Chapter 7 - The Three Kings (1/2)

Lena stared at Gary and then back at the waitress.

'Ah right… Lena like bitter coffee while she prefers something sweeter. Ugh..' She had overreacted a bit.

”I don't want this. Get me something sweeter, please.” Lena placed the Americano back on the waitress' tray and took a bite of a cranberry scone.

”Is a Cappuccino alright?”

”Mhm,” Lena said as she still stuffed scones into her mouth.

”Did you not eat? I didn't order anything else.” Gary looked at her.

Lena was acting strange today for him. First, she did not want her usually Americano and now she was eating the scones that he had ordered for himself. She should know that the scones were his.... she told her to get the usual. Gary grumbly stared at her eating the scones peacefully. He did not even eat breakfast today yet. Those scones were going to be his breakfast.

'Wasn't she always saying that she was on a diet? She must be eating a lot due to the breakup.' Gary pondered.

He heard that when girls go through a breakup, they stress eat or cut their hair. He wouldn't want Lena to cut her beautiful hair. Gary smiled and stared at Lena quietly. It was fine if he did not have breakfast. It was not every day that he sees her not her usual self.

Lena forgot her table etiquette for a while there. She had not tasted such well-made dessert before. She wiped her mouth with a napkin before getting serious.

”How good are your computer skills?” She asked.

Gary raised his one of his eyebrows and smiled at Lena. He grabbed one of the scones and took a bite.

”We have been together for a few years now, and you are questioning my skills? Well, I can assure you that every single of my skills is top notch.” He spoke, highlighting the word ”every.”

”...”

”You do not have to worry about any of the jobs you gave me. When have I ever failed you?”

”I am not worried. Why does everyone keep telling me to stop worrying?”

”Maybe because there are some wrinkles showing on your face?”

”AhhHH?” Lena touched her face. She just looked at herself in the car before coming here. She had no wrinkles.

”I am just kidding. You look as stunning as ever, Lena.”

”Better be! Or I will show you who has wrinkles!”

Gary was going to grab a scone for himself again, but Leah pulled the whole dish to her. She hugged it like Gary was stealing her food. He backed his hands away.
