Roxanne lowered her gaze, recomposed 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 cafe 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 accidental touch, and when he let go of her, he subconsciously clenched his fist.
The cafe Roxanne mentioned was located in the same building as the hotel, and it was the same cafe she saw by chance when they returned to the hotel after getting lost earlier in the afternoon.
She did not invite Lucian to the cafe because it was unique from other eateries in the area, but because the cafe was the only location she could think of at that moment.
They walked into the cafe together. Soon, a waitress came up to them. “Do you have a reservation?”
Roxanne shook her head and glanced around.
It was dinnertime and the peak time for couples to date around in cafes. Thus, the place was almost packed when they arrived.
Fortunately, the cafe occupied a large 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 uncomfortable.
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 her.
The cafe 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 cafe. However, it was her first time seeing a couple like Roxanne and Lucian with striking looks and a unique 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 recommended enthusiastically, “We have the latest couple set menu that is quite the crowd's favorite. Would you like to have that?”
