Eviette intended to invite Veronica to stay for a meal.
Veronica assumed that Eviette must have known that she didn't have lunch, so she offered to eat together. However, she wanted to be considerate of her feelings, hence she deliberately said so.
Regardless of that, she had very little contact with Eviette, so it was difficult for her to determine whether the latter had good or bad intentions.
"Sure, if you've decided to invite me, Miss Robins."
Then, they smiled at each other.
Eviette held her hand and sat down on the couch. "Don't call me 'Miss Robins'. Just call me 'Eviette', and I'll call you Veronica. Is that okay?"
"Sure." Veronica nodded.
For some reason, Veronica was cautious around her despite her friendly gestures.
On the table was a delicious feast that looked appetizing.
Eviette prepared a plate and cutleries for her. "Hurry up and eat. We'll start filming soon. From now on, you can come to my place to rest at noon. Even if you just lie down on the couch for a while, it's better than sitting outside."
"Thank you."
Veronica thanked her without uttering another word.
She found it difficult to get used to the sudden enthusiasm Eviette offered to her.
That night at One Piece Restaurant, she saw Eviette and Matthew seemingly being intimate with each other. She called Matthew 'Matt', while Matthew called her an important person.
All these things made Veronica restless.
