Chapter 24: Candlelight Dinner
Blanche Capra had no way of knowing what the people on the set were talking about, she was only focused on dealing with York Charlie right now.
“I know all about what just happened on the set. If you ask me, what’s the point of this? Since you’re working so hard here and being given a hard time you might as well come over to me and be my assistant. If you become my personal assistant I can guarantee that the people around me will definitely not treat you like this. How about that?”
York Charlie saw that Blanche Capra did not take into account his behaviour on the set just now, so he encouraged Blanche Capra again with some spirit, he drove the car while still carefully checking Blanche Capra with his afterglow.
“Not really. I like modelling, it’s my ambition. There’s no way I’m going to go to you as an assistant.” Blanche Capra refused without hesitation.
But just now York Charlie had helped her after all, and she didn’t want to make the atmosphere so borderline, so she turned her head somewhat unnaturally and changed the topic, “I’m hungry, didn’t you just say that you’ve booked a restaurant? Where are we going to eat now?”
York Charlie in fact also expected Blanche Capra will refuse, now she is afraid of his embarrassment, she changed the topic, his heart only happy, along with her words on the next to pick up: “This shop in ayton road, is a newly opened western restaurant. My friend went inside to eat once, think it’s not bad on the introduction to me ….”
ayton road, western restaurant.
It was only when Blanche Capra saw the candlelit dinner that she finally believed York Charlie’s comment on set that he had gone over to pick himself up on purpose.
Blanche Capra looked at York Charlie with a teasing raised eyebrow: no explanation?
York Charlie lied without a blush: “Oh, the restaurant is having an event today. There’s a discount if you order a candlelit dinner.”
“Yeah?” Blanche Capra draws out her voice.
York Charlie knew it would be a bad idea to continue on this topic, so he walked over and took the initiative to help Blanche Capra pull out the chair, “Didn’t you already get hungry on the way? Come on sit down and let’s order.”
Blanche Capra’s intention wasn’t to embarrass him, or else she would have just flipped out on the road, and she sat down obediently. Casually summoned the waiter. Carelessly ordered a few dishes.
York Charlie stopped Blanche Capra’s attempt to order a drink and ordered a bottle of ’82 as usual.
After ordering, Blanche Capra had time to look around. No wonder this new shop was doing so well.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Located on the famous ayton road and close to the river, York Charlie’s tables were chosen to Blanche Capra’s liking.
Their table is near the river, but in a small box. The semi-hollowed out barriers give the table an antique feel. It gave people a sense of being there, as it allowed them not to be overly exposed to the river breeze but also to enjoy the beautiful view of the river and the water.
York Charlie looked at Blanche Capra’s slightly upturned corners of her lips to know that she was also very satisfied with this place, and it was not a waste of his efforts.
“Don’t just look at the scenery, eat your food. The steak here is very famous, it is a famous signature dish made by the top culinary chef of the French high school at a very high cost, so try it to see if it suits your appetite.”
Despite the large number of guests in the evening, the restaurant’s serving speed was still very good, and Blanche Capra’s impression of the restaurant was already favourable even before she had tasted the food.
“How’s it? Does it taste okay?”
York Charlie helped Blanche Capra cut the steak into small pieces, and had to feed it to Blanche Capra attentively again. Just now the steak cutting thing York Charlie want to grab to do, Blanche Capra did not too much to stop, but feeding this kind of thing is firmly impossible.
Not to mention that because she was outside now, the whole box was hollowed out, so people could see inside from the outside, even if the box was fully closed now, she would not allow this kind of thing to happen: they weren’t a couple, so what was the point of this.
So she resolutely took over the knife and fork for her own sandwich. But even so, she blushed when York Charlie asked how the steak tasted.
Probably because of the atmosphere of this place, Blanche Capra thought evasively.
“Mmm~ It sure tastes good.” Blanche Capra had already given this restaurant a perfect score in her heart, and had decided to come back more often in the future.
“Yes? I’ll try it.” While Blanche Capra was still sighing, York Charlie directly ate the beef she had just taken a bite of right into Blanche Capra’s hand!
“Mmm, it sure tastes good.” York Charlie sighed the exact same words as Blanche Capra after swallowing the beef.
Blanche Capra’s face was red at this point almost as if it was on fire.
“You, how could you eat my steak?” She didn’t know if it was because she was so ashamed or because she was so angry that she actually stuttered in a rare sentence.
York Charlie, however, acted as if he didn’t understand the meaning of her words: “So petty ah, then you also eat to see my good.” Said he really cut a piece of his own steak made to send Blanche Capra in front of the appearance.
Blanche Capra at this time again do not know he is intentional is really a fool, she also did not speak, only straight to take the eyes to glare at York Charlie. cause York Charlie laughed.
Since each other have understood such a small game, Blanche Capra simply also ignore him, self-concerned about the cut beef meal. But the upturned corners of his mouth could not be fooled: it was actually quite pleasant to be this childish once in a while!
“York, didn’t you tell me that you had to work late at night? How come you appeared here?” A sharp female voice suddenly broke the cosy atmosphere between Blanche Capra and York Charlie. “Who is she? Why are you accompanying such a woman to eat in such a public place?”
Blanche Capra was just surprised, but when she saw the real person she guessed who the woman who was talking was based on her age. But even that didn’t stop her brow from contracting and furrowing. As the saying goes:- “Thunder doesn’t even strike a diner.” Anyone who was suddenly interrupted in the middle of their meal would feel unhappy. Not to mention the person who had just met him and was giving him a hard time!
York Charlie also felt shocked after only hearing the familiar voice, “Mum? Why are you here?”
