Even if you don’t visit the villa, could we have dinner together?”
With the afternoon sunlight filtering through, Hannah hesitated momentarily before agreeing, “Sure, you choose the place. I’ll be there tonight.”
Over the phone, Allison exuded enthusiasm.
“Excellent! I’ll reserve a spot at a restaurant for tonight. Join me for dinner.”
“Sure. Shoot me the address and I’ll be right over.”
Once Hannah ended the call, a twinge of regret pricked at her.
Perhaps she should have inquired about Declan joining them…
After a brief contemplation, Hannah refrained from dialing Allison again. She reasoned that Allison was always considerate so it was unlikely Allison would invite Declan along.
In the Edwards family villa, following the phone call, Allison instructed the servant at her side, “Arrange for a restaurant booking with a sophisticated ambiance.”
“Yes, madam.”
Once the servant left, she promptly contacted Declan.
“Mr. Edwards, Mrs. Allison Edwards is planning to book a restaurant with a refined setting. It seems she wants to dine with Miss Moore.”
Declan, in the midst of signing documents, halted. After a moment of silence, he instructed, “Go ahead and book a restaurant. Send me the address.”
“Understood, Mr. Edwards.”
After a short interval, Hannah’s phone buzzed. Allison had forwarded the address.

Hannah recognized the restaurant – a recent addition to Valmere’s culinary scene. A rooftop garden restaurant with an elegant ambiance and secluded spaces.
Hannah replied, “Got it. I’ll be there on time.”
With that settled, Hannah immersed herself back into her work.
After a day filled with tasks, Hannah adorned herself in a brown dress, striving for a gentle appearance. She carefully donned a coat and set out for the restaurant.
Escorted by a waiter, she was guided to the elevated garden. Allison occupied a round table, beckoning warmly.
“Hannah, come, take a seat here.”
Gracefully, Hannah approached and settled across from Allison.
Flashing a smile, she set her bag aside and inquired, “How have you been lately, Allison?”
“I’ve been well. However, it seems you’re not doing so great!”
