Chapter 94
"Sam, wait up! Where are you going?"
"Robert, quit messing with me."
Sam kept walking, trying to dodge the conversation.
Robert followed closely, his expression turning serious.
"Sam, I'm not kidding. Shirley looks amazing!"
"If you really like her, you gotta be brave."
Sam stopped and turned to look at Robert, visibly moved.
But then he thought about his current situation and felt down. "But I have nothing right now!"
Robert nodded, understanding Sam's concerns.
"Look, Sam, love isn't something you can just sit around and wait for."
Hearing this, Sam felt a stir in his heart. He glanced at Robert but stayed silent.
Just then, Shirley walked up, and Alvin said, "Shirley, looks like we beat everyone here!"
"Yeah, we did!"
"I've seen your skills and tactics many times."
Alvin quickly interrupted, "Hey, don't say it like that! People might get the wrong idea!"
"What do you mean by skills and tactics? My wife is right here!"
Alvin's humorous remark made everyone burst into laughter.
"Come on, let me introduce you!"
"Shirley, this is my wife, Karen!"
Shirley and Karen exchanged a glance and smiled warmly.
Shirley extended her hand, "Karen, I'm Shirley!"
"I've heard Alvin talk about you so much!"
"You're even more beautiful than he described!"
"You should see the way his eyes light up when he talks about you!"
"We're all so envious of his happiness!"
"I've been wanting to meet you, Karen!"
Karen gently shook her hand. "Alvin loves to exaggerate, don't mind him!"
Shirley blinked in surprise. She had expected Karen to be gentle and reserved, but she was pleasantly surprised.
Karen was very open and straightforward, and Shirley liked dealing with people like that.
Shirley's eyes were filled with curiosity and admiration. She could understand why Alvin often talked about Karen.
Because she was indeed someone who was hard to ignore.
"Karen, I think you have a wonderful personality!"
Shirley warmly linked arms with Karen.
"Let me hold Karen's hand for some good luck!"
"My future husband has to be even better than Alvin."
Shirley's lively and straightforward nature made Karen feel very close to her.
She found that Shirley was not only beautiful on the outside but also had a very likable personality.
Alvin just smiled and said nothing.
Shirley playfully blinked and pulled Karen's hand, "Karen, let's go!"
"I've never been to The Epicurean Haven before!"
"Show me around!"
Alvin watched Shirley and Karen walk away, shaking his head with a helpless smile.
But the smile on his face couldn't hide his love for Karen.
He turned to Sam and Robert, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness.
Sam and Robert exchanged a smile, finding it rare to see Alvin at a loss.
Karen smiled, "Sure!"
"This place is really fun, and the food is great!"
"Don't worry about treating us, Alvin has done so much for us."
"It's our turn to treat you!"
"Karen, that's not how it works."
"I've made a lot of money with Alvin's help!"
"I owe him this meal for a long time, and I must repay it!"
"If you don't let me treat today, it would be really impolite!"
Karen was successfully amused by Shirley.
"Shirley, you're so adorable!"
Shirley tilted her head with a big smile, "Of course!"
Shirley looked at the little girl Karen was holding, Isabelle.
She blinked her big eyes and curiously asked, "Is this little beauty Isabelle?"
Isabelle, hearing her name, looked up curiously at the pretty woman.
Suddenly, she sweetly said, "You're so pretty!"
"Are you wearing a princess dress?"
Seeing such a cute Isabelle, Shirley laughed.
"Of course!"
"Isabelle, you'll grow up to be just as beautiful!"
"And have lots of beautiful princess dresses!"
Hearing this, Isabelle was very happy and gave Shirley a sweet smile.
Shirley's heart almost melted from the cuteness.
She had never been very fond of children, but she unexpectedly liked Isabelle a lot.
"Mommy, I want to hold Shirley's hand."
Hearing this, Karen smiled.
"Isabelle, do you want Shirley and not Mommy anymore?"
Smart Isabelle never chose; she wanted both.
"I want Mommy and Shirley!"
