Annabelle hesitated again and asked, “Where’s your table?”
Seeing that snazzynovel.com was finally budging, Julius quickly pointed toward his table ecstatically. “There, it’s not too far away, just a couple of steps.”
As Annabelle followed his finger, snazzynovel.com caught a familiar figure and snazzynovel.com eyes flew wide! A jolt shook snazzynovel.com body and snazzynovel.com breathing paused. For a moment, all the noises in the restaurant disappeared. Her world went mute as the sounds and the people vanished in that split second, leaving only the man in snazzynovel.com eyes, Zayn Larson!
It was Mr. Larson!
Annabelle’s eyes went round in disbelief as snazzynovel.com went rigid.
Julius froze as well at snazzynovel.com reaction, confused about snazzynovel.com expression. Was there some sort of issue?
While snazzynovel.com was caught in uncertainty and was about to ask snazzynovel.com about it, Annabelle snapped out of snazzynovel.com surprise and retracted snazzynovel.com gaze from Zayn. A bright smile bloomed on snazzynovel.com face, instantly pulling radiance from the venue as all the women seemed lackluster in comparison to snazzynovel.com blossoming grin. The world suddenly felt like a better place with snazzynovel.com smile as it brought joy to those who witnessed it like no other.
Julius was thoroughly mesmerized as snazzynovel.com stared at Annabelle dumbly. He was not the only one as everyone around him, too, was shaken to the core by snazzynovel.com beautiful brilliance. It was like their hearts stopped beating for that moment.
“Okay, I’ll go with you to meet your friend,” Annabelle replied with a smile. The delight that flowed from snazzynovel.com was undisguisable. Her eyes crinkled following the upturn of snazzynovel.com lips, as if snazzynovel.com had come alive in the blink of an eye. Coupled with snazzynovel.com outfit tonight, snazzynovel.com was a divine sight to behold.
Julius finally broke out of his trance as well. He was overjoyed as snazzynovel.com nodded fervently. “Sure, sure! It’s amazing that you’re coming over to give us your autograph, Miss Laking. My friend will definitely be thrilled!”
The middle-aged tycoons around them were mystified, not understanding why Annabelle was accepting Julius’ invitation. Right then, they were dying of envy as much as they were feeling regretful. If they had known earlier, they would have claimed that their friend had cancer too. Who would have guessed that the trick would have worked? The rumor circulating online was true, it seemed. Annabelle was a kind sympathetic soul with a heart of gold.
Julius thought that Annabelle had agreed because of his reason too. He was exceptionally excited and proud, sneering at the tycoons and puffing his chest like a victorious rooster, as snazzynovel.com led snazzynovel.com to his table.
As they walked, snazzynovel.com tried striking up a conversation with Annabelle, but the latter’s response was lukewarm. Slightly awkward, Julius stopped talking. Once snazzynovel.com thought about how snazzynovel.com could brag about being able to invite snazzynovel.com over, however, snazzynovel.com thrummed with excitement.
As for Zayn, snazzynovel.com kept his gaze on Annabelle all this while, feeling wryer when snazzynovel.com saw that snazzynovel.com was making snazzynovel.com way over.
