Richard gave a nod to Stephen, bid his goodbyes and left from there
Stephen was on cloud nine as the romantic atmosphere and her lady love were with him
It was like some dream come true for her, but when he noticed a couple entering the restaurant, all his romantic thoughts vanished in the air.
“Eva, listen carefully; a couple is coming towards us to meet us. You just have to agree with whatever I say. Ok “
“But who are they?”
“Just some old business associates of dad, and I cannot upset them so please behave appropriately, OK? “
Eva gave a nod at him for the first time, talking to her in a nervous tone
“Stephen, oh my God, I never thought that we would meet you here, boy, so how are you and how are William and Rose doing? So you are here. suddenly that middle-aged man noticed Eva, and he nudged his wife to notice her too
“Who is the young lady? My mistake was that I didn’t introduce myself. I am Harold White, and she is my beautiful wife, Monika White.”
Eva gave a nod at both. She heard both of these names before, but she is just not recalling where. Still, she greeted them with a smile
“Eva Johnson “
"Well, lovely name for a lovely girl.” “
Suddenly Monica gasped, gazing at the decorations on the table, whereas Stephen was trying to assume what was coming up
"Stephen, my boy, I am thrilled for you. You know Rose used to always be worried for you, but I am so glad that she doesn’t have to worry anymore. “
“What are you talking about?” Harold White inquired as he was also trying to assume the reason behind the sudden cheerfulness of the lady
“Come on, Harold, didn’t you notice this restaurant is a little away from the city? Look at the arrangements. Stephen Smith, the most desired bachelor, is having his lunch in this romantic atmosphere with a beautiful girl. What does it mean to you?”
Harold gave a teasing smile to Stephen, but the two souls were shocked and froze in their places as they also got the meaning of Monica’s words
“So you are dating each other? That's a wonderful young man. We are thrilled for you."
"At last Stephen got his perfect girl."
Eva wanted to refuse, but Stephen reached beside her and pulled her close by her waist.
“Yes, you are right. She is the one for whom my soul was searching. Eva Johnson”
Eva looked at him for a second. It shocked her to notice his words. For a minute, she thought that he stating the facts in his firm voice
“Oh, you both are so adorable. God bless you both; now we will not disturb you more. Enjoy your date. We are leaving."
Stephen and Eva gave a nod at them, and soon they left for the first floor of the restaurant
Eva got slumped in her seat, and Stephen got worried for her. He passed her water, which she drank quietly
"What did you do? You must have cleared their doubt."
"And you think they would have believed me as we both are sitting surrounded by these red flowers in a restaurant far away from the city? Trust me Eva, I know them no matter how much I must have denied it but they should have never believed“
“ Still you did
"Ok, we will see to it later. You need something more. I mean, what should I order for you?"
“ No… Just leave from here; I want to go home."
