“Okay.” Matthew nodded.
About ten minutes later, the two walked into the restaurant, with one leading the other.
The restaurant was brightly lit and quiet. The interior decor was a modern retro style, making it look very sophisticated.
A waitress came up and flashed them a smile.
“Hello, sir, ma’am. Is it just the two of you? Do you have a reservation?”
Stella stepped forward and said to her, “No, we don’t. We’d like a private dining room.”
“Okay, this way please.” The waitress led them to a private room.
Once they got seated at the table, she handed them separate menus.
“Our menu contains several delicious dishes. Please make your choice.”
“What would you like to have? Feel free. It’s on me,” Stella said generously, but there was an unnatural smile on her face.
She wasn’t sure of Matthew’s taste. But for a man of his caliber, she felt he would love exquisite dishes. She prayed silently that the bill wouldn’t exceed her credit card limit when it was time to pay.

“Don’t you have other sets to recommend?”
“I’m sorry. This is a couples’ restaurant, so our menu is filled with couple packages for dates. However, set dishes can be tweaked to suit individual tastes,” the waitress explained patiently.
Stella suddenly became hotter.
She had been so focused on finding the closest restaurant that was still open that she failed to notice this was a restaurant for couples.
How could she have made such a mistake? Matthew was her boss, not her boyfriend or husband!
This was about to get really awkward. Rubbing her forehead, Stella tried to stay calm and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Clark, how about we go somewhere else?”
