I Kissed A CEO And He Liked It! novel Chapter 15

Gabrielle laughed at the idea of considering their dinner as a "date." She thought to dismiss it, thinking Kyle was just creating a venue for a laugh. She said while feeling her face warm, "Sure, Kyle. Anything you say. You definitely get a hundred points!"

"Hmmm," Kyle responded. "I take that seriously."

"The restaurant is amazing!" Gabrielle announced. It was her way to move away from the topic, feeling embarrassed.

The two shared a few more exchanges, talking about the restaurant, but soon Kyle pardoned himself, leaving Gabrielle in her seat. "Excuse me, Gaby. I just need to check on the kitchen, as well as with the restaurant manager."

While waiting, Gabrielle took pictures of the harbor view. She especially took some selfies as she was at it.

An idea suddenly crept into her mind, watching the romantic atmosphere in her photo background. She bit her lip and eagerly uploaded the picture to her social media account and the photo available in public. She captioned it with "When one door closes, another one opens... Out on a date with my sweetheart!"

She chuckled as she immediately received notifications of likes and various reactions. She said, "I hope you see this, Warren."

It was the other day, when she received a friend request from Warren, after having been blocked by him in the first place. She did not accept him, and since she moved to Kyle's penthouse, she had been getting calls and texts from her ex, which she had completely ignored.

Thankfully, the presence of a handsome boss distracted Gabrielle from even thinking of entertaining Warren's disturbance.

As Gabrielle was replying to comments, a restaurant staff approached her, bringing a tablet in her hand. She said, "Hello, Miss Taylor."

The lady handed her the tablet and asked, "Would you mind taking part in a quick survey for us?" With a gleaming smile, the staff explained, "We look forward to your next visit here to our restaurant, and we thought that for every visit, we want to make it extra special. Thus, we want to get to know you better."

"Ummm... Sure, but I don't know if I will be coming back. I." Gabrielle turned shy before admitting, "I can't afford the food here."

"Oh, you will surely be back, Miss Taylor. Nonetheless, we would like to try this survey with you and see how this will improve our service with our VIP customers." The lady pleaded with her eyes and told, "I hope you can help us and give feedback."

Gabrielle gave up any objections. How could she not help? Just like her, she was certain that the restaurant staff was just trying to do her job.

She touched the screen and started reading the survey form. Carefully, she filled the questions one by one.

Name: Gabrielle Taylor

Nickname: Gaby

Question: Are your favorite food available on our menu? If no, what kind of dishes would you like for us to prepare for your next visit?

Answer: No. The food here is great, but it's not what I am used to. Buffalo wings and maybe cheesy nachos. I also like just the classic barbecue from pork to sausages.

The first few questions were pretty much related to the restaurant, but the succeeding started to get puzzling, in Gabrielle's point of view. Still, even if she was reluctant, she answered them honestly.

Question: How did you find the ambiance? Do you think it was romantic enough? If you were to set up your own romantic date, where and how would you want it?

Answer: The ambiance is amazing. It's good for one or two dates, but it's just not my personality to be in such a formal place. I prefer a date in the outdoors, like the beach or the mountains! You do have an amazing view of the bay, which is also something that I like.
