"I didn't know that you would bring me here!" Penelope said delightfully.
"And I didn't know that you are also a regular here. How could we never meet by chance?" Jake asked with an excited smile too. He opened an umbrella for them, making sure Penelope wouldn't get wet.
"Well, even if I am a regular, I don't come here that much. This place is hard for my wallet," Penelope said as she shrugged her shoulders.
"Let's come here often then, my treat," Jake said.
"Hoho, I will accept that offer politely," Penelope walked down the front door stairs of the fancy restaurant they had just visited. She didn't think going out to dinner with Jake would be this much fun. They had almost the same interests and hobbies because of their line of work too.
Jake had an excellent sense of business, and Penelope liked that a lot. She listened to his work with Almandine over these five years and was unconsciously drawn into his interesting stories.
