Chapter 71 - Reaching the Unreachable
After some time chatting at the table, Edna suddenly exclaimed, "Boss, what we've been waiting for
has arrived!"
Her voice was filled with anticipation, causing Alicia to become instantly enthusiastic.
"Kya...Claudina really came?" she asked with a spark of delight in her voice.
Arthur rose from his seat as the door to the room at the end opened, and Claudina stepped inside,
wearing a beautiful blue and white dress and accompanied by two bodyguards.
Claudina strolled gracefully, a vision of poise and majesty, like a princess from a storybook. Every eye
was upon her, for her beauty was simply incomparable. With a brilliant smile, she quickly hastened to
Arthur, coming to a stop before him.
"Thank you for inviting me to this very special dinner, Arthur," she said, her eyes sparkling in
appreciation.
Arthur smiled and nodded. "Have I intruded on your precious time, Claudina?" he asked, a hint of
concern in his voice.
She quickly shook her head. "No, Arthur," she reassured him. "Whenever you ask for me and need me,
I will always come."
The orphanage children stood up and beamed with joy when Claudina arrived.
"Hi Claudina!" they exclaimed, beaming with friendly grins.
"Hi everyone," she replied sweetly, "did you have a good time?"
Claudina exchanged warm greetings with the orphanage children, and then Edna approached her,
smiling and saying, "Claudina! It's so good to see you tonight."
Claudina smiled and stepped forward to embrace her. "Edna, it's so nice to see you again this
evening," she said warmly.
"This is our new partner," Edna introduced, gesturing towards Alicia.
Alicia looked both delighted and anxious as she greeted Claudina. "Hello there... My name is Alicia,"
she said shyly.
Edna added, "She's the one who recorded what happened at your auction and then distributed the
video afterwards."
"Oh really?" Claudina smiled shyly and stepped closer to Alicia. "My name is Claudina. Thank you so
much for your help that night, it's really nice to meet you."
Alicia was visibly awestruck. "Oh my goodness, you look even more gorgeous up close. I've been to
your concerts a few times, but this is the first time I'm talking to you in person."
Claudina noticed Alicia's cute and sweet expression and couldn't help but smile, thinking that Arthur NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
must have some sort of extraordinary charm that made Edna and Alicia want to get closer to him. "You
look lovely too, Alicia," she said kindly.
Claudina then reached out and took Alicia's hand. "Come on," she said softly.
The four of them then proceeded to the dining table in the middle of the room and took their seats.
Alicia sat on Arthur's right while Claudina occupied the seat to his left. The delicious aroma of the food
soon filled the room with a plethora of luxurious dishes to satisfy their appetites.
Arthur stood before the room, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Enjoy the night, everyone!"
he said, his voice ringing out in the room. His words were met with smiles and joyful laughter from all
the people present.
The visual and culinary delights of the evening were truly remarkable; the chefs of Golden Park
Restaurant had outdone themselves, creating a selection of delicious dishes with unique presentations.
Unable to resist the temptation of the delicious dish in front of her, Alicia immediately grabbed some
menus and began to devour them with passion.
Edna, amused by this, quietly chuckled and said, "Sure, Alicia is still growing, so she has to eat a lot."
Alicia lifted her face and, with a slight frown, stared at Edna's chest, asking, "What kind of growth are
you saying here Edna Unnie.... What do you mean, that growth on the chest?"
Claudina then let out a chuckle, delighting in the joy before her. "If we're talking about growth," she
remarked with a smile, "I guess I could use some of that too. So I think I'm going to eat a lot tonight!"
she added, chuckling again.
Alicia then took a spoon and ladled some soup toward Arthur. “Mr. Glitzy Oppa, I know one thing that
can irritate Edna Unnie, because she has teased me," she said with a mischievous smile.
She then offered a spoonful to Arthur. "Take it Oppa, at least I'll be the first girl to do this, right?"
Arthur turned to Alicia, his eyes widening in surprise, and opened his mouth. Alicia fed him the soup,
and he gave her a grateful smile.
“Nice, this meal is very delicious.” He answered quietly.
Alicia then chuckled at Edna, "How is it, Edna Unnie?"
“Yes, sure….” Edna answered with a nod of her head. “I think you should try harder, you know?
Because I've often done that to Mr. Glitzy….” she said, and then covered her lips with the back of her
hand with a chuckle.
“Shhh…” Alicia hissed a little, then took off the small mask covering most of her face.
"I don't feel comfortable eating this delicious soup with a mask like this." she said, and after that, she
began to eat with even more gusto.
After some time had passed, and most of the people in the room had finished their lavish meal, Arthur
smiled with satisfaction after enjoying the sumptuous and delicious meal.
"Arthur," Claudina called softly, and Arthur turned his head in response.
Claudina then wiped Arthur's lips with a cloth to clean the stain there. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help
you tidy this up," she said in a gentle voice.
Arthur became speechless when Claudina's compassionate eyes stared at him, then the girl averted
her eyes and withdrew her hand slowly.
"Thanks, Claudina," he finally said.
Alicia then turned to Edna, who smiled serenely back at her. "Have I been impolite by taking Mr. Glitzy's
right seat from you, Edna Unnie?" she asked kindly.
But Edna replied with a warm smile. "You may sit wherever you feel comfortable, Alicia," she said
kindly.
The sound of laughter and joyful conversation filled the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. The
orphanage children were particularly animated, as they had never experienced such delicious food
before; they had only seen it on television.
Furthermore, they were in the most luxurious restaurant in the city, something they had never even
imagined. "What an amazing night," one of the children exclaimed.
"Boss," Edna softly called out to Arthur.
He glanced over at her to see her still beaming with that warm smile.
"Why don't you play the piano and sing to make the evening all the more enjoyable?" she asked gently.
"Yes, yes, yes," Alicia eagerly added. "I saw the video when you sang with Claudina, Oppa. How about
you do it again tonight?"
"Ehm..." Arthur hesitantly turned to Claudina, seeking approval.
Claudina smiled softly and said, "Of course I won't refuse whenever you ask me to sing a duet with
you, Arthur. However...."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Actually, I wrote a song for you to sing alone...." she paused
again, her expression intense.
Arthur smiled and asked, "Do you want me to sing that song, Claudina?"
Claudina looked into Arthur's face with a warm, gentle expression, then nodded slowly in affirmation.
Arthur confidently declared, "Okay then, show me the song."
Alicia seemed shocked, exclaiming, "What!? Don't tell me that the story is true that Mr. Glitzy Oppa can
actually sing and play the piano live even for the song he just learned?!"
Edna replied to Alicia's words with a chuckle, "I think it's best if you get used to the idea that this big
boss can surprise us in unexpected ways. If one day he can suddenly move a mountain with his hands,
I'm ready for that!"
Alicia nodded quickly in agreement. "Ahahaha... Yes, let us see what other surprises he has in store for
us in the future."
Arthur then accepted the tablet from Claudina and made his way to the small stage, eliciting the
attention of everyone in the room.
