Before starting the car, Kevin raised his hand and gently touched the corner of his mouth. There was a faint smile in his cold eyes. Karen had finally looked a little like the way she did three years ago.
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot and quickly merged with the busy traffic in the city, but inside the car, the atmosphere was so quiet that even their breathing sounded very loud.
Karen sat upright and looked out of the window. She did not dare to look at Kevin properly, but still, she could not help but peek at him from time to time.
He was very serious when driving and looked steadily forward as if nothing had happened just now.
She pursed her lips and snorted in her heart—this cold-hearted man!
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the lobby of a skyscraper.
Kevin handed the car keys to the valet and walked into the lobby with Karen.
The skyscraper was 69 floors high. When it had been completed, it was the tallest building in Chatterton, and it was also the landmark building of Chatterton for many years.
The skyscraper was located in the busy commercial center of Chatterton. There were many people, a lot of cars, and many buildings in this area. It was famous for its scenic rotating restaurant which was located on the top floor.
Many tourists would buy entrance tickets to come and sit at the restaurant, ordering a cup of coffee and sitting quietly to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Port Temsin across the Chattertown River.
Karen had come here before when she first came to Chatterton with Faye. It already cost 80 dollars just to enter the building, and the price of meals at the sightseeing area in the restaurant were unfathomable.
However, even though it was expensive, there were still endless customers visiting every day, they never stopped coming.
Today, Karen was surprised. It was not yet eight o'clock in the evening, but when she waited for the elevator, she didn't see anyone else around.
While she was thinking, her hand was grabbed by a big warm hand again. Kevin took her hand into the VIP elevator and went straight to the top floor.
His hand was really warm, or perhaps her hand was really cold. When he held hers this way, Karen was very fond of the warmth he was giving her.
She looked up at him and smiled, "Kevin, are you bringing me to dinner here?"
He faced the elevator door, standing straight. Just when Karen thought he would not answer, she heard him say, "Hmm."
It was just a slight word "Hm", but Karen knew it was enough. He was a man with a few words, and it was not the first day she knew this fact.
Soon, the elevator reached the top floor. It was always crowded, but today it seemed very deserted. Except for the staff, there was no one else around.
The restaurant was covered in roses of various colors, with a table placed in the middle. The roses on the table arranged in heart-shapes, the setting was very dreamy, bathed in warm light.
"Mr. Kyle, Mrs. Kyle, this way please!" A beautiful waitress came up and said politely, but she did not look at Karen at all.
The waitress's eyes were almost glued on to Kevin as if she didn't care about Karen's presence at all.
Karen thought in her heart, "When a woman looks good, she is dangerous. When a man looks good, he is a devil! This woman is looking at him more crudely than when a man checks out a beautiful woman."
Kevin suddenly stopped and looked coldly at the waitress. "Ask your manager to come over."
The waitress smiled and said, "Mr. Kyle, I am the person in charge of this restaurant."
He raised his eyebrows and said darkly, "It's time to change the person in charge of this restaurant."
The waitress didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, but she remained professional. She forced herself to smile and said, "Mr. Kyle, Mrs. Kyle, please come in. I'll ask for other staff to come over."
After sitting down, Karen couldn't help but laugh.
Kevin looked at her strangely. "What's so funny?"
