Chapter 294 - 294 21 Back to Washington

?Chapter 294: Chapter 21: Back to Washington Chapter 294: Chapter 21: Back to Washington Immaculately dressed waiters moved back and forth in the hall, responding to the greetings of the guests, their perpetual smiles combined with their polite demeanor epitomized the restaurant’s elegant chic. Although there were crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the lighting was not too harsh, adding to the ambiance of the restaurant. The band above the dance floor frequented soothing old songs, and occasionally a singer would perform, creating a very sentimental atmosphere.

At a table against the east wall, a man and a woman sat facing each other, engaged in lively conversation, punctuated by genuine, low laughs. The woman had her hair up, with thick bangs at the front, and wore a high V-neck white dress. Her exposed neck added a touch of fragile beauty yet an incomparable elegance; her delicate face seemed as if it were crafted from porcelain. The man, clad in a formal suit, was quite handsome, always wearing a gentle smile. Yet, within that gentleness was a hint of indescribable rebelliousness. His voice was deep and magnetic, equally charming.

Some of the older waiters recognized the elegant, captivating woman—indeed, every Frenchman should recognize Sophie Marceau! However, they didn’t recognize the man sitting across from her, but seeing how joyfully they conversed, they must be close friends, perhaps even more… Of course, these thoughts would quickly vanish from the waiters’ minds. As staff at Paris’ famous Alan Ducasse Restaurant, they had undergone strict training on what should be remembered and what should be forgotten, what could be said and what couldn’t—reasons why Paris’ celebrities favored dining here.

“Alright, I admit it’s amusing, you must be satisfied now?” Sophie said with a resigned tone.

“It sounds like a warning, whether you’re satisfied or not, you have to be satisfied,” Adrian said with a laugh, and then took a big sip of water, “So, I’m very satisfied now.”

“What do you think I should say then? I’ve already admitted it’s fun or maybe…” Sophie’s eyes bent up, her previous resignation obviously feigned, but she didn’t finish her sentence, seeming to have thought of something else, and her smile became slightly stiff.

“Or maybe what?” Adrian asked smoothly, without showing any sign of his curiosity.

“Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that it’s not easy to book a seat at Ducasse’s, you have to do it at least a day in advance,” Sophie smiled, deftly changing the subject, “So… you planned this in advance, didn’t you?”

“Of course,” Adrian admitted readily, “I said before, if I were sitting across from you without ever asking you here, I would regret it for a long time. It turns out, Lady Luck is still on my side.”

“What if I had refused then?” Sophie asked intriguingly.

“Then I would have canceled it,” Adrian replied, slightly surprised, apparently not understanding why she would ask such a question.
