Exiting the vehicle, Abigail gracefully opened the back door and turned to Kate with a warm smil “Kate, we have arrived. A newly established Western dining establishment in the heart of Capital City. I assure you, you have not yet dined here." Kate paused, surveying the restaurant with a slight pursing of her lips.
Abigail was correct; this was unfamiliar territory. Lately, Eric had been immersed in his work, leaving them with scarce moments together, especially for dining out.
Hm... if the cuisine proved delightful, perhaps she could bring Eric along next time.
Lost in thoughts of Eric, Kate failed to notice Abigail's meaningful gazes, her lips softly curved in a smile.
"What are you are you pondering, Kate? Shall we enter?" Abigail's smile widened as she gently tugged at Kate's wrist, leading her inside.
Kate frowned faintly, reflexively withdrawing her wrist from Abigail's grasp. Meeting Abigail's quizzical gaze, she pressed her lips together and responded lightly, "Let's proceed."

The visage of the server soured faintly as she approached the repast's setting, head bowed, and placed the laden tray upon the table with a flat utterance, "The red wine as requested." With those words quietly spoken, the server pivoted and departed.
"Hmm?" Kate's senses stirred at the sound, instinctively casting a glance towards the retreating figure. Though glimpsing only her profile, Kate discerned with precision, "Lana?" Instantly, Lana's countenance contorted! Her form rigidified, and she spun to confront Kate, a cold sneer upon her lips, "Kate, you have cto deride me, have you not? To witnessthus, surely i brings you delight?"
Kate knit her brow in thought, yet ere she could reply from across the room m cAbigail's voice room cAbigail's voice, frigid and authoritative, "Is this the manner in which you serve guests, as a maid? Extend your apologies to Kate!"
Abigail's keen and icy gaze bore down upon Lana, rendering her profoundly ill at ease. Lana's fists? ease clenched tightly, nails biting into her palms deeply. She glowered at Kate, ablaze with envy and rancour, displaying no inclination towards contrition
With a resounding thud upon the table, Abigail rose to her feet, fixing Lana with a gaze even chillier, "If an apology is not forthcoming, I shall not hesitate to summon your overseer!" Lana bit her lip, reluctantly turning towards Kate, "I apologise." Kate regarded Lana with frigid eyes, her tone measured, “You presI have cto taunt you, but your assumption is misplaced. You... do not merit my attention." With those words lingering, Kate averted her gaze nonchalantly from Lana, refusing to grant her further regard.
