Chapter 294 Complicated feelings

"Savor Sanctuary? Where is that?"

Walker, hearing the name of the restaurant, was immediately confused.

William glanced at him, "Use the navigation app! Don't you know how?"

"How... how could I not?" Walker pulled out his phone, opened the navigation app, and after some fumbling around on the screen, finally found Savor Sanctuary restaurant. "Got it, I know where it is. You two go first, I'll pretend I'm also eating there, and then you find an excuse to leave."

"Alright!" William wasn't worried about Alice being at a disadvantage with Walker.

With Alice's current strength, Walker was really no match for her.

After wandering around CLOUD9 club a bit more, led by Wes, William checked out the club's players. These players all seemed very young.

William noticed they were playing a game called League of Legends. Wes mentioned that they had won the LCS championship and even made it to the semifinals of the League of Legends World Championship, which seemed quite impressive.

At six o'clock, a business-class Mercedes stopped outside the CLOUD9 club. Alice called William, and he promptly went outside.

Walker, meanwhile, was still waiting inside the club.

"You don't mind having dinner with someone you don't know, do you, master?" Alice hadn't driven herself; the car seemed to be arranged by the hotel.

"Not at all! Why do you ask?"

"Oh, that's good. It's just that this restaurant has a rule: they only entertain ten guests at a time, and these guests all dine at the same table."

"No problem."

Alice, dressed in the Renaissance-era gown William had made for her, looked like a fairy descended from heaven: "By the way, what were you doing at CLOUD9 club?"

William replied, "It's Zoey and their new base."

"Zoey?" Alice pursed her lips and said, "Why didn't you have dinner with her?"

William casually responded, "She spent the afternoon walking and eating through the food street."

Alice's eyebrows raised, her eyes slanting in displeasure, "You went shopping with her?"

"Hmm." William paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, Walker is out."

"Alice, already somewhat displeased, responded, "He's out, so what? What does that have to do with me?"

William said with a smile, "He's planning to 'coincidentally' meet you."

"A coincidence?" Alice's expression changed immediately, and she asked with some displeasure, "You're not trying to set me up with him, are you?"

William smiled slightly, "Do you think you can be 'set up'?"

Alice rolled her eyes, somewhat annoyed, "He wants to have a coincidental meeting at the restaurant? Well, we'll see if he has the skills to pull that off."

"He'll use GPS navigation," William continued. "I'll find an excuse to leave halfway through the meal, and the rest will be up to you."

Alice pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, looking at William angrily, "You know, what you're doing is really excessive!"

William looked at her, somewhat puzzled, unsure what to say.

Was it really excessive?

Walker was indeed a bit simple-minded and not a match for his disciple, but hadn't he already informed Alice in advance?

If William left and Alice didn't want to continue, she could just directly refuse Walker.

Walker's main pride was probably his strength. Once he saw Alice's power, he'd likely feel ashamed and then quietly withdraw.

His actions might be somewhat excessive to Walker, but why would Alice think he was being excessive?

Alice turned her head away, not looking at William, flicking away a tear that was about to fall, visibly upset.

William took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"I don't want to talk to you," Alice peeked at him stealthily, then turned her gaze away again.

She thought her master's actions were really excessive. She just wanted to have a meal with William, but it turned out he had already arranged with Walker to sneak away halfway through!

Regardless of whether Walker could enter the restaurant or not, his approach was entirely displeasing!

Angry!

Very angry!

The kind of angry that needs someone to coax!

Alice waited a full thirty seconds, and suddenly, the theme music of a TV show began to play in the car.

She slowly turned her head to look at William, only to find that he had already taken out his phone and started watching a TV series!!

At that moment, Alice felt like she could punch her master!

William showed no intention of pacifying her. When Alice said she didn't want to talk to him, William conveniently started watching his show, a true case of being insensitive!

Ten minutes passed, and William suddenly looked up at Alice.

Alice quickly turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Now you think of placating me? nOvε)lb.1n

Too late!

Coaxing now is no use!

"Alice, my phone is out of service. Can you top up my phone for me?"

"..." Alice took a deep breath, and at that moment, she was somewhat glad that William was only her master.

If William were her boyfriend, she would have dug a hole and buried him alive by now.

Oh, right!

Yes, William was only her master, not her boyfriend.

"Alright," Alice resignedly took out her phone and began to top up his phone account.

Alice added credit to William's phone account.

William's phone received a confirmation message indicating the recharge was successful. However, his internet connection still hadn't resumed. After fiddling with his phone for a while without success, he thought he might have had an outstanding bill too high.

Alice topped it up again.

William continued to tinker with his phone...

Until after Alice had recharged almost five hundred dollars, William finally couldn't hold back and handed his phone to Alice: "Can you help me check how much I owe?"

"You don't owe anything now." Alice checked his account balance and found there was still a considerable amount remaining. But she quickly realized that William might not know that after a phone service is restored, the phone needs to be restarted or put into airplane mode to re-activate the connection.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered what her father had said before leaving the house. He had suggested she find a boyfriend who was three to five years older than her.

It seems her father had noticed something and was hinting at her.

Best to find someone three to four years older, five years is also fine.

It looks like her old man had figured out something and was hinting at her.

Hmph!

Two old men!

By now, Alice's anger had subsided. She enabled airplane mode on William's phone and then handed it back to him, quietly watching as he continued to watch his show.

Her feelings were complicated!

"Master!" Alice suddenly called out to William.

William looked up at her.

"If Walker can't manage the 'coincidental' meeting, is it okay if you don't leave?"

"Sure!" William nodded and then lowered his head to continue watching his show.

A smile finally appeared on Alice's face. In fact, she had been overthinking. It wasn't the first day she knew William.

Wasn't he always just a boy who kept a stern face and was oblivious in matters of love?

Most importantly, William probably really saw her just as his disciple, without any of those special romantic feelings between couples, yet she kept yearning for something more.
