Chapter 297 Farewell Dinner

It was ten at night when Hannah raised her head from the work. She kept sitting there without moving since this afternoon. Now she'd got a sore neck and sore arms. She stood up, stretched her arms and said to Jimmy, "Let's call it a day, Jimmy."

"Yes, Mrs Wells." Said Jimmy, who stayed close to her all the time except when she was in Oscar's manor.

They left the building together. Hannah was a little tired and leaned against the back of the seat, then she took out her phone to check the chatting records.

Suddenly she was surprised for a few seconds. She found Oscar had texted her at 5pm, saying that he wanted to dine out with her after work, and he'd also sent her the address of the restaurant. But she had been too busy to check her phone, so she didn't know it at all. And, Oscar didn't call to remind her or double checked if she'd received the message. Then, she pursed her lips and called Oscar. Oscar picked up the phone, "Finally, you think of me, Hannah."

"Why didn't you call if you wanted to ask me out for dinner?" Hannah was confused. She would just have missed it if she hadn't read the message.

"You're a busy bee. Would you simply leave your work and come have dinner with me if I called?"

"At least, I could turn you down." Hannah said righteously.

Oscar smiled on the other end, sounding like he didn't care much about it, and said, "Anyway, it made no difference. Why bothered to urge you? I'd better leave you to your work. You'll certainly get off work once you're done."

"You're getting on my nerves!" said Hannah. She didn't think she could hit it off with Oscar.

Normally, one would call to confirm if he didn't get a reply, and would go home early if his date couldn't make it. But Oscar just turned a deaf ear to it.

Or was he only being polite to ask her out for dinner? Or, in fact, he might have called Theodore or someone else, and he was just checking with her? So, it didn't matter even she hadn't replied. If so, Hannah didn't think she had to feel guilty.

"I'm off and on my way home." she said, and was about to hang up the phone.

"Shall I tell the waitresses to serve the dishes now?" Oscar asked.

Hannah was wondering if she'd heard it wrong or misunderstood it.

"I'm still waiting for you at the restaurant." Oscar added.

What? Was he out of his mind? Had he been waiting for her for the whole evening without calling or urging her? In fact, she thought Oscar was insane, but somehow she was touched deep in her heart. She hung up the phone abruptly and told Jimmy, "Head for CAROLE, the restaurant, Jimmy."

"Yes, Mrs Wells." Jimmy just followed the order without asking much.

"Well, does Oscar go bananas every now and then?" Hannah felt a little wronged and couldn't tell the exact feeling right now, so she just wanted to take it out.

"Sorry?" Jimmy was confused.

"Does he ask someone out for dinner without calling and just keep waiting and waiting?"

"No." Jimmy said with earnest.

Hannah didn't think that was something Oscar would do. Somehow, she guessed he would definitely lose temper if he dined out with Theodore and the latter was late for even one minute. "Mr Wells never takes someone out for dinner." Jimmy added.

Hearing it, Hannah was stunned and felt her heart was touched deeply by something. Was she so special to Oscar?

Very soon, the car arrived at the restaurant.

Hannah hurried to the restaurant, then stood there in the hall with her lips pursed. She found Oscar was alone in the hall, sitting at a dinning table. The soft and white light shone on him. He sat without moving, looking like a delicate statue, so beautiful and so lonely.

Hannah took a deep breath and went over to him step by step.

Hearing her footsteps, Oscar turned around to see her coming up to him with determination. He put on a smile and stood up elegantly. He acted like a real gentleman, pulled out the chair for her and invited her to take a seat while she was walking over to him.

Hannah glanced at him and sat down slowly. Then Oscar made a gesture. The waiters got it and began serving the dishes. Right at the moment, the waiter also filled the goblets with expensive wine. "Is it a special day today?" Hannah asked.

She wondered what was so special about today. Why didn't he call and tell her on the phone if it was a big day? She might leave work early for a big day.

Oscar said nothing.

"The one-hundredth day of our marriage?" Hannah guessed.

Oscar shook his head.

"Your birthday?" Hannah kept guessing.

Oscar frowned deeply.

She admitted that she had forgotten Oscar's birthday.

"My birthday is on 2nd February." Oscar said.

Hannah was a little embarrassed, since she didn't pay much attention to it. And she was thinking Oscar didn't know her birthday, either.

Then she heard Oscar saying, "Your birthday is on 8th August."

Hannah was speechless. Couldn't he just stop embarrassing her?

"We're a perfect couple." Oscar smiled lightly. So, what was so special of it?

"It isn't a big day today." Oscar said bluntly.

"Then why all these fusses?" Hannah was still a little confused.

"I'll leave Kensbury tomorrow. I'll be gone for a while."

So, was this a farewell party? Even so, she should be the one to ask him out for dinner.

"How long will you be gone?" Hannah couldn't think of much and just asked whatever she cared most about.

"Telling from the schedule, I'll be away for about ten days." answered Oscar.

"That's a long time." Hannah was a little surprised. And she couldn't accept it for the time.

"The City Hall has planned a lecture tour. I've been assigned to some out-of-the-way counties. According to the schedule, I'll be back in around ten days." "What about Charles?" Hannah asked.

Did Charles have the same work arrangement?

Oscar's face changed a little.

"Don't get me wrong. I just wanna know if you've been treated differently." Hannah said with a straight face.

"He'll stay in downtown of Kensbury now, and later he'll go to some suburb counties."

"So, they've made it hard for you." Hannah said firmly.

But Oscar didn't seem to care much about it.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Hannah asked, knowing that he couldn't say no to the the City Hall's arrangement.

"Yep. I'll set out tomorrow morning. That's why I wanted to have dinner with you tonight. I'll be gone for a while and I'm afraid I'll miss you a lot." Oscar said naturally. She thought of his words and found them so warm and sweet.

So, it meant Oscar couldn't bear to part with her, and asked her out for dinner, yet she'd just kept him waiting for at least four hours.
