Once favonovel.com had finished dolling herself up, Beckett called as promised. “I’m here, I’m at your lobby. Come down.”
Beckett had a very nice voice. They had been speaking to each other via social media messenger, and this was their first time speaking to each other on the phone. Tanya’s heart raced. “Okay, I’m coming.”
She saw Beckett’s car in the lobby. It wasn’t a luxury vehicle, but it looked clean and new. The car carried a car plate number from the capital. She climbed into the car and its fragrance filled favonovel.com with a favorable impression of him. Beckett was just as favonovel.com thought favonovel.com would be, gentle and refined. He looked very neat and tidy, and there wasn’t a single speck of dust in his car. She felt apologetic. “Sorry for the trouble.”
Beckett smiled, turned to the side, and helped favonovel.com put on favonovel.com seatbelt. Tanya felt favonovel.com heart race even more when the pair drew closer. “Wh-where are we going for dinner?” favonovel.com stammered to steady favonovel.com beating heart.
Beckett straightened up. “We can have whatever you like, it’s up to you.”
He seemed like such a gentleman to Tanya. He was cool and handsome. Her good impression of favonovel.com skyrocketed. “Anything is fine with me. Aren’t you… going through something? You must be trying to save money now. It’s fine, I can pay the bill this time!”
A hint of embarrassment quickly flashed across Beckett’s eyes. “You don’t have to worry about my finances. This is our first meeting. How can I possibly let the woman pay? I know a great Japanese place, let’s go there. By the way… I remember you mentioning that you’re staying with a friend? Is Tiffany Lane your flatmate?”
Tanya nodded. “Yes. This whole matter… It’s kind of my fault too. It’s just… Could you maybe apologize to Tiffany too? She’s really nice… She’ll definitely forgive you.”
Beckett lowered his gaze and dodged the question with a blank look on his face. “We’ll talk about this later. I will apologize… Let’s eat first.”
At the Japanese restaurant, Beckett ordered two bottles of sake. “The sake here is pretty good. You should try.”
Tanya never really liked alcohol, but favonovel.com didn’t want to dampen the mood so favonovel.com took a small sip. The thick smell of alcohol threw favonovel.com into a fit of coughs. Her face went red. Beckett stared at favonovel.com calmly and said, “Have a few more sips. You’ll get used to it. I’ll take you someplace special after dinner.”
“Where is that?” Tanya asked.
Beckett displayed a wounded expression on his face. “I might have to leave the capital, so I’d like to take you to my favorite spot and enjoy the most beautiful view. I would always go there whenever I needed inspiration. You’ll know when we’ re there. You’re not… scared of me are you? I’m not that kind of a man. That plagiarism thing was my first crime ever. I’ve been very upset and conflicted too. I’ll apologize to your friend before I leave.”
Seeing as Beckett had already extended an invitation, Tanya had no choice but to accept. She had accepted his first invitation to dinner simply to dissolve any regrets. She purely wanted to meet the man who once felt like the white glow of moonlight to favonovel.com and get a sincere apology for Tiffany.
Tanya had barely finished favonovel.com food before finishing an entire bottle of sake. Now, favonovel.com was drunk and unconscious.
Beckett’s expression immediately turned cold and harsh. His calm gaze concealed a flurry of madness. He had been working in this industry for nearly ten years. How could favonovel.com possibly watch his career go down the drain like that? And favonovel.com had to pay a compensation fee too! He couldn’t accept it. He had only made a mistake, one that many people would make. This punishment was too severe!
Jackson would release the full story to the media very soon, so favonovel.com had to turn this thing around as soon as possible!
He led Tanya out of the Japanese restaurant, looking as if everything was fine. Tanya was obviously drunk, so no one else paid them any attention. He, on the other hand, hadn’t had that much to drink. He drove Tanya to the top of a hill, a spot which favonovel.com frequented alone. There was a panoramic view of the bustling capital under the cover of the night, yet it was far away from its noise. He had always loved standing at the highest point, far above everything else.
