"Trust me, he didn't want to penalize you guys in the first place."
"Yeah, right! I've been punished more times than I've had hot dinners over the years!"
Arabella chuckled softly, passing the iPad across the table, "Do these choices look good to you?
Should we add more?"
"C'mon, Arabella, don't you go playing the penny-pincher with me. You've barely scratched the surface
of this menu, and it's not like I can't afford a decent meal!" Cathy quickly pushed the iPad back, "Order
away, please don't hold back!"
"We can't overdo it though; hate to see good food go to waste," Arabella replied with a gentle smile.
"It won’t happen! But don't underestimate the depth of my pockets. Today is all about having a blast!" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Their private dining room door was ajar, and just then, a passerby caught a glimpse of Cathy and called
out in surprise and delight, "Cathy?"
"Tabitha??" Cathy, spotting her and the younger girl beside her, greeted them with joy, "Theresa, are
you two out for a meal today? Just the two of you?"
"Yeah, it's Theresa's birthday today. Mom and Dad are tied up, couldn't celebrate with her, so it's up to
me, her big sis, to make her day special," Tabitha was a good friend of Cathy's, and Theresa was her
younger sister.
"Hey there, Cathy." Theresa greeted politely, the picture of youthful charm.
"Happy birthday, Theresa! I hope all your wishes come true," Cathy said, ruffling her hair with a
beaming smile.
"Thanks, Cathy."
"Who are you dining with?" Tabitha peered curiously into Cathy's room and saw none other than
Arabella, the talk of the town and Cathy's cousin-in-law!
"Let me introduce you - this is my cousin-in-law Arabella. Arabella, this is my good friend Tabitha,"
Cathy introduced with enthusiasm.
"Pleased to meet you," Arabella greeted with a smile that could light up the darkest room, her grace
and beauty almost ethereal.
Tabitha was taken aback - Arabella was even more stunning in person than she had been on the
internet!
"Nice to meet you," Tabitha was still recovering from the shock. This girl was beyond gorgeous!
"Arabella, it’s Theresa's birthday today. I'm going to sing her a birthday song to celebrate. You'll join us
in a bit, won't you?" Cathy said cheerfully.
"Of course," Arabella smiled again, her demeanor warm enough to melt snow in winder, as refreshing
as a summer breeze, captivating and soothing all at once.
As they left the room, Tabitha couldn't help but whisper to Cathy, "Arabell is breathtaking! No wonder
Romeo, who's as cold as they come, fell for her. I mean, casting aside her skills, with looks like that, I'd
do anything for her! If I hadn't seen her with my own eyes today, I'd never believe someone so beautiful
could exist. Suddenly, I feel like I'm just here to make up the numbers!"
"I think she's stunning too. Everything feels better with her around." Cathy grinned, squeezing her best
friend's hand, "Arabella has so many great qualities; I could go on for days. But you're gorgeous in your
own right! Look at that smile and those dimples - totally sweet."
Laughing, Tabitha continued their chat as they walked away, "Speaking of which, how come your
cousin isn't around today?"
"I called his assistant earlier, asked him to keep Romeo occupied for the day. I've tried to take Arabella
out a few times, but he always gets in the way!"
Tabitha laughed, "That just shows how much he adores her."
"But I adore her too! I want to spend more time with her as well."
Back in the room, Arabella was finalizing the menu on the iPad when she heard her name called.
"Arabella???"
