Chapter 200 How About We Go for Cheese Fondue?
When they exited the cinema, Kate felt her legs go weak and wobbly.
Reflecting on the movie they had just watched, Kate let out a soft sigh. She mentally noted that she needed to check the reviews more carefully next time.
She had no idea that the highly recommended movie she found online would turn out to be a horror film.
Eric asked, “Are you alright?”
He looked at Kate, who walked unsteadily with concern. His eyes were filled with worry.
I’m fine, really. I just need a moment to recover!
Kate quickly waved her hand and smiled brightly at Eric. Taking a deep breath, she took over from George and began pushing Eric’s wheelchair herself. As they walked through the mall, they chatted and laughed.
The atmosphere between them was harmonious. George tactfully fell back a couple of steps, keeping a watchful eye on the mall’s surroundings.
Meanwhile, the other bodyguards dispersed into the crowd, maintaining a discreet but vigilant. presence.
“Eric, how about we go for cheese fondue for lunch? Hendrick told me there’s a wonderful place on the fifth floor of this mall,” Kate suggested.
She leaned close to Eric’s ear and talked to him with a playful smile. Eric looked up at her, and he saw the sparkle in her clear eyes.
Eric frowned slightly and asked, “Here?”
He frowned a little and glanced around, noting that although the mall was under the Lower Group, it wasn’t an upscale mall. It was a popular, people–friendly place.
The mall was crowded, and there were curious glances directed at them, but they were fleeting.
Despite the seemingly safe environment, Eric felt uneasy.
Recently, his company has been making aggressive moves, especially against MC Studio and other companies in Capital City, leaving many eyes watching them closely. Some of those eyes belonged to dangerous people.
Eric’s gaze darkened.
Someone in the crowd today could very well wish him harm.

#Finished
Kate’s earnest eyes met Eric’s. She said. “I spoke with Hendrick in advance. We have reserved the most private room, and we have tightened security. Everyone entering the restaurant on the fifth floor will have their identity checked. We will not allow any unauthorised individuals to enter.”
Eric pursed his lips and softly replied, “Alright.”
George watched this exchange with a complicated look in his eyes. He couldn’t quite understand. what Kate was up to.
She took Eric to see a movie, then to a cheese fondue restaurant in a mall.
It felt like the outing was a date for an ordinary couple, but…
George sighed quietly. Kate and Eric had entered the elevator; he quickly followed. The two bodyguards also joined them, while the rest took another elevator to the fifth floor.
They had to ensure the safety of Eric and Kate at all times.
Kate had promised that the cheese fondue restaurant was almost empty, and she had reserved the most private room for them. The bodyguards took seats nearby, close enough to intervene if needed.
The restaurant’s ambiance was pleasant, and the ingredients were fresh. Kate sat beside Eric, diligently ordering their meal before handing the menu back to the waiter.
Eric watched Kate’s every move intently. Occasionally, he would glance at George and the bodyguards outside the room. He seemed to have questions but held back, choosing to remain silent.
“What’s on your mind?”
Kate noticed Eric’s hesitation and asked with a light smile.
Eric looked at her deeply and said, “Nothing.”
Kate smiled. She looked down and started to earnestly prepare the dipping sauce.
Eric’s puzzled gaze lingered on Kate for a moment longer before he quietly looked away again.
