Chapter 47 A Perfect Match

“Over here, Mich!”

Michaela saw Vincent waving to her from a distance as she walked into the restaurant.

Though it was only their first encounter, Michaela already had a good impression of Vincent. Aside from his attitude toward relationships, she found him very likable.

After a slight pause, she walked over and Vincent noticed it immediately when she was close enough. “Why is your face so red, Mich? Are you unwell?”

“No, I’m not!” Subconsciously touching her cheek, Michaela was horrified to discover that it was scorching and scrambled for an excuse. “It’s been a hot couple of days.”

 

“Has it been?”

Vincent raised his eyebrows suspiciously, having just intended to ask the waiter to turn up the air conditioning temperature. He was beginning to question if he was the only one who felt the chills.

 

Finally realizing Michaela had appeared alone, Vincent changed the topic. “Where is Jonathan?”

“Mr. Jonathan is right behind!”

Vincent did not notice the palpable discomfort in Michaela’s eyes.

After Michaela was seated, he immediately summoned the waiter and handed the menu to Michaela. “I’d just arrived as well. Here, have a look and order whatever you like! It’s on me today!”

“Thank you, Vincent!”

Michaela smiled gratefully. After ordering two portions of jalapeño-flavored fondue, she pushed the menu in front of Vincent. “Your turn!”
