Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 340

Meanwhile, at the hotel, a hostess greeted Finn with a polite smile the moment he stepped into the lobby.

"Mr. Lockridge, Miss Whitmore has already arranged everything. Please, follow me."

Finn didn't think much of it and followed the hostess upstairs. The moment she opened the door to their private dining room, he was met with the sight of dozens of roses arranged artfully around the space. In the center of the table sat a large, two-tiered cake, with an elegantly wrapped gift box beside it.

He paused, raising an eyebrow. "Is this a service your hotel offers?"

The hostess shook her head. "No, sir. Miss Whitmore came yesterday to set all of this up herself. She mentioned that today is your one-month anniversary and wanted to make it special."

Finn's lips curved into a smile. So this was her real plan. And to think she'd tried to play coy yesterday. She was really starting to pick up his bad habits.

After dismissing the hostess, Finn walked over to the table and opened the gift Evangeline had left for him. Inside was a delicate gold chain for his glasses.

An involuntary smile spread across his face. He took off his glasses, attached the chain, and put them back on. He usually disliked gold, finding it gaudy, but this chain was so fine and elegant that even he had to admit it suited him perfectly.

Finn took out his phone, snapped a few pictures from different angles, and carefully selected the best one to send to Evangeline.

Several minutes passed with no reply. Figuring she was still on her way, he wasn't worried and put his phone away.

The kitten was filthy and skinny, its face smudged with dirt and its fur matted with what looked like old soot. Aside from its eyes and tiny frame, there was nothing cute about it.

Finn tried to shake it off, but the kitten just tightened its grip and clung on.

"Hey, buddy, I think this cat really likes you," the vendor said, seeing an opportunity. "How about a fifty percent discount? A hundred dollars for you."

Finn scoffed. "I may be rich, but I'm not an idiot."

A hundred dollars for this pathetic little thing? He didn't think so. He wasn't that out of touch with reality.
