Hearing this, Charlotte Thompson shook her head repeatedly, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
She had only met Campbell Prickly once and exchanged a few words. If they suddenly sat together for a meal, anyone would feel awfully awkward.
Meanwhile, as the two were chatting, the restaurant door swung open again, and in walked Annie Anne, wearing a mask.
Charlotte was facing the restaurant doors, but Campbell had his back to them. So when Annie entered, the first thing she saw was Charlotte chatting with a tall man.
She paused for a moment but soon greeted Charlotte and walked straight to her side.
"Your friend?"
Annie asked Charlotte casually, without immediately turning her head. It was only after her question that she looked toward the man across from Charlotte.
Of course, Annie instantly recognized Campbell Prickly. Though half her face was covered by her mask, the astonishment in her eyes was unmistakable.
