Chapter 45
Charlie was very happy to hear his wife say so. 1
It seemed that he had picked the best venue for their wedding anniversary. She must be so thrilled and happy on that day! 1
They walked into the Sky Garden and sat down in the reserved seats. Soon, Loreen arrived.
"Claire!" i
"Loreen!"
The two best friends hugged each other, happiness flooding their expressions.
Then, they reminisced about their past excitedly while holding hands. It took them a while until they finally calmed down from the excitement.
Loreen chided, "Claire, you’re such a spendthrift. You actually booked the Sky Garden for dinner!" 2
Claire giggled gleefully, "You’re here! Of course I’d need to spend some money!" 1
Loreen grinned. "You’re my best friend!"
"Frankly speaking, I’m not qualified to dine here. I'd asked Miss Doris Young to make the reservation for m e with her membership card!"
Loreen sighed. "The Sky Garden sets quite a high requirement, doesn't it? I heard that it's only for their
Diamond members or something, right?" 2 "Yes." Claire nodded. "Honestly, this is my first time here!" 2
Doreen smiled. "Thank you so much, my dear Claire!"
She then continued, "By the way, on my way here, I saw the notice at the entrance that said the Sky Garden is booked three days later. Is that true?" 1
"Yes," Claire replied, "That’s very odd. The Sky Garden has never approved any reservations or bookings before. I wonder what's up with them now." 1
Doreen nodded and said, "Some time ago, there was this video online about a mysterious rich man in Aurous Hill that came with dozens of Rolls-Royces, men in black, and suitcases with cash just to buy a necklace. Have you guys watched the video?”
Charlie shook his head. Claire said, "I have, it's quite a big deal." 1
"Everyone is guessing who he is."
"What is there to guess.." 1
"For gossip, of course! Everyone is eager to know who he is, so domineering and handsome. Some say he's the new chairman of Emgrand Group.” 2
Charlie suddenly froze in shock for an instant but quickly regained his composure. 2
Doreen continued, "Now, someone has booked Shangri-Da's Sky Garden. That's an unprecedented decision, isn't it? I think that the person who booked this place i s the same person who bought the necklace in the video." 1
Claire heaved a helpless sight. "We haven’t seen each other for so long and you’re still the same old busybody!" 3
Loreen laughed and said, “Gossip is the driving force for women to survive!" i
She then continued, "I’m going to come here three days later to see for myself the person powerful enough to book the Sky Garden!" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Charlie, who had been listening to the entire conversation quietly, suddenly felt a headache incoming. 3
All he wanted to do was to give his wife a surprise and a wedding that he couldn't honor her. 1
He didn't want any of the unwanted attention. 3
However, he seemed to have underestimated the influence of the Sky Garden. 2
He figured that there were many people in Aurous Hill who shared the same idea as Loreen-they wanted to see who the person who booked the Sky Garden was.
