Zoe arrived at the hotel as planned, only to find that Eugene was the only one there. Just as she was about to leave, she received a message from Nina.

Nina wrote, "Things are already out in the open. If you really don't have any feelings for him, you should be clear about that tonight. But if you have even the slightest interest, maybe you should give it a chance. Who knows? He might turn out to be the right one for you." Being given advice by someone younger left Zoe feeling both amused and a bit annoyed. But Nina had a point. Eugene wasn't a bad person.

She decided to stay, thinking, "Might as well treat it as getting to know a new friend."

With that thought, she confidently sat across from Eugene and said, "They probably aren't coming. Mr. Lowe, do you mind if I apologize on their behalf?"

"That's not necessary. Honestly, I wasn't looking for an apology. I just wanted to see you, nothing more," Eugene replied, his eyes betraying his calm tone.

Tonight, Zoe seemed even more beautiful and captivating to him. He felt like he had discovered a rare and precious flower, one he couldn't resist getting closer to.

Suppressing his excitement, Eugene instructed the waiter to bring out the food. Once the dishes were served, he went on to explain the preparation of each dish, sharing stories behind some of them.

Having traveled widely since childhood, Eugene had experienced and learned much more than his peers. He had a knack for picking up on unique details, making him well-versed in these little insights.

After listening to him, Zoe couldn't help but feel a bit inadequate. She hadn't realized that many dishes had such rich stories behind them. She had always thought chefs created them just to show off their skills.
