daze.
At that moment, an uncertain female voice came from not far away, "Elaine?"
Elaine looked back, froze, and then a smile appeared on her face.
Natasha Osborne came over and sat in front of her, "Didn't you study in Switzerland, when did you come back?"
"Been back for a few days."
"You are really, why didn't you tell me when you came back."
Elaine spit out her tongue: "I've been doing a lot of things at home lately, and I haven't been going out much, I forgot ......"
Natasha has been her best friend since childhood.
Thanks to her, too, a glance at Darnell made Elaine's heart begin to ripple.
Natasha also ordered a drink and said to Elaine, "But it's better to come early than never, it's my birthday tomorrow night, don't forget it."
Elaine said, "Tomorrow night?"
"Yeah." Natasha looked at her suspiciously, "You didn't forget my birthday, did you?"
"No, no, no, no, I'm just ......" More words are sophomoric, Elaine said, "OK, I'll be there on time tomorrow night."
Natasha laughed: "That's more like it. By the way, how was Switzerland for you? Was it fun there? I've always wanted to travel there."
Elaine said, "It's okay for you to travel, but it's so hard for me to study there alone, it might as well be Riverside City."
"So."
After they talked for a while, Elaine said, "Why did you come here alone?"
Natasha said, "Oh, I have a dinner date with my boyfriend."
Saying that, she looked at the time, "He should be here soon."
Speaking of this, Elaine thought about it and spoke tentatively, "Didn't you say before that ...... you liked ...... the man we met at the restaurant?"
At that, Natasha waved her hand: "I meet too many of these casual likes every day."
Elaine: "......"
"And, right, he looked at that person is quite difficult to contact, cold, a look of rejection of a thousand miles away. Handsome is handsome, but if you fall in love, it is estimated to be the hard to kill, I still like to have my eyes and heart. What's more, people can't see me, the phone is not given."
Elaine rested her head and said to herself, "He doesn't seem to be as ...... good as you make him out to be." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Natasha's eyes locked on her, "What?"
Elaine retracted her thoughts, "No ...... nothing."
Immediately afterwards, Elaine got up and said, "I have to go home."
Natasha pulled her back: "Don't go, my boyfriend will be here soon, I'll introduce you to him."
Elaine said, "Let's do it tomorrow, I won't be a light bulb for you today."
Natasha thought it would be okay, so let's do it tomorrow.
Elaine waved to her, "Bye."
Elaine went out just in time to meet someone coming in from outside.
She looked up and was stunned the second she saw the other person: "It's you."
Brendon was also a bit taken aback: "Miss James?"
During Elaine and Maple's argument yesterday, Brendon briefly stepped in to talk his mother out of it.
But more often than not, they just stay on the side in silence.
And since he can come with his mother to pick her up to go shopping, it means that he is tacitly aware of the engagement with her.
Therefore, Elaine did not have a good attitude towards him, just sidled to the side and then left quickly.
Brendon watched her back and walked thoughtfully into the restaurant.
Natasha waved at him from afar and complained when he came up to him, "What took you so long to get here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Brendon said, "There was a delay on the way."
Natasha saw that he was distracted and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just met an acquaintance."
Natasha added: "Tomorrow for my birthday party, I plan to formally introduce you to my father, what do you think?"
At that, Brendon frowned, "It's too hasty, isn't it?"
"Where is the haste, we have been together for six months, and isn't it just right to take advantage of my birthday party."
"I do think ...... it's not quite right, let's talk about it after a while ......"
Natasha looked at his stammering look and couldn't help but speak, "What's wrong with you this time, weren't you the one who always wanted to see my father before, why are you reluctant now?"
Brendon held her hand: "Natasha, I'm not unwilling, it's just that I'm not ready yet, and I'm also afraid that your father will not be satisfied with me. How about this, tomorrow for your birthday party, you tell your father that I am your friend, and then ask him what he thinks of me, if he thinks well of me, next time I will come to visit you alone, do you think this is okay?"
Natasha thought he had a point.
Half a minute later, she nodded, "Okay then."
Seeing that she agreed, Brendon went further, "I don't think you need to go home for your birthday tomorrow."
Natasha heard what he meant and blushed, "What if my dad asks me to go home with him."
"Just tell your dad that you want to play with your friends a little longer and that you have a birthday, and he'll say yes."
"But ......"
Brendon lowered his voice: "Natasha, didn't you promise me that on the day of your birthday, we ......"
Natasha stammered, "Then ...... let's talk about it tomorrow night and see how it goes ......"
Brendon withdrew his hand in satisfaction, suddenly noticing that there was a water glass next to her.
He asked, "This is?"
Natasha responded, "My friend was just there, you're a step late, let's introduce you tomorrow night."
