Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Once they were seated, the atmosphere was notably awkward for the three who weren’t Yvette, Jeremiah, or Andrew.

Tobias hesitated as he sank into his chair, regretting his decision to join the group. He hadn’t realized he’d be tagging along for a student’s meal, and now it felt a bit uncomfortable.

Bonnie had intended to sit next to Yvette, but Jeremiah shot her warning look.

Before she could settle into her seat, she awkwardly wiped the chair with her hand, then pretended everything was fine and sat down across from Yvette, casting a longing glance her way. She didn’t have the courage to confront Jeremiah, so she reluctantly distanced herself from Yvette.

When the waiter knocked and entered, he astutely handed the menu to Jeremiah. Jeremiah took it and naturally passed it to Yvette. She casually accepted it and then turned to Tobias, politely asking, “Mr. Sunderland, what would you like to eat?”

Tobias smiled and replied that Yvette could order whatever she liked. Nodding in acknowledgment, Yvette nearly ordered everything on the menu. Jeremiah and Andrew were already used to this; during their last visit, they had ordered a similar amount, only for Yvette to finish it all by herself.

Bonnie, assuming Yvette was trying to ensure they wouldn’t go hungry, quickly said, “Yve, we can’t eat this much!”

Yvette looked up, handed the menu back to the server, and said nonchalantly, I ordered all this for myself. You can order whatever you want.”

John, who was in the middle of taking a sip of water, nearly spat it out upon hearing her words. It dawned on him that Yvette planned to consume all that food by herself, and the sheer volume of it left him utterly shocked.

“Ms. Zeller, are you sure you can eat all these dishes?” Tobias asked.

Yvette lowered her head slightly, contemplating the question seriously before nodding. “Sure I can; the food isn’t that much.”

Tobias was taken aback. He glanced at the long list on the menu, momentarily at a loss for words, and finally managed an awkward laugh. “Well, having a big appetite is a good thing”
