    Adenauer reluctantly epted my joke.


    Adenauer: Good luck.


    I packed my things and got ready to leave work. When Charlotte saw me standing with Muriel, she


    looked at me in confusion, “Since when do you two have such a good rtionship?”


    Muriel’s personality was rtively reserved, and she looked a little nervous when facing Charlotte.


    “Justst night, when you used Li’s birthday party as the dance floor of your nightclub, we shared some


    opinions about food.” I lied casually.


    I knew Charlotte very well. She was just asking. If Muriel’s reaction was too serious, it would get her


    attention.


    She was a child with a special intuition.


    As expected, Charlotte shrugged and stuck out her tongue at my joke.


    “Well, I hope you enjoy your meal.” He turned around and went back to work.


    I turned to look at Muriel and smiled, “Let’s go.”


    Muriel didn’t lie to me. He found a newly opened Chinese restaurant.


    This was a self-service Chinese restaurant, and I could see the menu in Chinese, English and German


    at the door. ording to the menu, you could eat meat and vegetables in various sauces for only


    twenty euros per


    person.


    Muriel was very enthusiastic and offered to invite me to this meal.


    “Okay.” I tried to calm his nervousness, but it didn’t work.


    I had no choice but to ept his kindness.


    The good thing is that it only cost twenty euros.


    I found some red and green jelly, freshly baked shrimp croquettes, fried shrimp and chips as an entrée,


    and had a small cream cake for dessert. Muriel ordered a Mongolian barbecue and her soup was


    borscht.


    I was even amused when the waiter in a Western-style vest solemnly brought the delicate soup to the


    table with cutlery and small candles.


    “Remember what Li mentioned? There is no Mongolian BBQ in authentic Chinese food. But it has


    be a high-end special menu here.” I took the initiative to change the subject, trying to get Muriel to


    rx as much as possible.


    It was really hard for her to pretend to be calm all day.


    4 She seemed so tense now that anyone who saw her could tell that something was wrong with her.


    She was sitting in front of me with a knife and fork in her hand. Facing the topic I mentioned, he forced


    a smile and said, “When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do. This is a restaurant called


    Fresstempel.” “Fresstempel?” I didn’t understand this German word. “It means a pce of delights, and


    chi restaurantsWe very ssical German-style are often praised as such.” “I see.” All food was


    delivered quickly. Muriel and I had an unspoken agreement to try the food first. This was my first time


    trying Mongolian BBQ and it tasted pretty good. We both almost ate all the food. When I returned to my


    seat with a cool drink, I knew we were finally going to work.


    Muriel took a sip of her drink or rather let the liquid moisten her lips. His eyes were erratic, and I saw a


    trace of unspeakable shame on his face. I could probably guess how nervous she felt now, so I decided


    to help her, “You can trust me, Dr. Muriel.” “Chloe, just call me Chloe.” He finally looked up and met my


    gaze, “I’m sorry.” “You have nothing to apologize for.” “Don’t you think I’m cheap?” Chloe lowered her


    eyes again, avoiding my look.


    She took another sip of her drink, looking a little dejected.


    “No… I don’t know you or you two very well. Everyone has their special situation, and I wouldn’t make


    assumptions about it.”


    I already imagined it.


    If this had happened three years ago, he might have been filled with righteous indignation and belittled

    Chloe a little. But too many things had happened beyond my expectations.


    I hadn’t even handled my rtionship with two men well, which made my


    life a mess.


    Now, I wasn’t qualified to point the finger at other people’s love lives.


    “Lester is my college ssmate and my first boyfriend.” Chloe’s words caught my attention.


    I quickly interrupted her, “You don’t need to tell me these things.”


    “No, I want to tell you. Olive, these secrets have been suppressed in my heart for too long. I can’t find


    any way to say them. Can you hear me?”


    Chloe’s eyes filled with tears in an instant, I was shocked, but I immediately reacted and handed her


    the handkerchief in


    my hand.


    “Thank you.” She took the handkerchief, lowered her head to wipe her tears, and suppressed her


    emotions again. I looked at her and didn’t speak again.


    I could empathize with Chloe.


    Three years ago, when I first heard about Vincent’s deception, if I hadn’t had Cinder by my side and


    she had quit her busy job to Staying by my side and supporting all the decisions I made, I probably


    would have been in the same situation as Chloe.


    Thinking of this, I suddenly wanted to kiss Cinder, my best friend.


    I took the initiative to sit next to Chloe and held her hand gently, “You can tell me at any time. When the


    sun rises tomorrow, I will forget all this forever.”
