Professor F

Chapter 86

They were dropped off at the entrance of a famous Italian restaurant, Flynn waiting by the entrance

with Eunice. August avoided his gaze and focused her attention at the restaurant. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

She remembered the place being packed during dinner time with its entrance lined up with arriving

guests wearing expensive clothes and riding luxurious cars.

She also remembered Gabi telling her parents is part of the restaurant owner's group of legal advisers.

And that the owner is an artist who painted the walls and ceiling making it look like you dined in a

museum—thus, the popularity of the place.

But tonight, the place looked empty, setting in a mood of intimacy for all of them as they entered. She

checked the day of the week on her phone and she wondered if there was anything special that day for

the place to be empty—

"Welcome!" A good looking man in his late twenties with a subtle beard wearing a white turtleneck long

sleeves, tattered blue jeans paired with his white sneakers approached them beaming with a smile.

Who is this gorgeous guy?

She watched Flynn shook hands with the man before he introduced them. "It's good to have you all

tonight. I'm Matteo de Luca. And this is my manager and executive chef—" He introduced the two

people standing next to him. "—I hope you'll enjoy what we prepared for tonight." He gives each of

them a glance. "Of course, the restaurant's all yours this evening." He added before he excused

himself and left.

Her mouth dropped open, same as Gabi's and Charlie's. He is the owner! Matteo de Luca himself!

She saw the shocked and amazed expression on their faces.

They freaking got the restaurant for themselves! Like Flynn just reserved the luxurious restaurant for

them!

And Gabi couldn't hide the happiness she felt seeing the gorgeous artist she was talking about before!

She sighed inside. She could see it in her beaming face!

The fangirl inside her friend is screaming!

They were escorted to the best table in the middle of the restaurant where they have a full view of the

painted ceiling and luxurious chandeliers.

She narrowed her eyes, knew Gabi was planning on something when she intentionally occupied the

seat between Eunice and Charlie, leaving the seat between Charlie and Flynn for her.

She had no choice. As she tried to calm her nerves, her mind won't stop wondering why Eunice is with

Flynn and why he wanted to have dinner with her when Eunice is in New York.

After taking their seats, the waiters came out from the kitchen wearing their black crisp vest staff

uniform, bringing the appetizers while the others served them red wine.

The awkward silence started to fill the air and she discreetly glances on Flynn's direction. She

immediately looked away blushing when their eyes met, realizing that he was looking at her the whole

time.

She cleared her throat as she reached for her glass of red wine while the others started eating the

appetizer.

"So—" Eunice broke the silence as she gives her a glance before looking at Flynn. "—I heard you're

working on a big project. Are things going well between the two of you?"

She almost choked on her wine and grabbed her table napkin to wipe her lips gently. Flynn seemed

unaffected with the question while she felt like someone's girlfriend is trying to interrogate her.

And she hated the feeling of the pain on her chest, thinking about them dating. She didn't think Eunice

is interested in what she has to say so she looked and waited for Flynn to speak.

He smiled as he sips from his glass of wine. "I enjoy working with amazing people."

Did he just compliment me in front of his girlfriend? In front of her friend and her senior at work?

She blushed as she tried to compose herself. Charlie smiled gratefully. "It's actually an honor to finally

work with you, Prince Ferguson. I was a scholar."

"I remember you." Flynn smiled at him. "You're a student in the Royal Academy, right?"

Charlie beamed in excitement, hearing that Flynn recognized him. "Oh, yes! I was. I didn't think you'd

remember me."

"I remember people especially those who were close to me." He answered and giving her a look.

"Right, August?"

Her eyes widened in shock as she meets his eyes and worriedly looked at Eunice who surprisingly

looked happy, smiling at her.

Is this girl crazy? She was practically upset earlier asking if they'll have dinner or what! Why is she

smiling at me right now while his boyfriend's giving another girl his attention?

"Oh, right! I saw the photo file that was sent earlier today. August used to work with you on this project

when she was still in freshman year, right?" Charlie clarified.

Flynn nodded. "Besides that—"

"Oh—did you date her?" Gabi asked Flynn on impulse.

She held her breath as she widened her eyes looking at Gabi, astounded with her friend's question.

Flynn's mouth dropped open and covered his smile by sipping from his glass of wine while his eyes

enjoyed her reaction, she's flushed.

"Dated?" Eunice asked. "Flynn told me you're doing good all these years. And I don't need to talk to

you about that night on Christmas."

Her eyebrows met in confusion while looking at Eunice before landing her gaze to Flynn who was

clearing his throat. "W—What do you mean? He left—" She paused, realizing there are other people

around and she's not ready to break down in front of them as she remembered that night Flynn left her

and disappeared from her life. "I mean, I don't think we have to talk about these things over dinner."

"Did Liam bother you again?"

She got even more confused. How did she know about Liam?
