Chapter: 1473
“Isla and I will help you. Let's get started."
Grover sighed, but had no choice to nod in agreement.
“Alright, madam.”
Staring at Octavian, who looked like a prince in those fairy tales, Barbara blushed profusely.
On behalf of her grandmother, she would gift Octavian with the third quota for the Pill Alchemist Association's examination.
This was, of course, the first time they met each other, When Octavian heard that he was going to be meeting the lady of the Jenkins family, he immediately booked a table at the best Italian restaurant in Broome.
With Mrs. Jenkins looking after her, Barbara had been living a luxurious life since she was a little girl.
But this Italian restaurant was still far more luxurious than the imagination of Barbara.
From the chef to the waiters, all the staff were professionals who hailed from Europe.
The patrons of the restaurants could only give their orders in English, French, or Italian.
This was because this restaurant was exclusively for European patrons. Guests from any other region in the world had to be accompanied by someone from Europe.
An elegant Italian opera song was playing in the hall, It was sung by a female singer that Barbara was not familiar with, but she had to admit that the tune was quite suitable for the dining atmosphere.
Although the blonde waitress didn't take a look at Barbara from beginning to end and only conversed with Octavian for the details of the order, Barbara still felt that she was enjoying a high-level treatment like the princess in the fairy tales.
Octavian... What if he was a royal member of some country? Barbara began to fantasize about Octavian's background, and her heart began to race for no reason.
Subconsciously, an alluring charm crept into her smile and her movements. As expected, Octavian smiled at her more brightly.
“Miss Herrera?"
“What? Yes!" When she heard Octavian call her name in an attractive voice, Barbara was stunned,
It was rare for her to be captivated by a man's appearance and temperament. Last time it was Anthony, but he was so indifferent to her.
In contrast, the amiable manner of Octavian almost swept Barbara off her feet!
Octavian didn't seem to care about Barbara being absent-minded just then. Instead, a glint of merry amusement entered his eyes.
“Wiss Herrera, I have ordered a drink for you. It's a mild wine. As for the food, we will be having coconut bread, smoked salmon salad with yogurt, a platter of shrimp and oyster, black truffle, caviar, goose liver pizza, and hazelnut and pumpkin soup with cheese.
These dishes are actually the specialties of this restaurant. Ah, there's something I need to confirm with you. How would you like your steak done?
Hearing the variety of dishes that Octavian had ordered for her, Barbara was delighted.
Because of Mrs. Jenkins’ insistence on dining only at home, Barbara hadn't had much experience dining out while growing up.
