What did she mean YOUR Mr. Roberts!
What is she trying to do?
She had already called out to me, so it was impossible for me to pretend that I didn't hear her. I raised my hand and waved at him weakly as a greeting.
I thought she was just going out to show her face but I didn't expect her to invite them to join us in the restaurant.
She addressed the waiter very enthusiastically, "Excuse me, please help me to add two more sets of cutlery. Thank you!"
After that, she amicably invited both of them to sit at our table.
The stools at the restaurant were very short. So it was awkward for girls who were wearing skirts to sit down comfortably.
When Naomi noticed that, she was apologetic, "I'm really sorry. I didn't consider that Miss Zanes was wearing a dress. I will ask someone to bring a chair."
Before anyone could stop her, she had already gone to find help. When she came back, she was carrying a tall chair. However, the dining table was not tall enough to accommodate it. A beautiful woman like Rowane, sitting on a taller chair like that, looked somewhat out of place.
Moreover, she'd dolled up that day, Her dress highlighted her figure by leaving her shoulders and back bare. She stood out a lot in this small restaurant.
The restaurant was far from the high- end, fine dining restaurants where most people would've been expected to be refined. Most of the people here were either trying to keep a low profile or genuinely ordinary people.
Someone like Rowane attracted a lot of attention. It was not obscene, but simply curiosity. People liked to look at beautiful women.
It was inevitable that there would be some embarrassment.
"Ah!" Naomi deliberately made an exaggerated expression, "My mother said that a girl must have a certain standard for her lover. I think that if you are beautiful and talented, you should find someone like Mr. Roberts. That will be a good match. If you don't believe me, you can look at Arianna and Mr. Roberts, they are a very good match when they are together."
What was this brat implying?
Rowane gave a small nod and her face twitched uneasily.
Since she didn't answer, Naomi turned and started chatting with Hendrix, "Mr. Roberts, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Naomi, and I'm Arianna's very close friend."
She shook hands with Hendrix. Fortunately, they were able to talk.
Thank goodness for Naomi the chatterbox. For the whole meal, she talked non-stop, not caring that we contributed very little to the conversation.
