Chapter 79 An Offer With Mrs Flicher

• "Alex, please, let's just go." Juliet pleaded with him and held his arm before he could take any more steps towards the ladies... He let out a deep sigh and nodded, and juliet felt relief wash over her... They both walked out the restaurant in silence. He said nothing to her while she kept looking around in case anyone recognised him again... She could finally breathe again in relief when they were both inside his car... "I'm sure they were only wondering who I am." She said suddenly, hoping her words would help reduce the tension that had formed between the both of them in the car. "I'm sorry," Alex replied. He never wanted their lunch date to turn out like this. he just wanted them to spend a nice time together and now he ruined everything... "You don't have to be. some people don't just know how to mind their business, " Juliet replied. She knew it wasn't his fault... "We should go somewhere else. somewhere no one would disturb our peace, and I know just the place. " Juliet smiled at him, their hand were still intertwined... "And where would that be?" Alex asked... "Probably my place," She answered, and he finally smiled. The tension between the both of them had dissipated, and they only mattered to each other at that moment... "We should get going then," He replied and started his car engine. Alex drove away, and juliet took one last glance at the restaurant... Would it be like this from then on? They had gone on a date at night before he went on his trip, but no one had recognised him them. maybe it was probably because it wasn't the type of place people of his class frequented... Maybe it was best if they avoided places like this then...
• As they drove towards Juliet's house, Alex was contemplating in his mind if it was the right time to tell her about the building her had purchased in her name... He was trying to think about what her reaction would be to such an information... "Juliet." He called her name softly and glanced at her... she had a lingering smile on her face... "Yes," She responded... but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth... maybe now wasn't the best time... He shook his head and turned his attention back to the road but not without leaving Juliet curious about What he wanted to ask her...
• She kept glancing at him occasionally, hoping he would say something, but he did not... the remaining ride to her house was a quiet one...
