In a few minutes, the car pulled over at the driveway of the Blooming Restaurant. Corbin promptly stepped out of the vehicle and opened the door for Eliana.

Wearing a slight frown, Eliana seemed adamant about staying inside.

But Corbin stared at her grimly as if warning her that something terrible would happen if she didn’t get out of the car immediately.

Fearing for the worst, Eliana sighed and finally relented.

She slowly exited the vehicle and walked towards the restaurant reluctantly with each step. Based on her terrified expression, it seemed like a dangerous beast was waiting inside the restaurant to devour her.

“Eliana, wait a minute!”

When she was near the entrance, Corbin suddenly called for her attention.

“Before you go inside, there’s something important I need to tell you. Please be patient and kind towards Mr. Moran today. He’s been depressed since waking up this morning.”

It appeared that Corbin wanted to say something more but stopped on second thought as he looked at Eliana.

Why was Maurice in low spirits today?

Was there something wrong?

Confused at his words, Eliana didn’t say anything to Corbin. Instead, she turned around and walked into the restaurant.

Empty tables and chairs greeted her eyes. After a few seconds, Eliana slowly realized there were no other customers inside. It seemed that Maurice had booked the entire restaurant.
