When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 A Meal to Remember

“Everything handled?”

Jonathan didn’t want to elaborate. He simply asked, “Yep! Just ran into a couple of old friends. Have you ordered the food?”

Sierra nodded; after dining together so many times, they knew each other’s preferences quite well.

“Anything you want to add?”

Jonathan added a dessert to their order before sending the waiter away. He had noticed that Sierra had a sweet tooth but always restrained herself; her eyes revealed her satisfaction cach time she indulged.

The dishes they ordered arrived quickly, at a spot Jonathan had marked as a prime date location in his planning. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance and great food, enveloped in a romantic pink hue, though their conversation topics didn’t quite match the setting

Sierra was discussing her experiment with Jonathan, which was the most critical issue.

Onen, research would be completed, but projects could stall at the final hurdle and never see the light of day.

“This one’s on me,” Jonathan assured her, “I’ll have someone keep an eye on it. No, it’ll still take about three months at the

He was curious about their reaction when they saw Sierra’s true capabilities. Would they regret their skepticism then?

“Isn’t this taking too long? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?”

Mateo and Maddox had finished their meal and had been waiting in the car for a while but hadn’t seen Jonathan yet.

“Let’s go, Maddox finally said.

He didn’t have time to hang around in Maviston all day; today was just a coincidence.

Though Mateo was reluctant, he agreed. Just as they were about to leave, they noticed someone sneaking around Jonathan’s

car.

Mateo’s demeanor changed instantly, and grinding his molars, he grinned, “Someone’s got the guts to mess with Jonathan’s

After exchanging a glance, Mateo stepped out of the car.

Jonathan and Sierra had been dining for nearly two hours, discussing potential issues and solutions for the experimental product.
