Chapter 7 Pretending

  • Aira was stunned when her eyes met with Gael's. Aira felt like she saw a ghost because of what she saw. His reaction was not far from Gael who was shocked by what he saw and he did not expect to see the girl he had not seen for a long time. Gael's companions were also wondering.
  • It took a few minutes before Aira recovered from what happened. He smiled broadly at Gael before speaking.
  • "Sir, have we met before? How did you know my name?"
  • Gael was stunned by the question the girl threw at him. He blinked his eyes multiple times to make sure that he is not dreaming. He saw how the girl froze when he mentioned her name. He didn't know why he suddenly said those words.
  • "Don't you remember me?"
  • Aira continue to smiled, "nope sir. I think we haven't met before. Maybe you mistaken me for another person. If you don't mind, may I know what's your orders?"
  • "Isn't didn't a self service, beautiful..." Caven stop when he saw how his boss glare at him. He faked his cough, "isn't should be us to go to the counter to say our orders instead?"
  • "We intend to give our customer a quality service. But if you mind that much, you can come with me to the counter."
  • Caven smiled, "sure...ah, I mean there's no need for that because..."
  • "No, we'll go to the counter instead. After all, there is no menu here and your menu is in the counter, how can we know what you guys can serve?" After Gael said that, he stood up and ask Aira to lead the way. When the others are about to stand up too, Gael glare at them.
  • Knowing the reason behind it, the others didn't follow them.
  • "Do you think the boss knows the lady?" Randy asked. "I couldn't even speak to the lady."
  • "Who knows," Raven muttered as he look at the back of the two. "There is a possibility that they know each other."
  • "Surely, we can watch a drama unfold starting from now." Caven said with a smirk as he patiently waited. "The lady is a good catch but if the boss knows her and have a feeling with her, the we couldn't bit it, Randy." Randy nodded.
  • "How are you so sure that the boss like her? Didn't you see that the girl didn't know him. Aside from that, young master is a divorcee man." Andy said as she crossed her arms.
  • "Why? Are you afraid that the boss will like her and someone will get your man again..oopss, boss never been your man. Don't worry my brother is still waiting for you."
  • Andy rolled her eyes to Caven while Raven sent a deadly glare to his asshole brother.
  • "Nics...stop pretending. I know you know me. Are you mad? Why did you suddenly left?"
  • "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about. I really don't know you."
  • "Nics, stop acting. I know you."
  • "But, I don't know you. Sir, if you keep pestering me, then I think..."
  • "Hon!" The both of them look to the person who said those words. Josh immediately went to Aira and encircled his arms to her waist. "What's the matter?" He then look to Gael.
  • "It's nothing. I am accompanying this mister to the counter to choose their foods."
  • "Al right. I'll help in the kitchen then. Can you handle taking the order."
  • Gael said through gritted teeth, "she can. Is she a person with disability? She has hands. Can you please hurry up."
  • Josh felt embarrassed so he decided to bid goodbye to Aira before look to Gael.
  • "I'm sorry, sir."
  • "Tsk."
  • Aira look to Gael as she thought, 'he had changed'
  • She cleared her throat and asked, "may I get your order now sir?"
  • "Give me all the food that you served here."
  • "Huh?" Aira couldn't believe the words he said. Although they are many, she didn't know if they were able to eat them all.
  • Gael furrowed his brow, "what are you still staring for?"
  • "Sir... one pieces for each type of food that we served or all of the food."
  • Gael hissed, "do you think we will able to eat all those foods. Of course, each type of your foods that served here."
  • "Okay, noted." She then started to walk to the kitchen while mumbling to herself. "He inherit a lit bit of the behavior of Zoey, huh."
  • Gael went back to their seat grumpily, he couldn't believe what his eyes just saw earlier. He knows that she's just pretending but he doesn't have any foggiest idea about her relationship to the guy from earlier.
  • The others didn't dare to speak the moment they saw the expression in the face of Gael. They know that their boss is not in a good mood. Even though he is already bad mood from earlier, it gotten worse now and all of them knows the reason about behind it.
  • "Guys, we brought the foods that you order." Everyone aside from Gael look to Ms. Laira who were smiling at them. Behind her is Josh who were pushing a trolley with a lot of foods. "These foods are the first one that we cook. The others will arrived sooner or later."
  • Everyone gasped when they see the foods before they darted their attention to Gael who is just frowning and looking at somewhere else.
  • Jim finally spoke, "these are so much for us. Why don't you guys come and eat with us?" He then took a glance to Gael who were now looking at him but didn't utter a word.
  • "There's no need for..."
  • "He is right. Why don't you join us? We can't eat that all, it's a waste if we will just throw it away." Ms. Laira and Josh look at each other. They didn't know what to do.
  • "Then, we will bother you for that. Thanks for the offer." She then look to Josh and said, "call the two and tell them to come over here."
  • "Mama." Josh call her to make sure if they were really gonna join them.
  • "It's alright, sir." Josh look to unfamiliar man who were sitting beside the man he saw earlier. Josh just nodded since he couldn't do anything about it before he left while Ms Laira continue to chat to the guests.
  • "Where did you guys came from?" She asked sweetly. "You should change your clothes."
  • "We came from the other country. We are here to travel but we encounter robbers." Andy gently spoke to the woman. She knows how to spoke gently after all, she is the secretary of the heir of the Fuentabelle which is Gael.
  • "That's bad. Nowadays, you can't describe the true nature of the people. By the way, do you have a place where you could stay at?"
  • "Unfortunately, not yet. We tried to booked a room in hotels but before we could even enter—they shoo us." Isaac said as he looked to the food. He is already hungry but the moment he saw the three people walking at them, his eyes lit up. He
  • "They're here!" Caven said cheerfully. Gael turn around to look at them. He secretly clench his fist before he started to eat. "Let's eat."
  • "Please sit down. Join us to eat. We can't finish all the foods." Josh pull a three chair for them since Ms. Laira is already seating beside Andy, he didn't get her one.
