World News
"In our latest news for today, Royale restaurant known for its exquisite dishes only a few people have had the chance to try, finally announced why they have been calling and canceling reservations for the past two days."
World News
"It turns out the owner of the restaurant will be making an appearance for the first time in public, booking the restaurant for the whole evening today."
World News
"Which is unfortunate for those who had to din there this evening..."
Monica Thames
*clutch phone*
"Why did it have to be today of all days? I spent the whole day yesterday papering, and for what!?"
*glance back at news on phone*
World News
"People are now wondering who is the owner of this multi-millionaire restau—"
Monica Thames
*tossed phone on the floor.*
Harold
*fix Gareth tie*
"All done sir. "
Gareth Nelson (ML)
"Have you made copies of the contracts I gave to you earlier."
Harold
"They are in the car, sir."
Gareth Nelson (ML)
"Alright, take me downstairs."
Wheel Gareth out the closet room and pass his bedroom Harold halted. Just as he pushed Gareth into the hall, the door opposite them open.
Harold
(I'm so used to seeing her with caramel hair, I almost took Lady Simon for a stranger. So this is her real hair color.)
Gareth Nelson (ML)
*clear throat*
"We should get going."
Outside of Gareth Mention
Gareth Nelson (ML)
"What is it?"
Simon
"Nothing, I just realized it's are first time riding in the same vehicle together."
Glancing out the car window, Simon was unaware Gareth's gaze was still on her.
Meanwhile, at the Royale Restaurant front entrance.
World News
"This is World News, approximately thousands have been standing in front of the Royal restaurant all day waiting, just to get a glimpse of the owner. Which begs the question everyone is asking, is this really the first time the owner has been seen in public or not?"
Monica Thames
* take eyes of the TV*
"This isn't fair, Vance. We should be on our way to that restaurant. Do they have any idea whose reservation they canceled?"
Vance Nelson
"I know how much you want to eat at that restaurant today. My men couldn't find anything about the owner, but as soon as we know who it is, I'll make sure we won't make another reservation there."
Monica Thames
*eyes lit up*
"You're right, I'm sure if the owner knows who we are it won't be a problem."
Background Paparazzi
"Over there, I think that's the vehicle."
Upon hearing this, both Monica and Vance quickly turn their gaze to the TV.
World News
"This just end, the moment everyone has been waiting for, after 15 years."
In anticipation, the crowd watches as the driver moved to open the backseat door. The second Simon stepped out, a collective hush fell over the crowd, their breath caught in their throats by her stunning beauty. However, when a wheelchair glide out from the shadows of the car’s interior, the crowd’s eyes widened in shock.
Monica Thames
*Drop remote*

Monica Thames
"T—that.... That's my ex."
