Chapter 68 Their lunch date (1/2)

Jeremy did not let go of Ryn's hand even though they were in the elevator to the fifth floor and even when they were getting closer to the restaurant. Maybe she could sense his feeling, she did not even attempt to pull her hand back. She just let him hold her all the way.

”I've booked a table for two under the name Jeremy,” he told the man waiting at the door, still holding Ryn's hand closely.

”Please follow me,” the man said after he closed a file. Then, he walked slowly toward an empty table near the window but still separated from the others.

Instead of letting the man pulling the chair for her, Jere my glared at the poor man and pulled the chair himself. He took the chance to touch her arm before he walked to his seat.

Ryn, who was oblivious with the eyes action, simply took the napkin to fold and placed on her laps.

Another woman came and introduced herself as Helen, a waitress to wait for them. She handed the menu to them and waited, smiling.

”I would like sirloin steaks with extra gravy.” Ryn flipped the pages quickly, ”Make it two. Also watermelon juice.”

”No salad, love?” Jeremy chuckled. It must be under her unconscious mind to avoid anything green after years of being fed 'healthy food'.

”Is this a lame joke, J?”

”Hey, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously.” He stroked her hands to cool her down. It was fun teasing her about her dislike of anything green for food. In fact, he did not mind to finish off anything she did not want. That was what a husband does for his beloved wife, right?

Helen maintained her professional smile even though she was desperate to take out her phone. She wanted to take pictures and recorded these two to upload to her media social account. Imagine how many people would like and comment on her post.

She would become famous for leaking their 'secret date'!!!

Then, she sobered. It was hard for her to get this job and the manager always emphasized on how this restaurant boosted on taking care of the customers' privacy. Customers did not have to be worried when they came dining here. Hence the reason why many VIPs chose to have their meals here.

She almost slumped her shoulders in defeated but she managed to control herself. She put on her professional face, waiting for the couple to finish ordering their meal.

She went to submit the order, leaning her back against the wall. Her eyes could not help from looking at the couple. She sighed a bit.

”You're still new so you still are not used with this, aren't you?” Anabella, her colleague commented.

Helen could only smile.

”You'll get used to it.” Anabelle patted her shoulder and went to take the plates of food for the customer and send them to their table.

Helen sighed and waited for more.

Jeremy took the chance of waiting by taking photos of Ryn. He checked them and smiled happily. Every photo of her was perfect. She was so beautiful in all of them. He had no idea which one he should post in his media social.

”How long are you going to be here?” she asked but her focus was on the outside, looking out of the glass window.

The napkin was placed on the table, near the glass of water.

”Until you're done with your work,” he replied simply.

”Aren't you neglecting your work?” she finally looked at him, cocking an eyebrow.

”Isn't Mika taking care of them now?” he replied back, smiling widely.
