บท 371: A HUNDRED TIMES WORSE

ASTRID was walking with Ellis, Cassius, and Nicol. They were currently in a  high-end restaurant to eat dinner. It just somehow happened after the screen test ended. Frankly, Astrid wanted to decline when Cassius invited them but he couldn't in good conscience do it when Nicol was looking at him with those big puppy eyes. 

And so they're here.

Because of this, he hadn't yet explained to Ellis his connection to the Grimaldis. Well, at least the superficial side of it. He could feel the other giving him the look that said 'you better give me proper explanation later'. Astrid could only scratch his cheek seeing that. 

The restaurant's manager leading them stopped in front of a door and opened it. Then he turned to them and gestured for them to enter. "Please, enjoy your dinner."

After respectfully bowing to Cassius, the manager turned around and left.
