Chapter 923 - Dinner Date With Mischa
They arrived at the Amarylis Hotel in Paris at 2 pm and immediately had a late lunch before everyone rested. Some students spent their last day in France buying souvenirs.
Vega, who had been to France often, tried to refuse going out to shop for souvenirs when Tatiana invited her. Still, her friend did not want to heed her objection.
"I'm tired of Paris," Vega said. "I have too many souvenirs from this place already. I don't need it anymore."
"Ugh ... you must be joking. When did you go to Paris to collect too many souvenirs? Anyway, I don't want to hear that," Tatiana said. "I still want to make the last video when we are in Paris. This is a video about shopping for souvenirs. My followers love you very much. You have to help me one last time."
Because Tatiana kept insisting, Vega was forced to give in and join her friend to go shopping.
"Ugh ... okay. But don't stay long. I have to go back to the hotel at 5 pm. I have a dinner appointment with someone," Vega said finally.
"Yes ... I promise," said Tatiana.
Vega hurriedly typed a message to Mischa to confirm their dinner before she left with Tatiana.
[Big brother Mischa, you are still going to dinner with me, aren't you? I've booked a table in the restaurant at the top of the Eiffel Tower.]
[Of course. What time? Should I pick you up at your hotel?]
Vega quickly replied to Mischa's SMS. She did not want Mischa to be seen by her friends or Altair, so she refused the man's offer to pick her up at the hotel. She did not want them to spread rumors about him and Mischa.
With a happy heart, she accompanied Tatiana to shop for souvenirs and appeared in the video Tatiana shared with her millions of followers. They had fun all afternoon until, finally, 5 pm arrived.
Vega managed to force Tatiana to end her shopping spree and return to their hotel on time.
Altair was out with his friends exploring Paris for the last time, so Vega could get dolled up in their room comfortably.?She still did not want to tell her brother that she would have dinner with Mischa. Her brother would tease endlessly if he found out.
At 7:30 in the evening, the girl appeared so beautiful wearing a light blue summer dress as she was grooming herself in front of the mirror.
Ahh ... she was very excited.
[I have a dinner appointment with Mischa. I want to say thank you for all his help so far. No need to wait for me.] She sent an SMS to her brother while giving a faint smile.
Hehehe.. she could not wait!
Vega knew she looked gorgeous tonight. She fashioned her long hair into a cute bun on top of her head, making herself look more m.a.t.u.r.e than her age. She hoped Mischa could see that Vega could look rather m.a.t.u.r.e if she tried a little. So, the older man would not feel ashamed to have dinner with a teenage girl.
"Welcome, Miss Medici," the waiter in the restaurant greeted her respectfully. "We have your table set up."
Vega nodded with a smile and walked following the waiter to a table in the corner that had a view of Paris from a very beautiful angle. She looked at her watch. It's only five minutes to eight.
Mischa must be a punctual guy. I'm the one who came too early, the girl thought.
The waiter poured non-alcoholic drinks for her and served bread so Vega could munch on something while waiting for Mischa before they could order food together. Vega sipped her drinks with a slightly palpitating c.h.e.s.t.
8 pm arrived, but Mischa still didn't come.
Uhm ... maybe something happened to him on the way, Vega thought. She decided to wait and not send him a message asking where he was. Vega did not want the man to consider her impatient.
At 8.30 pm, the man was still nowhere to be seen. The servant started coming to Vega and ask if she was alright.
"Uhm .. my friend is a busy person. Maybe something held him and he is still on his way," Vega said quickly. "Please wait a little longer ..."
"Ah ... or do you want to order food first while waiting for your friend? I'm sure he won't mind. It's better than you holding back hunger."
Vega stared at the restaurant door and the menu in the waiter's hand alternately. She then shook her head weakly. "It's okay. I'll wait for him."
RING
RING
After 12 rings, Mischa still did not pick up the phone. Vega's face suddenly turned gloomy. She did not understand what was happening. Why didn't Mischa come and why didn't he give her any news?
[Where are you? I'm still waiting at the restaurant. If you have anything urgent, please let me know. I will wait to hear from you.]
She put her cellphone on the table with a sad face. Since the restaurant will close at 10 pm, the girl decided to order something so that her reservation did not make the restaurant suffer a loss. She ordered a glass of wine and an appetizer. She intentionally chose the most expensive wine from the wine list.
The restaurant waiter did not know that Vega was underage. This time, her appearance was deliberately made more m.a.t.u.r.e with her beautiful dress that looked elegant and her updo. They gave her a glass of red wine and an appetizer.
Vega enjoyed the wine and food, looking somber. After the wine in her glass ran out, she asked for one more drink.
"Big brother Mischa, how could you do this to me?" Vega murmured sadly as she sipped her wine. She kept checking on the door and her cellphone alternately, but she still could not see Mischa or a message from him.
