Angela moved her gaze from Nick to Aiden. She seemed to be even more surprised to see Aiden.
"Nick, we should catch up. Why don't we pick a bigger table so everyone can sit together?" Angela proposed.
Nick turned to Aiden.
"Do you mind? Otherwise, why don't we all have brunch together?"
"I don't mind," Aiden said.
It was more difficult to peel Serena off the cozy seat that she claimed with a lot of effort. She stalked unhappily to the larger seating area that Nick and Angela had picked.
"You ordered a lot of food," Nick noted. "Better get a waiter to move them to the new table."
Ms. Parsons' phone rang at that moment. She murmured a few words into the speaker before excusing herself.
"Ms. Kendall, my chauffeur is here. Sorry to waste your good intentions. I would like to go home now."
Angela gave Ms. Parsons an understanding smile.
"Please rest well, Ms. Parsons."
The young woman pressed her lips together while clutching at her handbag.
