Chapter 17: At The Restaurant

Book:Fall into Him Published:2024-5-28

They went to one of the most famous seafood restaurants owned by the Frost Family. A five-star and one of the known restaurants in the world. Luna later discovered that Sarah and Maximus are some of the richest people in the country. She noticed everything, the way they wear their clothes and dresses, manners with etiquette, and of course, spending money on things and such without thinking if it’s a need or a want.
She then thought if she had lots of money, she won’t suffer or work harder to raise and support herself without putting too much effort into everything. Maybe Shawn’s family might accept her to be their son’s future wife if she was only wealthy and have big businesses like Liza and Maximus.
When they got in, Luna could not avoid admiring the furniture inside the restaurant. She cannot even imagine how expensive those things she sees, especially the plates being served at the table to some rich customers. They were too elegant in her eyes and the designs were too explicit. She can also smell the dishes served at every table. The smell lingers on her nose and it makes her hungrier.
Sarah saw Luna’s reaction. She cannot stop smiling because Luna’s eyes were getting bigger and bigger as they walked towards their reservation room. She thought maybe this is her first time entering such a fancy restaurant.
“If you want the plates, we can ask my brother to give them to us when we get home. Maybe a hundred plates will do to satisfy you, hmm?”, Sarah whispered to Luna’s ears and chuckled.
Luna turned her head and saw Sarah’s face. More like a teasing face. She felt embarrassed then she teased Sarah back. Is her reaction being too obvious to be noticed? Luna thought as she once again looked at the furniture around them.
“What? No. No thanks. I have many plates at home. Besides, those were too beautiful for my eyes and I can’t stop admiring those fancy plates. I think the person who designed those plates was too talented, right Mister Frost?”. Luna looked at Maximus and smiled genuinely while Sarah chuckled.
“Well, my brother is the person who you are talking about being talented for designing those plates,” Sarah said that caused Luna to blush and once again felt embarrassed.
“Is that so…” Luna fixed her hair and slowly put it behind her ears, and both Sarah and Maximus got swayed to her enchanting looks. She looks innocent in their eyes.
Sarah looked at his brother and saw Maximus’s reaction. They have the same reaction because of Luna’s gesture. This is new to her. From the moment she entered the car at the parking lot, she had already noticed that something was different with her brother, and she was right.
A handsome waiter dressed formally guided them to their reservation room, the VIP room. Inside the VIP room had a large balcony, showing the beautiful view of the City. They could see all the tall buildings even from the farther area, mesmerizing lights from every street, and of course the breathtaking sunset. Luna kept admiring the whole restaurant that she even forgot Sarah and Maximus following her. She didn’t blink while gazing at those things.
“It looks like this is her first time seeing the whole City,” Maximus said to his sister after they got into the room and saw how Luna admired the view.
“It’s because you can see the best view of the City here. Even me, I’ll forever be amazed by the beautiful views. Oh, by the way, brother, because she likes the restaurant plates and she thought that you are talented, try giving her one instead” Sarah laughed and winked at her brother.
“If she likes those, I could give her hundreds of expensive plates, more expensive plates than those restaurant plates” Maximus suggested, making a serious reaction.
“No way, a hundred plates are too much. Maybe a thousand will do” Sarah rolled her eyes then laughed, Maximus only smiled slightly towards her sister while looking at Luna.
When they were all settled down, the waiter approached them and smiled at the three, and winked at Luna. Luna felt timid as the waiter kept smiling at her when he asked for their order. When the waiter left, Sarah approached Luna.
“Oh! my Luna, I think the waiter likes you” Sarah teased her and giggled.
Luna did not know what to respond to. She felt embarrassed in front of Maximus and Sarah. She bit her lower lips and tried to lower her head to avoid eye contact. The waiter made her uncomfortable.
“If you like, we can ask for his number too”. Sarah teased her again, unconsciously unaware of the mood.
“N-no! No need. I do not want to. Besides, I do not talk to strangers” she said immediately. She has not moved on with Shawn for asking someone’s contact, referring to Liza.
“But you talk to me. Come on! Do not be s—
“Sarah, stop. Just tell the waiter to make our meals ready” Maximus said in a serious and cold tone. He felt the need to stop her sister because he noticed that Luna was too uncomfortable with what his sister was doing.
“Okay fine, fine. I’ll go”, then she whispered to Luna. “He’s not much of a social person”, then stood up and left.
Sarah was surprised by her brother’s reaction. She didn’t expect him to say that when he never interfered with her before. She was only teasing Luna because she looked so cute when she was embarrassed.
He is getting weirder and weirder. Sarah thought.
After 2 minutes, Sarah came back with the waiters. She walked like a model in the middle with the waiters.
“Sarah?” Maximus reacted. Luna was shocked and laughed.
“Here comes the queen of the earth, Sarah!”, she shouted while walking and posing.
“How gorgeous you are, Sarah”, said Luna, she even clapped her hands to praise Sarah
“Well, thank you Ms. Luna Florence”, then she laughed and hugged Luna.
“Don’t do that next time. It is embarrassing” Maximus said with a serious, shocking face. Sarah chuckled, she just wanted to make Luna laugh since she felt sorry for teasing her a while ago.
