Diana's face lit up with a smile. "Sure thing, I'll take you there another time!"
For some reason, Yolanda's simple words made Diana feel much more at ease.
It wasn't long before the waiter arrived with a tray. "Excuse me, here's your order of premium Aussorian beef."
Diana, in an uncharacteristically gentle tone, said, "Go ahead, dig in."
Just as she finished speaking, another voice caught her attention. "Ma'am, this bottle of wine is from the gentleman over there."
A young waitress, Olivia, approached with a tray and set an expensive bottle of wine down in front of Diana.
Following Olivia's gaze, Diana looked across the room and saw a balding, heavyset man with a shiny forehead grinning at her while raising his glass. Even though the man was older, his behavior was rather off-putting. The wrinkles on his face contorted into a sleazy, greasy grin.
Diana was wearing a light blue high-fashion suit from Harlowe today, paired with subtle makeup that gave her a youthful and stylish look.
Thanks to her diligent skincare routine, she appeared to be a sophisticated woman in her 30s. Anyone unfamiliar with her actual age might easily mistake her for Yolanda's older sister. She naturally drew some attention wherever she went.
Diana had dealt with her share of unwanted advances in the past. While she usually turned them down, she always remained polite and never came across as harsh. But the man's behavior was so sleazy that it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
