Chapter 441

Mirabella arched an eyebrow ever so slightly as she moved forward, only to be startled by the sound of a thud behind her, followed by a rather pitiful yelp. She paused for a moment, languidly turning her head, but all she could see was the smiling face of the restaurant manager standing behind her, his towering frame blocking everything else from view.

“Can I do anything for you?” the manager asked, his voice a blend of deference and warmth.

Mirabella touched the tip of her nose, gave him a two–second glance, and replied, “No, nothing.”

The manager’s smile did not waver. A chorus of grumbling came from behind him, which he seemed to ignore completely.

Mirabella tilted her head with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile, then shifted her gaze away and walked towards her booth.
