The waiter had a complicated expression when the three of of you going to dine here?”
“No.” Halston shook his head. “Two.”
The waiter glanced at Flossie and Seraphina before saying awkwardly, “But there are three of you.”
“One is here to entertain us, so she’s not included.” Halston smirked. Though it sounded absurd, it seemed normal coming from a rich and dignified man like him.
The waiter then led them to their table.
All the tables in the private rooms only came with two seats, so Flossie had no idea what to do.
Where was she supposed to sit?
Flossie looked around and did not notice any extra chairs, so she said to the waiter beside her, “Mister, can you get me a chair?”
“Umm, about that…” He looked like he was in a difficult situation.
“What’s wrong? I’m a guest, but I don’t have a chair. So, I asked you to get a chair for me. Is it that hard?” Flossie glared at him.
The waiter wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said carefully, “I’m sorry. Madam, but it’s a table for two. If we give you another chair, it’ll affect the atmosphere in the restaurant as well as the dining experience.”
“Are you kidding me?* Flossie was speechless. What kind of restaurant was this?
“Of course he’s being serious.” Seraphina sat across from Halston and said sarcastically, “It’s a table for two, so obviously they don’t have extra chairs. If I was in your shoes, I’d be sensible enough to go to another restaurant instead of making things difficult for the waiter.”
Flossie was already annoyed, and now, Seraphina had pushed her patience past its limit.
“You’re right-it doesn’t make sense to have a third person here since it’s a table for two. You have to be sensible too, so get up!” Flossie barked at Seraphina, and grabbed her chair.
“W-What do you mean? This seat is mine! Why should I leave?” Seraphina did not expect Flossie to fight back, and was furious when Flossie tried to snatch her seat.
“Who told you this seat is yours? Does it have your name on it?” Flossie asked rudely.
“Halston let me sit here. I’m his fiancee, so of course this seat is mine!”
Seraphina protested indignantly.
“Halston let you sit here? Does this chair have Halston’s name on it then?” Flossie raised an eyebrow.
“Umm, well…” Seraphina couldn’t argue with that.
“Get up!” Flossie finally lost her patience and grabbed Seraphina’s shoulders, nudging her up from the chair.
“Flossie, how dare you?” Seraphina stumbled away from the chair, then swung around to glare at Flossie angrily. Flossie flashed her a triumphant smirk as she sat in the chair comfortably.
Flossie then proceeded to ignore Seraphina as she scanned the menu and started ordering dishes. “This looks nice. Oh, this looks nice too. And this looks pretty good. Bring me all of these!”
She had ordered almost all the dishes on the menu.
After that, she closed the menu with satisfaction. Lifting her chin, she said to Halston sweetly, “Master Guajardo, is there anything else you would like to eat? After all, you’re paying, so order whatever you want!”
Halston pursed his lips, amused by Flossie. He looked down to hide his smile and casually flipped through the menu. “Miss Ellsworth, you might be scrawny, but you seem to have a good appetite… I really don’t know where the food goes.”
“What did you say? Scrawny?” Flossie felt her face turn red in shame, and sat up straighter indignantly, ‘TH have you know that my figure is extremely attractive!”
Inwardly, Flossie was thinking, ‘You know better than anyone how good my figure is-stop lying!’
Halston slowly looked up and glanced at her indifferently before saying, “But you’re still not pretty enough.”
Flossie was flabbergasted. Unable to accept his words, she immediately snarled, “Excuse me? I bet you just want a woman with big boobs, right?!
You’re nothing but a lecherous pervert!”
Seraphina watched Halston and Flossie bicker with each other like an old couple, and clenched her fists.
“Halston, it seems a little unnecessary for me to stand here since you’re having such a nice chat with Miss Ellsworth. Why don’t I leave you both to your meal? I’ll go back to the hotel,” Seraphina said airily, and turned to leave.
However, Flossie caught her wrist and smiled as she said seriously, “It’s not unnecessary at all—you being here is actually very important. You can cut our steaks, pour wine for us, and even serve us dishes.”
“Don’t test me, Flossie! You’re the one who should be doing these things!” Seraphina hissed and jerked her hand away.
“Who said that I should do those things?” Flossie raised an eyebrow nonchalantly.
“Halston!” Seraphina snapped.
“Who is Halston? Why should I obey him?” Flossie asked innocently.
“You!” Seraphina’s face turned as red as a tomato, and looked like she was about to explode.
When Halston realised that the two were coming close to killing each other, he said to Seraphina amiably, “Seraphina, you can come and sit near me.”
Seraphina’s scowl instantly disappeared, and a sugary smile replaced it. “I knew you wouldn’t ignore me, Halston.”
She smugly clung to Halston as she sat on his lap. They looked like a well-suited couple who were about to get married.
Flossie bowed her head and sipped her water gloomily.
Soon, the waiter served the dishes.
The food did not taste as strong as the fried spider they had that day. This time, the dishes looked and tasted highly sophisticated.
However, Flossie found that she had lost her appetite, and just picked at her food silently.
“Halston, I want to eat the steak. Cut it up for me, please? I want small pieces because I can’t eat much.” Seraphina leaned back against Halston’s chest coquettishly and delicately pointed at the steak on the table. Anyone who heard her would feel like throwing up. Flossie shot them a vicious glare, then picked up a fork and knife and cut her steak noisily.
Sometimes, she admired women like Seraphina and Jessanna— acting coy and being flirtatious came naturally to them. She always found it hard to do that. Even when she went on a short honeymoon with Halston, she couldn’t do it.
Maybe it was because she wasn’t certain about his feelings, so she couldn’t give herself to him wholeheartedly.
After an hour which felt like an eternity, they finally finished their dinner.
Although Halston did not make things difficult for Flossie, she still felt sad and dispirited. Maybe it was because she had to watch them being lovey-dovey with each other.
After Halston paid for the dinner, he turned to leave with Seraphina.
Flossie could no longer keep silent, and stood before them. “Halston, are you… just going to leave like that?”
“Why not? Do you want to go with us?” Halston raised an eyebrow and smirked arrogantly.
“No, I ate with you and was forced to watch your disgusting PDA, so you should tell me what I want to know now, right?”
“Sure.” After a brief silence, he said, “Go rest first… I’ll tell you everything tomorrow morning.”
“Why tomorrow morning?” Flossie asked anxiously, wondering if he would decide not to tell her.
