Nora was attracted by someone familiar at first sight. "Rose, look, isn't that Mr. Stevens? Why is he here?"
Rose followed Nora's gaze and saw Oscar. No, it should be Oca, who sat in the window seat, with two people she never met before.
"Nora, you've mistaken. He's not Mr. Stevens. He's Mr. Moore," Rose corrected her.
"Oh, it's Mr. Moore." Nora smiled slightly. "He is so similar to Mr. Stevens, so I always think he is Mr. Stevens."
"Have a seat first. I'll pour honey water for you." Rose helped Nora sit down in the nearest seat.
After Rose helped Nora settle down, she went to the reception and asked the waiter to bring honey before she personally prepared honey water for Nora.
She read from a book that drinking honey water can help relieve hangovers, so she decided to give it a try.
It was just that while she concentrated on boiling water for Nora, Nora got up when she was not there and went straight to the table where Oca was at.
Nora stood still at the table where Oca was at. Her body blocked some of the light and cast a shadow on the dining table, attracting everyone's gaze.
Oca looked up slightly but only glanced at Nora whose face was slightly flushed. His gaze was short, so short that it was as if his eyes never swept over her.
Others stared at Nora. After all, Nora was a beauty from head to toe.
"Hey beauty, do you know us?" A man asked boldly.
Nora smiled charmingly before picking up the glass of red wine on the table and raising it to Oca. "Mr. Moore, I hereby propose a toast to you."
"Mrs. Way, you are drunk. Don't push yourself too hard." Oca ignored Nora's toast.
When the other two heard how Oca addressed Nora, the disappointment was obvious in their eyes. It turned out that she was already married. What a pity.
Nora frowned because of how Oca addressed her. "My name is Nora Cooper. You can call me Nora."
"Since Ms. Cooper is married to Mr. Way, and because of coverture, I should address you as Mrs. Way." Nora disagreed with Oca's logic.
Nora looked at his sharp facial features and cold expression. "How old-fashioned. Is Mr. Moore from ancient times? It's the 21st century. Women don't belong to men anymore."
"Since Mr. Moore doesn't want to call me Ms. Cooper, you can call Boss Cooper."
The other two's eyes were filled with doubt. Why this title?
"What business does Ms. Cooper do?" Someone asked.
"I opened this restaurant. This is the head one." Nora propped against the table with one hand and held the glass in the other, but her eyes were fixed on Oca's straight nose. "So, it's perfectly appropriate to call me Boss Cooper. So, I thank Mr. Moore for coming to this restaurant as the boss."
Oca gently and gracefully wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin while the expression on his face remained the same.
"Mr. Moore, I'm tired from holding the glass. It seems that you are not willing to do me the honour and have a drink with me?" Nora did not show a trace of anger.
