Chapter 36
– NAOMI
“Goodness” Charles chuckles as he gets out of his car.
His eyes are on in and for a second I feel a bit embarrassed. Because it feels as though his gaze are piercing through my borly like an X–ray machine.
“Naomi” He calls, delighteilly
“You look ravishing He compliments
Despite the night bring cold, I can feel my a
cheeks heating up
“Thank you” I say. “You look amazing“ 1 add, and it is true.
He looks amazing.
I can’t help but be captivated yet again, by this man’s impeccable style. He exudes confidence and sophistication, dressed in a tailored navy blue uair that accentuates his broad shoulders and chiseled physique
The crisp white shirt, adorned with a subtle pattern of thin stripes, complements his sun–kissed complexion, while the slin black tie adds a touch of elegance
His auburn hair is perfectly messy, with a hint of texture that adds depth and dimension. His piercing chestnut eyes sparkle with warmth, framed by thick lashes that add to their allure. A subtle scent of cedarwood and bergamot wafts from his direction, leaving me intrigued.
The way he carries himself, with a relaxed air of self–assurance, poly adds to his charm. Elis smile, a gentle curve of his full lips, reveals a hint of mischief, making me wonder what secrets lie beneath his polished exterior. Overall, he is the epitome of refined masculinity, leaving me undeniably drawn to his captivating presence.
“Are we ready to leave?” He asks.
“Ah yes” I nod. Ashamed that I have spent way too much time staring at him.
As we get into his car, and he hits the road, Jak
“Where are we going?”
He turns his head slightly “Ah, somewhere I made reservations”
“oh” I nod
Not much help but at least he has given me a heads up that we’re going to a restaurant.
After a few minutes of silent drive. He als
“How have you been holding up
“Good” I nod
His Lips stretch into a smile. “That’s nice, I’ve been good too”
“Well that’s good too” I nod
Another silence follows
And it is a bit awkward.
But for what it’s worth. I’m glad he’s a really nice guy and wants to eat with me after all he’s done.
He pulls up in front of a small restaurant that looks shabby and gloomy from the outside. And I am a bit surprised
For a man of his status and the fact that he mentioned making reservations earlier
1 kind of expected him to take us to one of the hottest restaurants in townL
But again, I think I like this place too

[fru people might recognize me or him if we went to a hot restaurant
It’s almost laughable. The celebrity I’ve become.
The one
all the dies hate.
We step inside the restaurant and my jaw falls.
I am immediately astonished by the vast, enormous space that unfolds before me. The small, unassuming
exterior belies a bigger inside.
What the hell did I see outside!
Or was the shabness just a
a camouflage.
The restaurant’s interior is a masterclass in huxury, with high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and walls adorned with rich, velvet drapes.
The atmosphere is hushed and intimate, with soft music and the gentle hum of refined conversation filling the air.
The floors are polished marble, reflecting the warm glow of the chandeliers, and the tables are set with fine china, crystal glasses, and crisp white linens
Goodness!
Charles moves and I trail behind him like a country–side girl, coming to the city for the first time in her dear life.
It’s crazy how the inside and the outside of the place are words and opposite.
How was it so small outside and so big inside!
Is this some level Z magic!
The waiters are impeccably dressed in tailored black suits, their movements graceful and precise as they attend to each table with discreet efficiency.
The air is thick with the aroma of exquisite cuisine, and I can’t help but salivate in anticipation of the culinary delights to come.
Every detail, from the delicate flower arrangements to the subtle scent of fresh flowers, speaks of refinement and elegance.
The restaurant’s interior is a testament to the owner’s impeccable taste, and 1 feel like I’ve entered a secret world of luxury, hidden from the outside world
“Mr. Charles Dickson” One of the waitress, pretty and tall.
Comes up to us and beams at Charles
“Delighted to see you again Sir. Your table for two is ready.” The lady beams.
“Thank you Tiana” Charles nods.
Tiana!
I guess he must be familiar with the people here.
And it is strange how the place is almost empty.
No. It is completely empty!
The Tiana lady stretches her head to get a good look at me, and when she does, her pupils briefly dilme like there is something on my Lice
When I try to raise a questioning brow, She beams at me.
We are taken to our table and Charles beams at me.
“I rented this whole place for us,” He says
I gasp softly.
“No way”
He laughs, “I don’t like a chattering place when I want to eat with a friend”
A friendl

Right.
“Well this place is amazing.” I nod.
“You think?” His eyes lighten up.
“Yeah I love it”
“I usually come here. It’s my favorite place and their servings are chef’s kiss”
I smile. “I can’t wait to taste it then, and when I see it’s good, I’ll recommend it to the entire world”
He pause.
“Can this place be a secret.. between us? just the two of us?”
“Oh” I am taken aback. “Sure” I nod immediately.
“Perfect.” He beams.
“Places like this, I only take the people I like here and you’re the first“.
This time. I pause.
“I’m sorry,”
I drop the menu in my hand.
I need to clarify this.
I am not offended if he actually likes me or is interested in me.
But I need clarifications!
“Charles Dickson. I hope you’re aware I am married and I am the mother of two boys?”
