Chapter 86 - Fake Girlfriend (1/2)

Lena called Hazel's driver to come to pick her up. She was really drunk by the time she left. Lena made sure there were no paparazzi around in case they snap a photo of Hazel drunk. Lena knew that something else was bothering Hazel, but did not insist.

She knew that Hazel will tell her when she wants too. However, Lena did get some good gossips about the Yang family from her.

Lena was able to finish a few basic designs before she headed out for the night. James went ahead to pull the car out front. Some of the employees were leaving too. Lena was stood outside the driveway and waiting for James.

*Beep Beep*

A car swerved in front of her and opened its window. Lena peeked inside the car.

”Ming Zhao?”

Ming Zhao moved his body closer to the passenger window. ”I am glad I caught you before you left. Had you have dinner yet?”

”No, I have not.” Lena looked up to see her own car coming up the driveway.

”Can I have you for tonight? It's about the favor.”

”Ok. One moment.”

Lena walked to James and told him that she was going to go with Ming Zhao for dinner. But, he should still follow her the way there. She was not planning to have Ming Zhao drop her off at her apartment. Lena opened the front door of Ming's car and sat inside.

Lena looked around the car. If was different from the other car was in last time.

”I expect an expensive dinner from you,” Lena demanded.

”Hahaha, of course.” Ming hit the gas and the car sped off to the main road.

They drove for a while before they reached the beach-side area of the city. Ming pulled up to a top star tourist restaurant. Lena observed the unique style of the restaurant. The main entrance and the walls were made of red stone bricks. The building was swarm with vines and leaves.

”Italian?” She questioned.

”Mhm… you don't like.”

”No. You are treating anyways.”

Ming parked the car and walked over to open the door for Lena. He tossed the keys to the valet and they both entered the fancy Western-themed restaurant. Lena could smell the aroma of freshly baked bread and a mixture of sauces.

”It's a beautiful night. Is dining outside okay?”

”Mhm.”

Ming already booked a table this morning when he texted her. His mother actually owns this restaurant from her side of the family so it was easy getting a reservation. The hostess led them to their table and gave them their menu. Ming pulled the chair for Lena and she sat down.

Lena looked at the menu. It was in Italian but also in English. She panicked for a second there, she did not know Italian.

”Do know how to read in Italian?” Ming asked.
