Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 284

The pizza restaurant was a special delicacy. Its taste and atmosphere were the reasons why many people liked it.

Thriving Pizza Hub had always been a place frequented by Sherri, Natalie, and Edward.

This pizza restaurant offered the best pizza in Athana. This was one of the reasons why they came here repeatedly. There was another important reason. The people who ate there were not pretentious. They come for the pizza. They ate as they wished. Everyone was as forthcoming in the restaurant.

It was a very realistic place to dine at. Unlike in an upscale restaurant, where one had to observe table etiquette and use a standard left-hand fork and right-hand knife. If one were not careful, one would be mocked by others for having the wrong dining habit.

One did not need to pay attention to one’s eating manners. One was at ease at the pizza place.

The three, Sherri, Natalie, and Rose, were people who yearned for freedom and did not like to be restrained at all times.

The first floor of the pizza restaurant was filled with liveliness and clamor. The wait staff were busy shuttling between the tables, serving dishes, refilling water, and providing good service to the patrons.

Sherri was considerate of Trevon’s preference and asked for a private room on the second floor to accommodate the group. It was at the corner of the restaurant, and they would not be disturbed by others.

The ambiance of the private room was excellent. There was a large white round table in the middle. The room was of the right temperature. Everyone had already taken a seat at the table. However, the room was quiet. No one spoke.

The venue today belonged to Team Sherri. Of course, they had to speak first.

Rose looked at Edward periodically across the table. She felt that Sherri’s brother looked a little familiar. It was not because he was part of the Landor family that she found him familiar. Ever since she went overseas, she had not watched the news. It was not that she did not want to watch the news, but she wanted to block out news on Athana, so she stopped

Other than Hackett, there were also Trevon and Frank. She did not know what the other men were like after they grew up.

She thought about it for a long time but could not recall where she had seen Edward. Her beautiful brows furrowed as she tried her best to. Suddenly, she had an inkling and stared fixedly at Edward’s side profile.

Since her early resignation from her job in Sapphire City, Rose traveled everywhere. When she traveled to Country M, something unpleasant happened. She remembered that day when she wanted to go to the beach in Country M. She had done a travel guide with her. Many said it would be a loss if she went to Country M and did not go to the beach to enjoy the night scenery. It would be a great regret in her life. Given Rose’s personality, she did not want to live with any regrets.

However, just as she was about to return, several men with tattooed arms. appeared on the beach.

It was obvious that they had ill intentions. They were sloppy and hooligan-like. They wore pants, shorts, and a sleeveless singlet. It was unknown if they deliberately showed his arms to scare people.

Anyway, in this weather, Rose felt that it was not hot enough to wear

shorts.

She was 100% certain that these people were not good. It was better to stay away from them.

She lowered her gaze to avoid attention. She was not the only one by the riverside. There were many couples, old ladies, old grandpas, single

men…

Noticing that she was about to leave, they tacitly formed a circle around her.

One said, “Beauty, I can tell at a glance that you’re not a local. You’re so good-looking. Accompany us for a chat. We’ll bring you around Country M. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

The other agreed, “Boss is right. Come with us; we’ll bring you around to have fun.”

Rose chose to ignore them. What could she say to these people? She had only taken a few steps when her arm was grabbed.

The tattooed men openly tried to pull her away. There was always a difference in strength between men and women. In addition, there were many of them. She shouted for help in English at the top of her lungs, but no one came to help.

This was something Rose did not expect. She panicked, and her heart jumped to her throat. She did not want to die in a foreign country.
