Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 749

However, when they arrived, Shannon found the place a little too tranquil.

"Nobody's here?" She was surprised.

Didn't they say this restaurant had great reviews? It was dinnertime, yet there wasn't a soul in sight apart from them; even the reception had only a few waitstaff.

On the other hand, Benjamin remained cool. The restaurant manager went up to them and welcomed them politely. "Mr. Cooper, Ms. Jensen, this way please."

The manager then led them to their table by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

From this angle, they could overlook the entire city's nightscape. Although Shannon didn't choose this place for this striking selling point, she still hoped that the view could encourage Benjamin to eat a bit more.

After placing their orders, the restaurant remained eerily empty. The dishes soon arrived, filling the table, but she couldn't help but notice the fireworks cake before her. Something felt off.

"I didn't order this." Technically, this item wasn't on the menu.

Benjamin was as cool as a cucumber. "It's a custom order from me."

Previously, Adam posted on his social media, stating that Shannon liked cakes like this.

Benjamin initially planned for them to have a proper dinner out together. After all, he was her "boyfriend", and if they continued to interact so formally, it wouldn't take long for others—especially Hector—to suspect he wasn't genuine.

As if noticing her suspicion, he added, "We were in a private room back at the film studio."

She grunted in response, accepting his reasoning for the time being. Then she pointed at the cake. "What's with this, then?"

Benjamin looked at her, slightly confused. "I thought you liked this."

Shannon was at a loss for words, as she couldn't remember ever saying she liked this type of cake. But since he said she did, she decided to embrace it.

She even had a feeling that he was too embarrassed to admit he wanted a cake like that for himself. If that were the case, she would gladly take it upon herself.
