Chapter Ten

　　Eric got to the restaurant at exactly 7 pm. He had discarded his suit and was now putting on a dark fitted shirt and pants with a black jacket. His hair was styled in his favourite way and he hoped Annie likes the way he styled it.

　　Since the restaurant was a five-star restaurant, he booked a VIP spot for them.

　　Twenty-five minutes passed without any sign of Annie and Eric became kind of sad with the thought of her not showing up.

　　Soon enough, he sighted her beside a waiter who was directing her to where he was seated.

　　Eric’s heart started beating twice faster as soon as he saw her. She was also in a casual outfit, almost as if they were matching. He watched as she walked towards him and that was when he concluded that she was more beautiful in person.

　　Few more steps for Annie to get to where their table was, Eric rose to his feet, ready to welcome her.

　　“Hi.” He said nervously as soon as she approached him.

　　“Good evening.” She replied with a smile.
