Chapter 2 Night Rendezvous
Carlo hesitated for a moment before getting up, his smile not quite genuine.
“Kathryn, let’s be practical. My legs have only just healed, and our business is just beginning to stabilize. Considering these matters now would only divert our focus. We can discuss it at another time.
“Hey, since you didn’t cook today, let me treat you to a meal. How about we go to that restaurant you talked about earlier?”
A heavy sadness settled in my heart as Carlo helped me up from the sofa and led me out for dinner.
The exclusive restaurant he chose had been immensely popular when it first opened, with reservations almost impossible to secure.
I once asked a friend to reserve two seats and enthusiastically invited Carlo, only for him to decline, citing work commitments.
Unexpectedly, he was now bringing me here willingly.
Unfortunately, nearly every dish he chose conflicted with my allergies or dietary needs.
My heart sank further and further.
I knew his likes and dislikes as if they were my own, but Carlo seemed to have forgotten mine completely.
After placing his order, Carlo continued to text on his phone, a faint smile on his face, appearing quite cheerful. He didn’t even realize when all the dishes were served.

I observed him quietly, not saying a word.

Eventually, he abruptly put his phone down. “Kathryn, go ahead and start eating. I need to use the restroom.”
Suppressing my sadness, I nodded. As soon as he left, I discreetly followed him.
Carlo didn’t go to the restroom. Instead, he headed toward the elevator lobby.
The elevator came to a stop on the floor with the VIP private rooms.
I clenched my teeth and tiptoed up the stairs. I just so happened to see him go into one of those rooms.
As the door shut, I caught a glimpse of Monica’s face through the crack.
“Carlo! You made it!”
This book had been added on your bookshelf.
Monica’s voice was all excited, and then I heard a gross, wet sound.
I stumbled back downstairs and leaned against the wall in the hallway. I threw my head back, trying my best to keep the tears from falling.
“So that’s why he brought me to this restaurant today…” I thought, the realization dawning on me.
He wasn’t content with seeing her during the day. He had to hook up with her at night too.
My phone buzzed. Carlo had sent a message.
“Kathryn, something came up at the office. I gotta go. Head home after dinner and be careful.”
Then a weird message came from Monica.

“Kathryn, why can’t you make Carlo happy? He’s so into it!”
She sent a picture of them kissing in a car.

In the dim light, they were kissing super passionately, with drool hanging between their lips.
