Charlotte had only rested for a while when the phone beside her rang. She woke up and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Are you okay?" Anne's voice rang out from the other side. She sounded very anxious. "I just finished moving in with Braden, and I saw your news on the Internet. What's going on?"
"It's over already." Charlotte didn't feel like explaining too much. She just wanted to have a good rest.
Anne was her best friend and the person who knew her best. So, she immediately stopped asking and just said, "I'll give you the address later. You can come with Mr. Fuller. Didn't you say that you wanted to bring someone to meet me? You should bring them over too."
The person she said she wanted to bring was Zoe. But such a big thing happened today, so it was impossible for Zoe to leave the company. Judging from this point, she and Peter probably had something else to work on. Charlotte answered, "All right. Send me the address and time."
"Okay."
After the call ended, Charlotte directly called Zoe
without even wanting to open her eyes.
Zoe was a little excited when she heard that she was going to meet Anne. After all, she had only heard about her and never seen her before. Besides, she was honestly too tired to prepare dinner today. So without asking Peter, Zoe agreed to this matter.
When she told Peter about it, Peter was surprised. "Today?"
"Do you have something else to do?" Zoe asked, "If so, I'll tell Ms. Emerson that we're not going anymore."
Peter really didn't have other things to do. It was just that today was his birthday. However, very few people knew about it. He didn't tell Zoe about it either. The reason was that he didn't want her to take this matter too seriously and then mess up her routine.
Peter thought for a while and shook his head. "There's nothing else. Let's go together. I don't know which restaurant they'll choose, but I feel like eating steak today."
"Ms. Emerson and her friend... would probably choose a normal hotel, right?" Zoe guessed.
The act of ordering a table of food at the hotel and then collecting the money according to the table was the simplest way to treat people to a meal.
Peter was slightly disappointed when he heard that but quickly replied with a smile, "The hotel isn't bad either."
He didn't actually think that hotels were good, but he trusted the tastes of Charlotte and Shane.
However.
The address that Charlotte gave them was actually a small restaurant that the two had never heard of. The reason why they called it a small restaurant was that the restaurant had a unique name—In the Black Forest.
This kind of name wasn't mainstream, and it was normally the name of some hipster cafe, so...
Perhaps they did serve steaks or something like that.
The appointed time soon arrived. Charlotte and Shane were the first to arrive at In the Black Forest.
The restaurant was built of black glass. Other than the black glass around them, there were only matte black columns. There was no other decoration except for the two ceiling lights near the front door. This minimalistic and odd decoration sent chills down people's spines.
The main reason was that these lights could only illuminate a small part of its shape, and the rest of it was completely enveloped in darkness.
Humans, who were shrouded in darkness...
Charlotte always felt that the things people hide were either extremely dangerous or extremely disgusting.
"Let's go in?" Shane looked at the person beside him.
Charlotte's leg became slightly wobbly, her stomach quivering.
She had always been great at dealing with companies that picked on her in the past. But in the face of these things that might have to do with gods and ghosts, she was not doing well at all.
"Okay..." her lips trembled as she whispered.
The two of them entered the restaurant.
The scenery inside was slightly better, but the color scheme was mainly dark colors. Black and gray occupied the entire space. Countless feathershaped lights seemed to float in the air, and the seats were Japanese tatamis. Therefore, they could tell that it was a Japanese restaurant.
A Japanese restaurant that wasn't decorated according to the Japanese style?
Charlotte was surprised too. After she reported Anne's name, the waiter led the two of them into a private room.
