Chapter 201

Nicole had a feeling something was wrong.

“You wouldn’t dare to see Eliana, so you use me as a cover-up, would you?”

Nicole observed that something must have happened between Eliana and Maurice.

Instead of answering her question, Maurice called Leo into his office.

“Call the restaurant I mentioned earlier and reserve a table.”

“Yes, Mr. Moran.” Leo tried hard to suppress his curiosity and left the office without looking at Nicole.

“Will you go with me?” Maurice asked provocatively, looking at Nicole.

“Of course.”

Nicole accepted Maurice’s invitation to see what would happen between Maurice and Eliana when they

met again.

They arrived at the Moonlight restaurant shortly. Nicole went into a trance for a moment as she looked

up at the huge signage.

It brought back memories of her first show. She played a walk-on part in a music video for a song

called Moonlight.

Maurice gently opened the door and asked, “Aren’t you going in?”

Nicole regained her composure and asked, “Does Eliana work here?”

Maurice nodded. “Yes, she is the waitress here.”

“Let’s go.”

Nicole followed Maurice into the restaurant and sat at the table Leo had reserved.

A waiter came over with the menu.

“Sir, madam, what would you like to order?”

Nicole took the menu and inadvertently glanced at it. In an instant, she was completely dumbfounded.

There were special cocktails.

The Day We Met, a cocktail made of whisky, tequila, and other flavored spirits, was one of them.

The second cocktail, Midsummer Night’s Dream, was made with absinthe and gin and garnished with

orange rind.

The third one was called Vinegar.

When Nicole saw the names of the cocktails, she was transported back in time.

Nicole once met a man. The man’s favorite drink was whisky, while she preferred tequila. The man

considered himself fortunate to have met Nicole, so he concocted a cocktail with whisky and tequila.

Nicole told him about her dreams while eating oranges on a midsummer night. When he saw Nicole

kissing other men while filming, he always got jealous. Thus, he created a cocktail that tasted sour and

had a complex flavor and named it Vinegar.

“Who owns this restaurant?”

Nicole clutched the menu with both hands. Her face was now pale, and her eyes were burning with

rage.

Maurice looked at her expressionlessly. “You have figured it out already, haven’t you?”

Indeed, Nicole already knew the restaurant’s owner when she saw the names of the cocktails.

She knew she needed to get up and leave right away, but she remained immobile.

She didn’t want to leave the restaurant. She wanted to see him.

“Nicole, don’t run away anymore,” Maurice said coldly.

He then stood up and walked away.

Nicole remained in her seat.

Maurice exited the dining area, looking for Eliana.

Rosalie came over and asked, smiling, “Maurice, are you here for Eliana? We have a lot of guests

today. She’s been very busy. I just saw her going to the storeroom to get some wine.”

“Thank you, Ms. Gorden.”

Maurice then headed to the storeroom.

Eliana was in the storeroom getting the wine ordered by guests. Because of Alissa’s departure, she

was forced to perform the tasks for two people and became extremely busy.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure not far away.

“Who is that?”

Eliana became alert all of a sudden. She slowly walked toward the figure until she finally saw the

person’s face.
