CHAPTER 243

"Let's eat, shall we?"

Skai nodded and allowed him to draw the seat for her to sit.

"Can I take your orders, sir?" One of the waitresses asked, stealing side glances at Damien.

"We'll have the special dish on the menu. Bring some red wine and ice water as well. Also, bring the bill, once we are done."

"Yes, sir." She flashed him her killer smile and then proceeded to place their order.

"You didn't even give me a chance to choose," Skai complained, glaring at him.

"You'd have picked the same anyway. Plus, the chef here makes the best steaks in the city. Trust me, you'll like it."

"Fine. But next time, I get to choose," she declared.

"Whatever you want, dear."

"I hope you're not placating me, Damien."

"Never."

Skai eyed him warily. "Sure. I'm keeping an eye on you."

"Of course. Anything to make you happy."

"Wow. You're really trying to be good, aren't you?"
