Chapter 591 - No more caffeine for you (2/2)
”Just a plate of roasted chicken and a hot coffee for me.” Although he did not like to eat in such a small and stuffy shop, he was hungry too and he knew Ryn would not agree if he suggested going to another restaurant for his meal after this.
The waiter blinked his eyes a few times. So the two plates of rice were for the woman? Or were they waiting for another person to have a meal with?
”Is there anything else?” Ryn asked with a smile when she noticed the waiter still standing beside them.
Jeremy turned to look at the boy and ċȯċked an eyebrow. Was this boy trying to woo his Ryn right in front of him? He dared?
”J, stop scaring him,” Ryn said when the boy left them. ”He must be new to this or he just recognizes you and is too starstruck.”
He hmphed unhappily but did not continue his glare.
”Here, let us take a picture together and send it to Mika,” Ryn suggested. She tried to distract Jeremy so he would no longer mind having their meal here. Besides, what was wrong with having a meal here? By looking at how busy the shop was, she bet this place serves delicious food at a cheaper price than what Jeremy used to pay. Besides, if this place is suitable for her palate, she decided to keep having her lunch here whenever she came to the office.
The waiter brought their drinks first. He went to a counter and carried three plates of roasted chicken rice. He arranged them neatly and like another waiter who did not know how big Ryn's appetite was, placed one of the sets to the empty seat, thinking that their friend would arrive soon. He did not question why the couple only ordered two drinks for three sets of food. He thought the friend who would arrive would order the drink once he arrives.
Their big boss actually wiped the utensil for another woman? The devil actually turned into a... A loving man?
They have long dismissed his persona as a singer once they received the glare and temper from him. Only Lily who was still blind to think what she saw on the television (Jeremy the singer) was the same as in the office.
”Is the chilli too spicy for you?” Jeremy asked.
She shook her head. So far she was liking what she tasted. She ate more happily and even accepted the chicken meat from him. Being a besotted boyfriend, he naturally took care of all the vegetables in both of plates. He placed them into his own and even carefully separated the meat from the bone before he handed it to Ryn.
”Do you want more drink?” he asked when he noticed her glass was empty except for the ice cubes.
”More coffee please,” she asked.
”No more caffeine for you. I'll order juice?”
”No.”
Jeremy called for the waiter and told him to bring a bottle of mineral water.
”J~” she ġrȯȧnėd.
”Behave. You've drunk too much caffeine and cannot drink more,” he coaxed.
She narrowed her eyes but no longer argue with him. Instead, she took his cup of coffee and poured it into her glass.
A glass of iced coffee is done.
”Catherine,” he sighed heavily when she brought the glass away from him.
”You drink your mineral water while I drink my coffee,” she said winningly.
”Fine. You win. But this is the last one. No more caffeine for you, my love,” he reminded as he wiggled his finger.
”Fine.”
