anwhile, Joanna was feeling like a third wheel. Finally, she cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "Ahem, well... Master Moran, can I go now since your fiancee is here and you don’t need soone else to eat with you?"
"No." Ace refused her and explained snidely, ’Yes, I have soone to eat with, but I need a plaything to relieve my boredom." What?"
"Go with us to relieve our boredom,’ Ace said casually.
Joanna was flabbergasted.
"You don’t want to?" Ace noticed Joanna’s expression and smiled lightly." If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you, but... I do have the habit of telling stories at the dining table."
"No, I want to. In fact, I would love to eat with the both of you." Joanna faked a smile and gritted her teeth. If it were not for the fact that she wanted to find out what happened between her brother and Taylor, she would have punched Ace by now.
She had never t a man as annoying as him!
"I’m sure it’s unnecessary." Seraphina looked at Joanna with disdain. "Miss Pierce, I’m sure you know that absence makes the heart grow fonder. It’s been a while since Ace and I t, so we have a lot to talk about.
Won’t you feel awkward if you co with us?"
"Hah, of course not. We’re all friends. Why would I feel awkward?" Joanna smiled insincerely. ’Of course I’ll feel awkward, but I have no choice. I don’t want to go either!’
Joanna had co this far, so she had to be brave.
"You!" Seeing how shaless Joanna was, Seraphina did not know what to do for a mont. After all, things might turn ugly if she persisted after Ace agreed to it.
"Fine. I don’t care if you want to be a third wheel, go ahead and eat with us. " Seraphina lifted her chin and pretended to be generous.
Finally, they went to the most famous restaurant nearby. It is usually frequented by couples, so people rarely went there in groups.
The waiter had a complicated expression when the three of of you going to dine here?"
"No." Ace shook his head. "Two."
The waiter glanced at Joanna and Seraphina before saying awkwardly, "But there are three of you."
"One is here to entertain us, so she’s not included." Ace smirked. Though it sounded absurd, it seed normal coming from a rich and dignified man like him.
The waiter then led them to their table.
All the tables in the private rooms only ca with two seats, so Joanna had no idea what to do.
Where was she supposed to sit?
Joanna looked around and did not notice any extra chairs, so she said to the waiter beside her, "Mister, can you get a chair?"
"Umm, about that..." He looked like he was in a difficult situation.
"What’s wrong? I’m a guest, but I don’t have a chair. So, I asked you to get a chair for . Is it that hard?" Joanna glared at him.
The waiter wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said carefully, "I’m sorry. Madam, but it’s a table for two. If we give you another chair, it’ll affect the atmosphere in the restaurant as well as the dining experience."
"Are you kidding ?* Joanna was speechless. What kind of restaurant was this?
"Of course he’s being serious." Seraphina sat across from Ace and said sarcastically, "It’s a table for two, so obviously they don’t have extra chairs. If I was in your shoes, I’d be sensible enough to go to another restaurant instead of making things difficult for the waiter."
Joanna was already annoyed, and now, Seraphina had pushed her patience past its limit.
"You’re right-it doesn’t make sense to have a third person here since it’s a table for two. You have to be sensible too, so get up!" Joanna barked at Seraphina, and grabbed her chair.
"W-What do you an? This seat is mine! Why should I leave?" Seraphina did not expect Joanna to fight back, and was furious when Joanna tried to snatch her seat.
"Who told you this seat is yours? Does it have your na on it?" Joanna asked rudely.
"Ace let sit here. I’m his fiancee, so of course this seat is mine!"
Seraphina protested indignantly.
"Ace let you sit here? Does this chair have Ace’s na on it then?" Joanna raised an eyebrow.
"Umm, well..." Seraphina couldn’t argue with that.
"Get up!" Joanna finally lost her patience and grabbed Seraphina’s shoulders, nudging her up from the chair.
"Joanna, how dare you?" Seraphina stumbled away from the chair, then swung around to glare at Joanna angrily. Joanna flashed her a triumphant smirk as she sat in the chair comfortably.
Joanna then proceeded to ignore Seraphina as she scanned the nu and started ordering dishes. "This looks nice. Oh, this looks nice too. And this looks pretty good. Bring all of these!"
She had ordered almost all the dishes on the nu.
After that, she closed the nu with satisfaction. Lifting her chin, she said to Ace sweetly, "Master Moran, is there anything else you would like to eat? After all, you’re paying, so order whatever you want!"
Ace pursed his lips, amused by Joanna. He looked down to hide his smile and casually flipped through the nu. "Miss Pierce, you might be scrawny, but you seem to have a good appetite... I really don’t know where the food goes."
"What did you say? Scrawny?" Joanna felt her face turn red in sha, and sat up straighter indignantly, ’TH have you know that my figure is extrely attractive!"
Inwardly, Joanna was thinking, ’You know better than anyone how good my figure is-stop lying!’
Ace slowly looked up and glanced at her indifferently before saying, "But you’re still not pretty enough."
Joanna was flabbergasted. Unable to accept his words, she imdiately snarled, "Excuse ? I bet you just want a woman with big boobs, right?!
You’re nothing but a lecherous pervert!"