With that, she ran between the two and successfully held both their hands.
Isabelle's little hands held Karen and Shirley's, her face beaming with happiness.
Shirley looked at Isabelle's innocent smile, her heart swelling with a sweet, happy feeling.
She never thought she would like children so much one day.
"Isabelle is so smart, knowing not to choose just one," Shirley said with a gentle smile.
Karen also smiled, looking at Isabelle with motherly love in her eyes.
"Isabelle takes after her dad, always full of wild ideas."
Sam, watching from the side, suddenly felt very envious of Isabelle.
Isabelle didn't notice Sam's thoughts at all.
Led by a beautiful waitress, they walked through winding corridors to a private room.
Along the way, Shirley's eyes widened.
Although she knew she was elegant and beautiful now, she felt a bit awkward seeing so many beautiful waitresses at The Epicurean Haven.
Especially since the waitresses here were all top-notch in looks and figure.
Of course, the male waiters were also very handsome!
Shirley kept a straight face, but inside she was already thinking about how to get their contact information.
Back to The Epicurean Haven, this place was just too high-end.
The ambiance was exceptionally refined.
The garden was elegantly arranged, making people feel happy.
Shirley looked around curiously, just like Karen did the first time she came.
Shirley was full of curiosity about everything at The Epicurean Haven, constantly asking Karen questions.
Shirley's excitement was evident; she found everything at The Epicurean Haven fascinating.
Every decoration, every scene was so exquisite, making her feel like she was in a different world.
"Karen, this place is so beautiful, like a palace."
Shirley couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes wandering around, not wanting to miss any detail.
Karen smiled gently, understanding Shirley's feelings.
Because she felt the same way the first time she came to The Epicurean Haven.
"Karen, you don't know, I've wanted to come here for a long time but never had the chance."
Shirley said excitedly.
"Today, my wish finally came true."
Karen smiled, "Shirley, if you want to come in the future, just find Alvin. He can make it happen."
Hearing Karen's words, Shirley's eyes sparkled with joy.
"Really? That's great, Karen, thank you so much."
As they approached the private room, Shirley couldn't take her eyes off the view.
The private room had a great location, overlooking the beautiful courtyard, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Shirley walked into the room, immediately captivated by the decor.
The walls were adorned with exquisite paintings, the table set with fine china, every detail exuding elegance and taste.
It wasn't until she sat down and rested for a while that Shirley finally calmed down.
Then she couldn't help but exclaim, "The Epicurean Haven is just so beautiful and amazing!"
Hearing this, Robert smiled.
Shirley blinked and looked at Robert curiously.
Robert glanced at Sam intentionally, then politely and gentlemanly said, "I haven't introduced myself, I'm Robert!"
"One of Alvin's admirers!"
Hearing this, Alvin was already used to it and immune.
Shirley couldn't help but laugh, "It seems Alvin's charm is really strong!"
"Sam admires him, and so do you!"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Shirley!"
"And I do too!"
"I love dealing with beautiful women!"
"Especially someone as beautiful as you."
Sam quietly observed their interaction, feeling increasingly complicated.
He gloomily propped his head, thinking, Robert's words are really disgusting.
Shirley definitely wouldn't like this type of guy!
As he thought about it, Sam felt sad and down.
What if Shirley really liked Robert's type?
He was very worried that Shirley might develop feelings for Robert.
Sam's emotions were very mixed.
"Robert, you're so handsome, but your lines are so cheesy!"
Fortunately, Shirley didn't disappoint Sam.
Robert raised an eyebrow at Shirley's teasing, "I didn't expect that, Shirley!"
"You're so beautiful, but your attacks are so fierce!"
"Shirley, but I like making friends with straightforward people."
"You're too kind, too kind!"
"Stop flattering me, or I'll get shy!"
"Robert, you're funny, but I prefer sincere people."
"Shirley, you don't seem like someone who gets shy easily!"
"Sam told me earlier, Shirley, you're not only beautiful but also very capable at work!"
"But I wonder, Shirley, do you have a boyfriend?"
