章 27: A New Start

Astra acknowledged him with a nod before shifting her attention to the server who was pouring their wine. She offered him a warm smile and graciously accepted the glass. "Thank you."

As Alexander noticed the server's lingering gaze on Astra, he narrowed his eyes, growing increasingly irritated by what he perceived as the entire restaurant's unwanted attention. He had no patience for their server ogling Astra and decided to intervene.

In a stern tone, he warned the server, "Maintain professionalism, or I'll have a word with your manager."
