The Hidden Paradise (2)

In the heart of the Hidden Paradise, a restaurant known more for its discretion than its signage, Josephine led Wang Xiao into a world that felt detached from the bustle of the city.

They were greeted by Liana, the owner, whose presence was as enchanting as the ambiance of her establishment.

Liana's eyes, a deep hazel, sparkled with the warmth of a long-time friend as she embraced Josephine.

"Liana, this is Wang Xiao," Josephine introduced, her voice carrying a note of pride.

Liana extended a hand, her bracelets clinking melodically. "Pleasure to meet you. Josephine here is not just a friend but an inspiration. Her visits always bring life to this place." Her voice was a melodic blend of warmth and sincerity.

Josephine laughed softly, a hint of redness on her cheeks. "Liana, stop. You'll make him think I'm here every day!"
