Paige Works Here?
Jaydan Johnson, the restaurant manager, glanced at Paige, who was next to Martin and then at their hands, which were holding together Needless to say, Paige was Martin's girlfriend.
Then Jaydan bowed respectfully and said, "Mrs. Stowe, this way please!"
"I am not Mrs. Stowe."
But Jaydan was so sure about it since the two were holding hands. Then he nodded and said, "But you will be soon, right? Do you know that Mr. Stowe has never brought a girl here before? You are the first one!"
Paige was speechless.
"Is there anything you can't eat?"
"No. But I'd be happy if you could just call me Paige."
"Mrs. Stowe, calling you 'Mrs. Stowe' is my way of showing respect..." Jaydan smiled before whispering to the walkie talkie on his collar, "Quick, clear the area as soon as possible!"
Paige then looked at Martin, as if asking him, "We're just eating here, right? Why is all the ostentation?"
"This is our first time."
Martin did not let go of her hand, and the two entered the restaurant together after that
Meanwhile, Abbigail was holding Davon's arms happily.
"Davon, the food here is expensive, and yet you've brought me here. It's so nice of you!"
"You're my fiancée, so of course, I have to be nice to you." Davon looked at her lovingly.
The two talked as they walked to the restaurant sweetly. But then the receptionist bowed to them apologetically. "I'm sorry, it is booked today.”
"The whole restaurant has been booked? How come I didn't receive a notification..." Davon frowned slightly. Obviously, he was a little unhappy. "It's last-minute. I'm really sorry. Maybe you can rebook a table on our app on another day. We will give you a 50 percent discount then..." Abbigail found the discount tempting.
She knew how much the restaurant charged for it's food. A drink alone cost over several hundred dollars here.
But even so, not everyone could book a table here. Davon only managed to do it because he started to make a reservation half a month ago... That being said, Davon was only able to book a table in the lobby!
There was no way he could book a private room.
He thought, what's the occasion today? Are there any big shots here now? That is simply so rich!
"Alright"
Davon was about to leave, but Abbigail happened to see a familiar figure walking toward the VIP elevator
That elevator led to the top private room.
Abbigail thom ht on that Page
i know it s her since! I never mistake her for someone else
"Why can she go in then Abbigail pointed at the female figure and asked.
Who are you referring to?"
The receptionist turned around but failed to see anyone. Then she explained gently, "The only people who can enter
the restaurant tonight are the VIP guests. Other than that, there are only us, the service staff."
"Abbigail, who did you see?"
Davon looked over curiously, only to find no one.
"I think I saw Paige," Abbigail whispered in Davon's ear.
"Did you mistake someone else?"
Only rich people or people with high social status were allowed in there. But Paige was neither.
Besides, the whole restaurant had been booked. There was no way Paige could get in there.
"Maybe Paige works here in order to stay in Chicago?"
Abbigail sighed hypocritically, "Davon, can you find a job for her? I'm worried that the rich people here might take a fancy to her and even harass her You know how proud Paige could be. What if she makes sacrifices only to stay in
Chicago.."
"Whatever situation she is in now has nothing to do with us."
"Let's go to the restaurant opposite." Davon held Abbigail's hand.
"OK."
In order to better see Paige, Abbigail chose a seat by the window deliberately so that she could see Paige coming out of
the Star Restaurant.
"Mr. Stowe and Mrs. Stowe, please take a seat."
The private room was sp*cious and luxurious. One could enjoy the scenery from within.
It was a high class restaurant located at the top of the mountain. Once the ceiling was open, the guests could then see
the sky.
Sitting beside Paige, Martin kept holding her hand. Then he pushed the iPad that the waiter gave him in front of Paige. "What do you want to eat?"
Paige browsed through the menu and ordered a few dishes casually. Martin added a lot more after that. Noticing that Jaydan had left the room, Paige raised her eyebrows. "Can you let go now?" Martin asked seriously, "How about a while longer?"
Paige was lost for words.
"Just a longer while "
Paige rolled her eyes at him.
"You can enjoy a completely different view here during the day. I'll bring you here next time."
Page dist not speak After a while Laydan along with a few chefs, started to serve the dishes
This afternoon, when they were having lunch at the Lusk family's place, Martin paid attention to Paige s preference for dishes. Therefore, he knew roughly what kind of food was to her liking. So many dishes' Can we even finish them?"
Paige noticed that there were more than twenty dishes in front of them.
et seat slowly'
With one hand holding hers, Martin then started to pick up food for Paige.
"Can you let go now?"
With him holding her hand like that, she wouldn't be able to eat.
Martin let go of her right hand and took the opportunity to hold her left one as if it was the thing they did all the time.
Paige was speechless.
"You really want to eat like this?"
Paige was not used to that at all.
"Yes."
"Martin, I think we need to have a talk."
"Let's talk after the meal."
Martin picked up a peeled shrimp and brought it to her lips. "Try it?"
"Put it on my plate, and I will eat it myself."
Noticing that Paige had opened her mo*th while she was talking, Martin put the shrimp right into her mo*th.
Paige cast him a warning look, which Martin didn't find offensive at all. Then he asked with a gentle look, "How is it?"
"So so!"
That scared the chefs next to them greatly, who then asked, "Mrs. Stowe, may I ask which dish you don't like? Tell me, and I'll change it immediately."
"I'm talking about people, not the dishes."
The chefs were a little confused.
"You may leave now."
Hearing Martin's words, the chefs and Jaydan left right away, as if staying there had tortured them terribly.
"Are you angry?"
Martin looked at Paige gently. "I know I am too eager

"Can you sit across from me?"
What Paige wanted was for Martin to stay away from her
"But I want to sit with you."
Looking at Martin's face, which looked serious, Paige was speechless.
After the meal, which took them quite a while to finish, the lights of the restaurant dimmed and the ceiling opened. The beautiful starry sky appeared in front of their eyes.
Paige did not expect that the scenery could be so spectacular here on the top of the mountain. Paige looked up, and suddenly she thought of the days when she was a child in the countryside.
At that time, Tyrell and Lindsey were concentrating on their career and were constantly away from home, leaving Cassie alone to take care of her one night after another.
The sky in the countryside back then was starry like this as well.
It was just that Cassie had been si*k and she was already a different person.
As they sat there, a violinist, who was standing in a corner of the room, started to play romantic music.
After the song
ended, a few fireworks had been set off against the night sky. Paige looked up at the fireworks, and
Martin looked down at
