At noon...
Nathan, Penny, Kylie, Colin and Frida made their way to the new three-Michelin-star restaurant.
It was rumored that the average amount a person spends at the restaurant was around three to four thousand, which shows just how expensive the items were.
Even so, the restaurant was packed to the brim.
Nathan could spot quite a few foreigners amongst the crowd.
He walked to a table by the window and sat down with his companions. Penny and Kylie began to order food from the menu.
Suddenly, a group of people entered through the entrance of the restaurant.
The people taking the lead happened to be Wyatt and Thompson, with Andy, Louis and Fion followed closely behind.
Nathan frowned when he noticed them.
Wyatt was not expecting to see Nathan in the restaurant as well, and his face darkened.
Louis was still rather scared of Nathan, but with Thompson and Wyatt on his side and a free pass from jail, he had long since forgotten the pain of getting beaten up by Nathan.
He even whistled when he saw Nathan, and he walked up to him. "Hi, Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith! It's good to see you again!"
"Louis, you're lucky you got away this time,” Colin huffed. "We won't hesitate to come after you again should you get in trouble with us again!"
Louis rolled his eyes. "Well, I can't just starve myself to death, now can I?"
In other words, he had refused to turn over a new leaf.
Thompson glanced at Nathan before calling out to Louis. "Louis, that's the table we reserved."
"Take a seat, Your Excellency and Mr. Windsor!" Louis said politely.
Soon, Wyatt and his party settled down around the table a stone's throw away from Nathan.
A blonde waitress with blue eyes walked over to take their orders.
An idea popped into Louis' head when they were placing their orders. "Hey, can I trouble you to tell the kitchen to make a special dish for Ms. Smith over there?"
