Captivation: Want Nothing But You

She caressed her belly fondly and said, “Little guy, tomorrow is a big day.”

As soon as she finished her words, a gentle knock came from outside the door.

The maid’s voice followed after a moment.

“Miss Bennet, are you awake?”

Rachel stood up and opened the door, curious about what was happening.

“Miss Bennet, there is a special dinner party on the fifth floor tonight.

Would you like to join the other passengers in the restaurant?” the maid asked with a smile.

Rachel frowned and asked,

“That’s right, Miss Bennet.” The maid looked at Rachel with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

But thinking that she didn’t do anything wrong, she immediately straightened up and said with a smile, “Miss Bennet, all the chefs will be working on the fifth floor tonight, so if you want to have dinner alone here, you may have to wait a little longer.”

Rachel had a strange feeling in her gut and remained silent for a while.

Seeing that Rachel wasn’t responding, the maid quickly added, “If you don’t want to go to the fifth floor for dinner, I’LL just inform them.

I’m sure they will figure something out to accommodate room service in your case.”

“No, it’s fine.

I’LL go to the dining room.

Just give me a moment to prepare,” Rachel said casually.

The maid’s face suddenly lit up.

“Then let me go get an evening dress for you, Miss Bennet! I’ll be right back!”

“Why the evening dress? It’s just an ordinary dinner.

Why do I need to wear something so formal?” Noticing the maid’s shifty behavior,

Rachel had a vague guess on what the dinner was really about.

“The dinner party is officiated by the host of the cruise tour.

ALL rich ladies on board will be dolled up in their fancy dresses.

You should go get ready, Miss Bennet.

Rachel’s eyes blinked, and she didn’t say anything.

In the Western restaurant on the fifth floor

It seemed that a waiter had been expecting her arrival.

As soon as

Rachel came up the stairs, he greeted her warmly and ushered her inside.

“Miss Bennet, please follow me.”

Rachel smiled politely at the waiter and then peeked at the room behind him.

The whole layout of the restaurant came into view.

The light in the restaurant was a little dim, accentuating the rustic vibe of the furniture inside.

Melodic and soothing music could be heard playing in the background to set the pleasant mood.

From where

Rachel stood, she could clearly see the sea surface with light ripples which reflected the full moon in the sky.

Rachel slightly frowned at the sight of only a few waiters in the area.

She had expected a grand event.
