The Invincible Arthur Gardner

Chapter 71 - Reaching the Unreachable

After some time chatting at the table, Edna suddenly exclaimed, "Boss, what we've been waiting for

has arrived!"

Her voice was filled with anticipation, causing Alicia to become instantly enthusiastic.

"Kya...Claudina really came?" she asked with a spark of delight in her voice.

Arthur rose from his seat as the door to the room at the end opened, and Claudina stepped inside,

wearing a beautiful blue and white dress and accompanied by two bodyguards.

Claudina strolled gracefully, a vision of poise and majesty, like a princess from a storybook. Every eye

was upon her, for her beauty was simply incomparable. With a brilliant smile, she quickly hastened to

Arthur, coming to a stop before him.

"Thank you for inviting me to this very special dinner, Arthur," she said, her eyes sparkling in

appreciation.

Arthur smiled and nodded. "Have I intruded on your precious time, Claudina?" he asked, a hint of

concern in his voice.

She quickly shook her head. "No, Arthur," she reassured him. "Whenever you ask for me and need me,

I will always come."

The orphanage children stood up and beamed with joy when Claudina arrived.

"Hi Claudina!" they exclaimed, beaming with friendly grins.

"Hi everyone," she replied sweetly, "did you have a good time?"

Claudina exchanged warm greetings with the orphanage children, and then Edna approached her,

smiling and saying, "Claudina! It's so good to see you tonight."

Claudina smiled and stepped forward to embrace her. "Edna, it's so nice to see you again this

evening," she said warmly.

"This is our new partner," Edna introduced, gesturing towards Alicia.

Alicia looked both delighted and anxious as she greeted Claudina. "Hello there... My name is Alicia,"

she said shyly.

Edna added, "She's the one who recorded what happened at your auction and then distributed the

video afterwards."

"Oh really?" Claudina smiled shyly and stepped closer to Alicia. "My name is Claudina. Thank you so

much for your help that night, it's really nice to meet you."

Alicia was visibly awestruck. "Oh my goodness, you look even more gorgeous up close. I've been to

your concerts a few times, but this is the first time I'm talking to you in person."

Claudina noticed Alicia's cute and sweet expression and couldn't help but smile, thinking that Arthur

must have some sort of extraordinary charm that made Edna and Alicia want to get closer to him. "You

look lovely too, Alicia," she said kindly.

Claudina then reached out and took Alicia's hand. "Come on," she said softly.

The four of them then proceeded to the dining table in the middle of the room and took their seats.

Alicia sat on Arthur's right while Claudina occupied the seat to his left. The delicious aroma of the food

soon filled the room with a plethora of luxurious dishes to satisfy their appetites.

Arthur stood before the room, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "Enjoy the night, everyone!"

he said, his voice ringing out in the room. His words were met with smiles and joyful laughter from all

the people present.

The visual and culinary delights of the evening were truly remarkable; the chefs of Golden Park

Restaurant had outdone themselves, creating a selection of delicious dishes with unique presentations.

Unable to resist the temptation of the delicious dish in front of her, Alicia immediately grabbed some

menus and began to devour them with passion.

Edna, amused by this, quietly chuckled and said, "Sure, Alicia is still growing, so she has to eat a lot."

Alicia lifted her face and, with a slight frown, stared at Edna's chest, asking, "What kind of growth are

you saying here Edna Unnie.... What do you mean, that growth on the chest?"

Claudina then let out a chuckle, delighting in the joy before her. "If we're talking about growth," she

remarked with a smile, "I guess I could use some of that too. So I think I'm going to eat a lot tonight!"

she added, chuckling again.

Alicia then took a spoon and ladled some soup toward Arthur. “Mr. Glitzy Oppa, I know one thing that

can irritate Edna Unnie, because she has teased me," she said with a mischievous smile.

She then offered a spoonful to Arthur. "Take it Oppa, at least I'll be the first girl to do this, right?"

Arthur turned to Alicia, his eyes widening in surprise, and opened his mouth. Alicia fed him the soup,

and he gave her a grateful smile.

“Nice, this meal is very delicious.” He answered quietly.

Alicia then chuckled at Edna, "How is it, Edna Unnie?"

“Yes, sure….” Edna answered with a nod of her head. “I think you should try harder, you know?

Because I've often done that to Mr. Glitzy….” she said, and then covered her lips with the back of her

hand with a chuckle.

“Shhh…” Alicia hissed a little, then took off the small mask covering most of her face.

"I don't feel comfortable eating this delicious soup with a mask like this." she said, and after that, she

began to eat with even more gusto.

After some time had passed, and most of the people in the room had finished their lavish meal, Arthur

smiled with satisfaction after enjoying the sumptuous and delicious meal.

"Arthur," Claudina called softly, and Arthur turned his head in response.

Claudina then wiped Arthur's lips with a cloth to clean the stain there. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help

you tidy this up," she said in a gentle voice.

Arthur became speechless when Claudina's compassionate eyes stared at him, then the girl averted

her eyes and withdrew her hand slowly.

"Thanks, Claudina," he finally said.

Alicia then turned to Edna, who smiled serenely back at her. "Have I been impolite by taking Mr. Glitzy's

right seat from you, Edna Unnie?" she asked kindly.

But Edna replied with a warm smile. "You may sit wherever you feel comfortable, Alicia," she said

kindly.

The sound of laughter and joyful conversation filled the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. The

orphanage children were particularly animated, as they had never experienced such delicious food

before; they had only seen it on television.

Furthermore, they were in the most luxurious restaurant in the city, something they had never even

imagined. "What an amazing night," one of the children exclaimed.

"Boss," Edna softly called out to Arthur.

He glanced over at her to see her still beaming with that warm smile.

"Why don't you play the piano and sing to make the evening all the more enjoyable?" she asked gently. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Yes, yes, yes," Alicia eagerly added. "I saw the video when you sang with Claudina, Oppa. How about

you do it again tonight?"

"Ehm..." Arthur hesitantly turned to Claudina, seeking approval.

Claudina smiled softly and said, "Of course I won't refuse whenever you ask me to sing a duet with

you, Arthur. However...."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Actually, I wrote a song for you to sing alone...." she paused

again, her expression intense.

Arthur smiled and asked, "Do you want me to sing that song, Claudina?"

Claudina looked into Arthur's face with a warm, gentle expression, then nodded slowly in affirmation.

Arthur confidently declared, "Okay then, show me the song."

Alicia seemed shocked, exclaiming, "What!? Don't tell me that the story is true that Mr. Glitzy Oppa can

actually sing and play the piano live even for the song he just learned?!"

Edna replied to Alicia's words with a chuckle, "I think it's best if you get used to the idea that this big

boss can surprise us in unexpected ways. If one day he can suddenly move a mountain with his hands,

I'm ready for that!"

Alicia nodded quickly in agreement. "Ahahaha... Yes, let us see what other surprises he has in store for

us in the future."

Arthur then accepted the tablet from Claudina and made his way to the small stage, eliciting the

attention of everyone in the room.
