Can't trust anyone easily

"My Lady, why are you standing alone here?" Arthur asked, taking her by surprise.

"Ah, you here, Mister?" Dahlia was quite surprised to see him in the market.

"Yes. I am here to be a part of this festival specifically," Arthur replied. "Where is your husband? It's not advisable to leave your wife like this in an unknown place," he opined scanning his eyes around the room. The restaurant was packed with people, more crowded than the usual days.

"I didn't leave my wife alone. I went to ask about the order we have given some time ago," Sullivan's voiced, causing Arthur to look at him. Dahlia stood up from her place and stood beside Sullivan with a bit relief.

"Ahh, I see. Can I also take this table? The others aren't empty at the moment," Arthur requested.

"Yes, you can," Sullivan replied with a smile. Dahlia gazed at him, gesturing to him why he said that. Now, the situation would be more awkward.
