NovelEnglishChapter 1010: Kristopher's fingers lingered above the keyboard, uncertain of what to type. Each attempt to formulate a reply was aborted before it began. Finally, he decided against responding directly, opting instead to send Camille's contact information to his assistant and closed the chat.
Carrie lingered in anticipation of a reply, but none came. To distract herself, she launched a streaming service to watch her company's latest series.
Days later, Carrie and her family visited a restaurant renowned for its health-centric offerings, where the menu was crafted by nutritionists. The restaurant's design championed simplicity, aiming to encourage closeness among diners with its open layout, devoid of private rooms. However, being a high-end establishment, it wasn't just a simple dining area like a roadside diner. Instead, the space was divided with screens, creating distinct sections for privacy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarrie didn't think the design brought people any closer. In fact, she found it inconvenient, constantly having to watch what she said. She even suspected that the restaurant had used this so-called effort to bring people together as a cover for their inability to create private rooms, leading to such a simplistic layout.
Yet, the rich crowd seemed drawn to these minimalist nuances.
The decor, however, was meticulously arranged to evoke a traditional setting, complete with elaborate designs and tranquil water elements. Incense burners sat unlit at each table.
Arion noticed Carrie's attention to the details and laughed. "They typically use incense here, but knowing it includes musk, I had them refrain from burning it since I planned our visit last week." Musk, commonly used in perfumes, poses risks of miscarriage for pregnant women.
If the unique features of such an upscale restaurant were to cease, it could only be because someone had paid enough to make it happen.
Carrie knew that if she asked, Arion would surely downplay it and say it wasn't much, but she could easily imagine that it was a significant amount.
Everyone claims that shifting from opulence to austerity is challenging, but for her, transitioning from austerity to opulence proved just as difficult.
Having indulged in a luxurious lifestyle for years, first with Kristopher and later with the Morrison family, she was still struggling to fully adjust.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe server promptly brought out the meal, which included a variety of carefully selected supplements and an array of exquisite side dishes.
Jenesis carefully ladled a bowl of fish soup for herself.
Arion, placing several wholesdishes before her, encouraged, “Eat up, these are great for my soon-to-be niece." Jenesis exchanged a look with Arion and rearranged the dishes, warning, "It's vital not to overdo supplements during pregnancy. A well-rounded diet is key." As they conversed, the arrival of other patrons could be heard beyond the screens. A server could be heard announcing, "Ms. Hinks, Mr. Dury, and Miss Hinks, your table is ready. Please, this way."
The Morrison family momentarily lost their cheerful demeanor upend m overhearing the names, sharing knowing looks.
