The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 20

Sophia's POV

Nick parked the Porsche in front of a very posh restaurant. I guessed that he would set up our date at such a extravagant restaurant . I tried dressing up accordingly, in order to not look out of place.

Coming out of the car , he came to my side and opened the door for me. I took his hand and walked out. He placed a hand on the small of my back which caused me to shiver a bit but I didn't pull away . I felt safe being close to him . The familiar cologne filled my nostrils.

On entering the restaurant , the manager hurried to us . By the look on his face , he was tensed.

He greeted and led us to a table that was beautifully decorated with flowers and scented candles.

Nick pulled out a chair for me and settled down opposite me. A waitress arrived to take our order.

Yeah , a typical one ! Extremely short skirt and her top giving away too much view of her cleavage.

She stood in front of Nick , pushing her breasts forward .

" Sir , your order ?" She batted her eyelashes at Nick , giving a seductive look.

" What would you like ? " Nick asked me.

" Red wine will be fine." I said to which he nodded.

" Get us your best red wine.Rest , we will order in a while." Nick ordered but I doubt that the girl heard anything because she was busy eyeing Nick like he was some piece of meat . I was getting so mad at her behaviour.

" Anything else I can do for you ?" She asked in a sickening tone and that was it.

" Oh , trust me , you can do a lot of things ." I said in a sickeningly sweet tone, putting my elbows at the table Both Nick and the flirt looked at me.

" Firstly you can learn acknowledging each and every customer on your table whether you like the person or not. Secondly, brush up on your professionalism and concentrate on your job instead of flirting and batting eyelashes at a man who is on a date with his wife." I said , my voice moderate. Some of the other waiters were looking at us.
