Chapter 17 - Lunch Date III

As Sabrina and Magnus concluded their main course, the waiter approached their table with a flourish, presenting the pièce de résistance of their culinary journey – dessert. The anticipation in the air heightened as the dessert plates were carefully placed before them, each creation a work of art.

"Here are your desserts, madam, and sir. I hope you enjoy the sweet finale to your meal," the waiter announced with a courteous smile.

Sabrina and Magnus exchanged glances, their excitement evident. The desserts, adorned with intricate details and tempting aromas, promised to be the perfect conclusion to their lunch.

As Sabrina took a delicate bite of the renowned dessert, a wave of bliss washed over her. The exquisite combination of flavors danced on her taste buds, creating a symphony of sweetness that resonated with her undeniable sweet tooth. Her eyes lit up, and a contented smile formed on her lips.

"Mmm, this is incredible," Sabrina exclaimed, savoring the dessert. "I have a serious sweet tooth, and this just hits all the right notes."

Magnus, delighted to see Sabrina enjoying the dessert, chuckled. "I'm glad you like it. "

Sabrina nodded, taking another indulgent bite. The dessert seemed to elevate the entire dining experience, adding a touch of decadence to their lunch date. As the flavors lingered on her palate, Sabrina couldn't help but appreciate the unexpected joy that came from embracing the sweet moments in life.

As Sabrina savored the last bites of the famous dessert, she couldn't help but reflect on the stark contrast between the Magnus sitting across from her and the rumors she had heard about him. The atmosphere between them was filled with genuine conversation, shared laughter, and a connection that seemed to defy the stories circulating in hushed whispers.

"Magnus," Sabrina said, breaking the pleasant silence, "you're very different from the rumors I've heard about you. The person I'm sitting with right now seems far removed from the stories people tell."

Magnus, looking into Sabrina's eyes, replied with a wry smile, "Rumors have a way of painting a certain picture, but I've always believed in the power of firsthand experiences. People are often more than the tales that precede them."

Sabrina nodded in agreement, "I'm glad I had the chance to see beyond the rumors. It's a reminder not to judge someone solely based on what others say."

Magnus, appreciating Sabrina's open-mindedness, added, "I believe in authenticity, Sabrina. I hope our time together has shown you a different side—one that goes beyond the stories."

Their conversation, marked by honesty and mutual understanding, added another layer to the developing connection between Sabrina and Magnus. As they lingered over the remnants of the dessert, the lunch date became a shared experience that challenged preconceived notions and allowed genuine connections to flourish.

As the last traces of dessert vanished from their plates, Magnus turned to Sabrina with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. The atmosphere around them was infused with the warmth of shared moments, and he couldn't resist the urge to extend their time together.

"Sabrina," Magnus began, a charming smile playing on his lips, "what do you say we make this day even more memorable? How about spending the entire day together? I have a few ideas in mind, and I'd love to continue our time together."

Sabrina, captivated by the proposal, felt a surge of excitement. The prospect of extending their time beyond lunch sparked a sense of curiosity and anticipation. She met Magnus's gaze and replied with a playful smile, "I'm intrigued, Magnus. Lead the way. Let's make the most of the day."

As Sabrina considered Magnus's proposal to spend the entire day together, she couldn't ignore the unexpected sense of comfort and familiarity that had settled between them during lunch. What she initially thought might be troublesome or complicated seemed to dissipate in the warmth of their shared laughter and genuine conversations.

'I must admit,' Sabrina thought to herself, 'spending time with Magnus is not as troublesome as I imagined. There's something about him that feels familiar and intriguing. It's like we've known each other for much longer than just today.'

As Magnus settled the bill, Sabrina found herself feeling remarkably relaxed in his company. The initial reservations she had about getting involved in Magnus's world began to fade, replaced by a growing curiosity and a sense of ease.

'There's a certain magnetic quality about Magnus,' Sabrina mused. 'He has a way of making me feel at ease, and I find myself wanting to explore more of what this day has to offer.'

As they prepared to embark on the next part of their day, Sabrina embraced the spontaneity of the moment, curious about the adventures that lay ahead. The connection she felt with Magnus, though still a mystery, seemed to promise a day filled with shared experiences and the possibility of discovering more about each other.

Magnus, pleased by Sabrina's enthusiastic response, signaled for the check, ready to embark on the next chapter of their day together. The spontaneous decision to extend their time promised more shared experiences and moments that would further deepen the connection between Sabrina and Magnus.

As Sabrina and Magnus emerged from the restaurant, the lively street atmosphere surrounded them. However, their attention was quickly drawn to a scene unfolding nearby. Sabrina's vigilant bodyguards, led by Victor, had apprehended a guy who appeared to be sneaking around with a camera.

Sabrina's eyes narrowed in suspicion as she approached the unfolding situation, and Magnus instinctively stood by her side, ready for any developments.

"What's going on here, Victor?" Sabrina inquired, her voice tinged with a mixture of concern and authority.

Victor, maintaining his composed demeanor, replied, "Ms. Sabrina, we caught this individual attempting to photograph you without your consent. Seems like he was trying to sneak some shots."

The guy, now detained by the vigilant bodyguards, shifted uncomfortably under Sabrina's gaze. Sabrina's expression grew stern as she assessed the situation.

Magnus, ever protective, subtly positioned himself to shield Sabrina from any potential threat, his instincts on high alert. The unexpected intrusion added an element of tension to the day, and Sabrina couldn't help but wonder about the motives of this unauthorized photographer.

Victor, Sabrina's head bodyguard, stood by her side, maintaining a vigilant stance.

"Victor, could you please check on that guy and find out what he was up to?" Sabrina requested, her tone carrying a mix of authority and curiosity.

Victor nodded and approached the detained individual. "What's your purpose here?" Victor asked sternly.

The guy, now under scrutiny, hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Look, I wasn't following her. I was following him." He pointed towards Magnus.

Sabrina's eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "Following Magnus? Why?"
