Following that, there were no exchanges of glances between the two.
Charlotte Thompson was clear, if they kept going on like this, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the meal. So she decided to just focus on eating.
Justin Battleson also understood Charlotte's concerns and agreed with her choice, gracefully focusing on his meal as well.
An attractive couple, they ate together.
Under the warm glow of the room's lights, there was a palpable sense of peace and tranquility.
This meal helped ease the awkward tension between them.
It also gave Charlotte time to think about what Justin had said.
Maybe Justin wasn't as bad as she thought, perhaps he genuinely trusted her?
With this thought in mind, Charlotte found herself somewhat puzzled.
Then, another server came in with more dishes.
Both of them remained silent as they ate.
Only after the server had left did Justin speak.
"I know what you're worried about."
On hearing this, Charlotte raises her head: "What?"
