There weren't many guests in the restaurant, only a few tables were occupied, making it very quiet, with soft classical music flowing through the hall.
Guided by the manager, Bryan White chose a seat by the window. Just as he sat down to order, his phone rang.
He took out his phone, intending to turn it off, but when he glanced at the screen and saw the name, he realized it was Walter Schmidt.
"Sorry, I need to take this call, you can go ahead and order first." He motioned to Mabel Doyle across from him and then answered the call.
Mabel nodded, lowered her head to browse the menu, a smile gracing her brow.
Bryan fixed his gaze on her cheek and started the conversation on the phone. Walter's sudden call was already unexpected, and then learning he was currently in New York surprised Bryan even more.
The two talked for quite a while on the phone, and Bryan, wanting to meet Walter, arranged to have dinner together the next night at Walter's hotel.
Afterward, Bryan ended the call.
