Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 396

Some people just couldn't stand to see others enjoying themselves. Sure enough, a server approached their table and tried to mediate: "Excuse me, but a guest over there says the noise at your table is too loud and it's affecting her meal."

Effie's eyebrows arched in disbelief. "Sorry, but the whole restaurant is full tonight. Why does that guest assume we're the ones disturbing her? It sounds like everyone's talking at the same volume, doesn't it?"

Effie couldn't help but suspect that someone was deliberately picking on them, especially since the server hadn't warned any other tables.

"Effie, let's just let it go. We'll keep our voices down," Shirley murmured, glancing around nervously. The others nodded, not wanting to cause Effie any trouble.

Effie turned back to the server. "From the moment we sat down, we've kept our voices down. If we'd really been making a scene, wouldn't you have come over sooner?"

The server looked uncomfortable but nodded. With guests on both sides, he could only try to keep the peace.

Effie sighed. "Fine. We'll be even more mindful of our table manners and keep our conversation quiet. But if that person keeps complaining, the problem's clearly hers, not ours. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Yes, that's fair. I'll go let her know." The server walked off toward a woman sitting with her back to Effie. Effie watched him speak to her and felt a strange flicker of recognition-she was sure she'd seen that silhouette before.
