Chapter 938 Dissatisfied with Phillipe
"We can still see the ocean." Abella's gaze drifted out the window. The midday winter sun cast a golden glow over the sea, making it appear even bluer than the sky.
Phillipe noticed her at that moment, her eyes clear and bright, reflecting a different kind of beauty, one that was as mesmerizing as the ocean itself.
If only time could freeze at this moment, how wonderful would that be?
He could quietly admire her beautiful face and share this happy moment with her.
Suddenly, a violinist in the distance began playing a powerful opening note, the high-pitched sound breaking the silence and beauty of the moment.
Abella saw the violinist walking towards them while playing, perhaps not expecting Dennis to have arranged such a performance. She smiled at Phillipe, her smile as radiant and warm as the sunlight on the sea.
"The violinist showed up just in time, right when they had nothing to say." Louie couldn't help but praise. "Ms. Medici doesn't know this was arranged by you, Mr. Medici, yet she smiled at Mr. Bourbon, which means she is pleased with this segment."
Dennis watched them, feeling a bit jealous. If only Abella would smile at him like that.
The impression he had left on Abella before was terrible. If only they could meet again for the first time.
"The piece Dennis chose sounds a bit unusual," Phillipe said, unable to hold back a chuckle as he looked at Abella.
Typically, for a date, Dennis should have chosen a romantic, gentle piece.
But this piece was grand and majestic, like a thousand horses galloping past.
While Abella listened to the music, Phillipe secretly took photos of her with his phone.
When the piece ended, Abella nodded to the violinist in thanks, and the violinist gracefully retreated.
Phillipe flipped through the photos on his phone. Each one could be a wallpaper, they were so perfect.
Whether it was Abella's face, the lighting, or the setting, everything was just too beautiful.
Sitting in the corner, Dennis wore a sullen expression. "What's Phillipe doing? On such a romantic date, he's playing with his phone? Is his phone more attractive than Abella's?"
Louie glanced over as well. Phillipe was indeed looking at his phone the whole time, and Abella, seemingly with nothing to do, took a sip of lemon water and pulled out her own phone.
"Do they have nothing to talk about? It's their first date, and they don't know what to say, so they both look a bit awkward." Louie speculated.
"Phillipe is terrible at creating an atmosphere," Dennis said unhappily.
Leaving Abella alone like that was a bit much!
Phillipe sent all the photos he had just taken to Abella so she could save them, and said, "I made the first photo our chat background."
"The second one is better," Abella said, looking at their chat window and giving her opinion.
"I used the second one as my screensaver, the third one as my phone wallpaper, and I'm planning to make a collage of the rest for my computer wallpaper. That way, I can see you every time I open my computer."
Dennis and Louie watched them chatting while looking at their phones, unable to help but feel anxious for them!
"What is Phillipe doing? Not even looking at her while talking?" Dennis wanted to go over and slam the table, questioning if he even knew how to date!
"Mr. Medici, calm down. Maybe Mr. Bourbon is running out of things to say and is looking up topics online while chatting?"
"Is he that clueless? At his age, and he can't even hold a conversation?"
Louie thought, 'Mr. Medici, you can't hold a conversation either, often leaving people speechless, but I don't dare say anything, only thinking it silently.'
"Get the food served," Dennis said, a bit unhappy.
Louie quickly messaged the restaurant manager, and soon, the manager personally wheeled out a small cart.
Dennis saw that Phillipe had only ordered four dishes and found it hard to believe, quickly sending Louie to find out.
"Mr. Medici, it's just four dishes," Louie asked the manager, and couldn't believe it either. Was Phillipe really that stingy? This was a date with Abella.
If it were Dennis, he would have ordered a full table, filling it to the brim.
"Is Phillipe always this frugal? If Abella ends up with him, how tough will her life be?" Dennis was truly astonished and even more displeased. "Tell the manager to bring out all the best food and drinks for them."
"Yes, Mr. Medici." After replying to his order, Louie thought, 'Thank goodness Mr. Medici is here, otherwise, Ms. Medici will be so disappointed.'
A first date, and not being valued by the other person.
While avoiding waste and being frugal was a virtue, this was a bit too much.
Phillipe was being a bit excessive. On a date with a girl, he should at least order a few more dishes.
And he was the richest man in the world, but it turned out all that money was saved up.
"Isn't this a bit too little?" Phillipe added some food to Abella's plate, looking at the four dishes on the table. If Abella hadn't stopped him earlier, he would have ordered more.
"It's already a bit much." Abella didn't want to waste food, and besides, it was a bit early for lunch, so she wasn't very hungry.
"This restaurant only has a few dishes you usually like. The others are either too heavy, have ingredients you don't like, or are meant to be paired with alcohol..."
In short, many were unsuitable, so Phillipe didn't order more.
Dennis saw him adding food to Abella's plate, and his anger subsided a bit.
At least he knew how to serve the girl, not a complete idiot.
"You should eat too," Abella added some food to his plate as well, a gesture that not only moved Phillipe but also made Dennis a bit envious.
He wished he could eat the food Abella served.
At that moment, the restaurant manager, along with two waiters, wheeled out three small carts, adding a total of thirty-two dishes to their table.
Abella looked at Phillipe, who immediately explained, "It wasn't me."
They both realized it must have been Dennis who noticed they had ordered too few and added more dishes for them.
Thinking this, they shared a knowing smile.
"Will Ms. Medici think Mr. Bourbon ordered the dishes and find him generous, being very pleased with him?" Louie guessed, still thinking Phillipe was quite stingy.
"Does Dennis think I'm stingy?" Phillipe chuckled, feeling his image was ruined. He would need to explain this to Dennis later.
"If you don't like these dishes, you can try something else."
Despite saying this, Phillipe noticed that the dishes Dennis had added were not ones Abella usually liked.
Some were too greasy, some were raw and cold, and in this weather, he worried Abella might get sick...
Plus, with Abella's injuries, she should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, so he didn't know which dish to serve her first.
