"What a stylish looking man… who is he?"
Nico asked me from the chair next to me, but I shook my head.
"I don't know. Let's greet them."
I stood up from my chair, and Nico followed awkwardly. The pair arrived by our table, and I shook my hand with the old man who just arrived. And as we shook hands, he spoke to me.
"You're the girl my Celine mentioned?"
The old man said, and I immediately became confused.
My… Celine…?
" 'My Celine'?"
Next to me, Nico asked so frontally, which made the old man look at him with shock. I was also very surprised by how sudden Nico opened his mouth, especially when this is our first meeting with him.
And right after Nico said that, Edward quickly defends himself.
"Ah! I wasn't saying that in a disgusting way! Please, don't worry. Young Celine is simply the model I worked with. No need to be so wary!"
