Ariana slowly approached the man. When she got close enough, she saw that he was wearing a mask, which only revealed his sharp chin. @
He leaned against the back of his chair leisurely, half of his body cloaked in darkness.
He seemed a little familiar but she wasn’t sure if she was imagining it.
Feeling doubtful, she approached him and was about to say something when the man said, “Quiet,” without raising his head. His voice was deep and a little hoarse. The feeling of familiarity made Ariana cry out, “It’s you!”
This was the mysterious man who had saved her twice already. And he was the man who helped her relieve some of the effect of the aphrodisiac that night!
Who would have thought it was Mr. H?
Awaiter pushed a food trolley inside the room, and the man pointed to the seat beside him. “Sit down.”
She obediently did so.
She felt herself become uneasy after discovering this was her mysterious savior.
Soon, the waiter served them exquisite food and wine before leaving again quietly.
The movie was still playing. It seemed to be building to the climax.
The man watched the screen and leisurely drank the wine.novelbin
Ariana’s senses became heightened in the dim lit room, and she could distinctly feel his breath and smell his scent.
Fiddling with her dress, Ariana was somewhat absent-minded. She had a lot of questions for him but wasn’t sure where to begin.
It was only when the movie music finally faded away that Ariana turned to look at his face. “Why did you ask me to come here? What do you want me to do?”
He took a sip of wine, his eyes unreadable. “Do you know what this movie is about?”
His voice sounded strange, almost mechanical, and she began to wonder whether she was experiencing an auditory hallucination.
Ariana looked at the screen, paying more attention now. “Is it a movie about love? | haven’t seen it.”
“Love? Kind of,” the man replied with a chuckle. “A woman gave up her riches to elope with a poor boy, for so-called love, and then helped build her husband up to be successful. But when he became rich and powerful, he started to dislike his wife.” @ As he spoke, he placed down his wine glass and looked at Ariana from under his mask. His cold eyes were frightening.
“The woman kept waiting at home in their manor like a lunatic. But then her husband went into trouble and she was the only one who stayed by his side.”
“What happened in the end? Did she win her husband back?” Ariana asked, frowning.
“In the end, the husband was moved by her show of love, he repented for his mistakes and remained loyal for the rest of his life. Her hard work paid off in the end. She got the love she always wanted. What a moving story!” @
