Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Wrong Date?

It’s as I feared. Athena inhaled deeply, clutching her purse tightly as Antonio led her through the expensive restaurant, toward the most valued table, which he had reserved some minutes ago.

A table that could only be available to a person if he or she luckily reserved it months before. But this was Antonio, and to some degree she had always known he was a bit of a show-off.

Whose reservation had the hoteliers cancelled for them to have this dinner?

Meanwhile, she was surprised by the paparazzi crew hanging around, dressed like normal people, thinking she wasn’t aware of their presence–she wouldn’t have been if she was not who she was.

Did he invite them? She wondered, attempting a perfect smile when Antonio gentlemanly ushered her to her seat, before taking his.

She could hear, distinctly, though faint, camera snaps, and she could see the servers darting nervous glances—which were supposed to be subtle—between her table and the tables of the paparazzi.

She stylishly counted those in her view. Four.

From the same company? She exhaled and let go of her pause, meeting Antonio’s gaze.

He had been watching her for a while, enough for her to notice his strong attraction toward her.

Maybe she should have worn a more official-looking dress to douse any expectations?

Quit overthinking! She commanded herself when Antonio raised his left brow.

"Are you okay? You seem unsettled..."

He placed his hand on hers, which was on the table, rubbing circles on it. It should be calming, but she felt anything but that.

Not with the clicks of the camera going on, not with her overthinking and questioning herself why she was uncomfortable.

There was paparazzi, but so what?

Antonio was her boyfriend!

Yet, she couldn’t relax.

"I’m okay. Just tired." She finally replied, inhaling again, centering herself.

Immediately, a server approached them and dropped a menu before them.

"You are welcome, Mr. Antonio, Doctor Athena..."

A genuine smile. A too-wide smile.

A fan. Athena concluded, watching the lady watch her longer than necessary.

"Thank you." She said, with a smile of her own; amused, centered, when the lady blushed and hurried away.

Probably to inform her fellow waiters that Doctor Athena had spoken directly to her, even smiled.

"You have a lot of fans."
