chapter 739
Regardless, Alexander was in no hurry. He could take it slow.
Both his car and Charmine''s pulled over by the restaurant''s entrance.
Charmine got out of the car, not bothering to wait for him as she marched into the restaurant.
However, the staff by the entrance lowered his head politely and said," Pardon, Madam, but only couples can enter the restaurant."
Only couples? She could not enter alone, even with a ticket?
As she was frowning, Alexander walked to her side. "I hope we can enter now?"
"Yes, you may. Please, follow me." The staff led them in politely.
Charmine stopped in her tracks. Entering with Alexander? What if Anthony saw them?
Knowing Anthony, he might...
Alexander walked beside her and said in a half-whisper, "Don''t worry, I''ll find an excuse to leave after sending you in there."
Since Charmine was already in AL, she could not just leave like that. 1
After a moment of hesitation, she marched ahead. Since Alexander was only sending her in, Anthony
would not be able to see them.
The staircase of the underwater restaurant was structured like a spiral. The lower they went, the bluer
the sea became with more fishes swimming back and forth. 1
In the lobby, many coral seaweeds were used as decorations. Even the pirs were made of
transparent ss, as if this was an underwater pce.
They passed by the lobby and arrived at the dining area.
There were nine areas separated by ss panels. The upper half was a transparent ss while the
lower half was of matte ss. One could vaguely see the couples inside each area while retaining their
privacy.
Charmine and Alexander sat down in one room. She nced around and saw that the room to their
right happened to be of Anthony and Waverly*s.
They sat across one another with a candle on the table. They were having a candlelight dinner.
Meanwhile, Alexander looked at her and asked, "Are you sure you don’t want me to stay and
apany you? Dining alone in this cold underwater space can get lonely..."
"I''ve got thick clothes on, I''m not cold," Charmine remained calm as she sat before the table.
Alexander pretended to let out a long and sad sigh, "What a heartless woman...! I''ll leave now."
Not staying any longer, Alexander stood up and left.
Seeing his retreating form, Charmine’s eyes darkened.
He was not apletely bad guy, but that did not change the fact he ruined her due to one mission
back then. He ruined the beauty of a teenager’s youth. 1
To her, what he did was equivalent to a rapist. She would never treat him with respect after what he did
to her back then.
s, Alexander returned to the table not long after, much to Charmine’s chagrin.
Alexander exined, "I don''t have a choice. The staff outside said that couples must leave at the same
time. Restaurant rules."
Charmine was baffled.
How were there so many rules in this restaurant?
"Alright, let''s go." She stood up, ready to leave.
She would not dine with Alexander.
However, the staff happened to be bringing some appetizers. "Sir, Madam, this is theplimentary appetizers provided by the restaurant.
Please have a look at the menu."
The serving staff handed two tablets over.
"Can we not? We need to leave now," insisted Charmine.
The serving staff looked at Charmine and Alexander. They just got here; it was apparent that they had an argument of sorts.
The owner of this restaurant had established the goal of making sure every couple would be happy. Thepany had the intention of
matching up couples and resolving their conflicts.
She smiled politely. "My apologies, but the restaurant has the policy of not leaving a room empty to minimize the wastage of natural

resources. We have the rule stating that every guest must stay for at least thirty-nine minutes before leaving. We hope the two of you can
understand and enjoy the view of AL Dining Experience." 3
Charmine was speechless.
Did that mean she had to dine with Alexander?
What if Anthony found out?
