That evening, Nathan went to the Windsor residence as usual for dinner.
He didn't have a choice. It was lonely to eat alone as his family was not in Brimmopolis.
Furthermore, Hansel and his wife kept inviting Nathan to have meals with them. Therefore, Nathan would have dinner with them whenever he was not too busy.
After dinner, Nathan stayed to chat with Hansel.
Suddenly, there was a new visitor. It was Cheryl, daughter of the Minister of Health.
It turned out that Cheryl used to learn calligraphy from Camilla, and she came here to see her.
Hansel and Camilla were happy to see Cheryl as they loved having visitors to their home.
Meanwhile, Nathan was stunned to see Cheryl.
On the other hand, Cheryl was happy to find him here.
Soon, Nathan excused himself to leave with Colin.
However, he had just stepped out of Windsor residence when he heard someone walking in high heel shoes behind him. It turned out that Cheryl
had rushed after him.
"Nathan, wait!" she shouted.
Nathan paused his step. He turned to Cheryl with a smile and said, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Cheryl replied unhappily, "Why did you leave upon seeing me? Are you trying to avoid me?"
Nathan responded with a smile, "That's not true."
Cheryl said, "It had better not be true. After all, aren't we friends?"
In actuality, Cheryl had a crush on Nathan while they were students. She had confessed her feelings to Nathan, but he rejected her.
After that, they did not meet for many years. However, Cheryl still seemed to harbor feelings for him.
That was why Nathan kept trying to maintain a distance between them.
Now, hearing Cheryl, it seemed she truly wanted to be friends even though he rejected her love confession.
Therefore, Nathan calmed down slightly and smiled. "Your father is Mr. Windsor's long-time subordinate, and I am Mr. Windsor's apprentice. Furthermore, I get along with your father and am his friend. Naturally, I am your friend too."
Cheryl nodded. "That's good to hear. Since we are friends, please let me buy you dinner to celebrate our friendship."
Nathan was exasperated. "I already had dinner with Mr. Windsor!"
Cheryl replied, "Can't you just keep me company?"
She cornered him with her words.
Therefore, Nathan had no choice but to agree.
Soon, Nathan and Collin went into Cheryl's car and headed to the nearby del Restaurant.
It was one of the most high-end restaurants in Brimmopolis.
This place was different from Indigo Palace.
Although Indigo Palace was famous, anyone with money could make reservations and have a meal there.
On the other hand, del Restaurant only admitted people from elite social circles.
