"Zach isn't a waiter. He's a supervisor at a company." Elvira felt her father was being absurd.

"Don't lie, Elvira. Calvin and I saw it. You went to Vilzell Restaurant yesterday. Everyone has to leave but not you and Zach. Your husband must be a waiter there. Judy smiled but looked triumphant.

Elvira was bewildered. "Zach and I had lunch there yesterday" How ridiculous. They refused to acknowledge Zach could dine at Vilzell, so they assumed he was a waiter.

"Elvira, you're being ridiculous. Vilzell Restaurant was booked yesterday. Are you saying it was Zach? At least come up with something believable. Calvin looked at Zach disdainfully.

"Yeah, Elvira. If you're ashamed to admit it, say it. Everyone will know eventually" Judy covered her mouth and snickered. Zach grabbed Elvira's hand, saying, "Don't waste your time. They will never admit it." Elvira agreed. She only cared about Marsh. Why bother about the others? It would only make her miserable.

"Elvira, you and Mr. Gilbert seem to get along. Why agreed to go on a blind date with Mr. Bacchus then? Do you know, Mr. Gilbert?" Amber disliked seeing Elvira and Zach so affectionate. She couldn't let Elvira be happy, even if Zach was handsome and useless. Elvira could only marry someone old, ugly, and abusive.
