"We'd like to sit here, no problem, right?" the woman replied.
Her tone actually sounded polite so it was comfortable to listen to, which was very different from last night. Maybe she was drunk last night too.
She looked at the table, and added, "don't worry, I'll pay for everything I eat. Oh, no, I'll pay for everything including the ones for you guys."
"Can't you wait? I don't want to be bothered with two strangers," Bella replied, immediately refusing even though she spoke politely.
The woman was speechless at that, and seemed unsure of what to say.
Of course, she could have said more, but she wasn't that kind of person either.
In the end, she turned her gaze to Arthur.
This time, she scrutinized his face, thinking that he did have a very strong attraction that her boyfriend seemed to lack.
However, she had very written feelings for her boyfriend, so she only recognized Arthur's attractiveness, but was not really interested.
"Do you also mind us sitting here?" she asked Arthur.
"No," Arthur replied casually.
He wasn't just talking, of course. The truth was that he didn't really care.
Without waiting for her to speak again, he started eating, and stopped paying attention to her.
"Hehehe, your boyfriend doesn't mind, so now it's no problem, right?" The woman suddenly laughed, looking at Bella before sitting down.
Bella rolled her eyes at Arthur, thinking that he was too ignorant when it came to things around.
"By the way, I'm Elisa, and he's David, can I know your names?" the woman asked after she sat down.
Now that they were seated together, it wouldn't be good if they didn't get acquainted.
Carla who had been silent since the woman came looked at her after hearing her words, she glanced at Arthur and Bella, wondering if they would answer.
However, Bella still answered immediately.
"I'm Bella, this is Arthur, and this is Carla!" She introduced Arthur and Carla as well.
"Oh, you guys must not be from this city, right? We're from England, so where are you from?" the woman asked again.
At the same time, she pulled David's hand to sit beside her.
The man seemed to have more difficulty when communicating with others even though he seemed to be very skillful when kissing Elisa.
"Vera!" Bella answered Elisa's question.
Who knows what's going on, she seems to be starting to open up more to the woman.
Probably because she also didn't give such a bad impression when she started chatting.
"Vera yes, that's an interesting place I've never been to," Elisa said after finding out where Arthur and the others were from.
"Well, I'm sure you three are just like us, high school students who just finished exams," she added.
She seemed to want to keep chatting. Maybe she felt quite comfortable too.
Only, it was obvious she wasn't quite sure what to say due to her limited knowledge of them.
Arthur, Carla, and even Bella listened more while they also focused on eating.
Elisa observed how they ate.
Although their manner of eating was very polite, but she couldn't help but marvel at the speed of their eating and the amount of food they consumed.
Over time, she thought, 'is there something wrong with their stomachs?'
If they were fat and such, she could understand. However, they had normal bodies, Bella didn't even look a bit thin.
Unfortunately for this she thought it was too impolite to ask.
She started eating when she ran out of words to say. And she was definitely the type who ate little, only eating potatoes, eggs, and other simple foods.
"By the way, which university are you going to?" She started asking again when there was something she wanted to ask.
"That hasn't been decided yet," Bella replied.
"Is that so? How about in the capital, we'll go there. It's a very good place because it's also the center of government. It just so happens that I want a career in politics, so that city is the most suitable if I want to develop well."
Hearing her plans about her career, Arthur and Carla could not help but stare at her slightly bright blue eyes.
After all, they were from a political family, so there was some interest in hearing that someone at their age wanted to pursue a career there.
"Is there something?" Elisa asked Arthur as she felt his gaze.
"Hehehe you don't know, Arthur's aunt who is Carla's mother is a successful politician" Bella replied to Arthur.
She couldn't resist saying this.
"What? So, you two are cousins?" Elisa was surprised and astonished, staring back and forth between Arthur and Carla.
This made her wonder if they were pure or impure cousins.
If they were pure cousins, it was possible that they weren't doing anything, just staying in the same room.
David who had been silent showed the same expression. He was also wondering about that.
However, he seemed to be more interested in the identity of Carla's mother.
"Can you tell me that woman's name?" he asked Bella.
He had no interest in a career in politics like bis gilrfriend, but since his family's business was always related to politics, he couldn't help but find out about it.
"I don't think I'll talk about it, how about asking them directly," Bella replied, choosing not to say it and signaled David and Elisa to look at Arthur and Carla.
When Elisa looked at Carla, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I think I have a guess," she said so that Carla's eyes met hers.
Unfortunately, David remained confused as he was not as knowledgeable as Elisa.
However, the latter stopped talking about it because he saw that Carla was not the type to talk about her mother's success to improve her social status.
And when Elisa looked at the table again, she found that Arthur, Carla, and Bella had already finished all the food in front of them.
She opened her mouth, becoming even more astonished that she herself had only finished a third of her food, which was a much smaller portion.
"Are we leaving now?" Bella asked Arthur.
Arthur nodded in response.
"It's better that we get there soon so that no one arrives sooner," he replied.
The invitations told the people who got them to come around 7:30 AM. It was now almost 7 AM although the sky was still a bit dark.
The problem was that some people would probably arrive earlier.
"Okay!" Bella immediately stood up, but then looked at Elisa again.
"You're going to pay for it, right?" she asked.
"Don't worry," Elisa replied as she placed her wallet on the table, and signaled for a waiter to approach.
The wallet looked very fancy, probably made of piton leather.
Whether it was her or David, Bella felt that they were from a family as rich as hers.
After that, the three quickly left, leaving the young lovers behind.
As they disappeared from view, David immediately asked, "Elisha, who was that woman?"
It seemed that he was more curious now because Bella looked very confident when she said it.
"She's supposed to be Mrs. Isabel who will soon become the Minister of the Interior. Yeah, there's no doubt that she's one of the most successful female politicians." Elisa didn't mind saying it since there was already no one around.
Of course, David was surprised after learning about it.
"Really, I didn't expect us to meet her daughter and nephew here, they're bigger than I thought," he said.
"Bigger if that woman manages to become a minister, but you know, the process won't be easy. The political situation these days is not very calm," Elisa replied with a serious expression.
To that, David naturally knew, he sighed.
His eyes stared at the window and finally fell on the Eiffel Tower.
"What are they doing there?" he said as he saw quite a few people gathered around the tower.
The problem was that they weren't ordinary people, but police and firefighters.
"There might be some damage," Elisa replied as she looked over there.
Only, she couldn't help but feel strange as a group of reporters began to come over with telescopes.
It was unfortunately difficult to see from there.
Of course, over time, there began to be rumors circulating, from people returning from around that Eiffel Tower.
The rumor has it that a person was hanged on the Eiffel Tower, which is quite surprising of course as there seems to have been no such case in recent years.
After the rumors circulated, there were some photos that ended up spreading on the internet.
The photos were much clearer because they used a high-quality camera.
People could finally see who was hanging from the tower.
Even his identity was also revealed as the person turned out not to be an insignificant random person.
Of course, knowing the identity only made the internet more excited.
It made even David and Elisa freeze.
As from a wealthy business family, they knew Owen quite well. They had even met and communicated with him.
"I think Europe is starting to change," Elisa said in a low voice.
Now, she could only wait for the Armstrong family's response.
