Chapter 184 Chasing After Ashes

Lucian's remark brought a sudden hush, and an awkward silence settled over the table.

Ironically, Lucian, the instigator of this awkward moment, seemed utterly unaware of the tension in the air. He maintained his composure and continued sipping his red wine with elegance.

Finally, Calista's meal arrived.

A handsome young waiter in a suit with a bowtie placed a delicately presented steak in front of her, his long and well-proportioned fingers gracefully leaving the edge of the plate.

"You have beautiful hands," Calista complimented the waiter.

His hands were model-worthy. Just yesterday, Lucas posted on his social media that he was looking for a stand-in male hand model. Calista wondered if this waiter might be a good fit.

The waiter blushed, taken aback by the compliment.

While it wasn't the first time someone had complimented his hands, it was the first time a customer had done so in person, especially coming from such an attractive young lady.

"Thank you," he replied.
