Chapter 111 - Eavesdropping (1/2)

Lena followed Kris to the dining room. Because the food would be extra greasy and fatty, she did not want to eat it in Gary's room. The smell might be too much. The dining table was small, a table for four. Kris sat down on one end and Lena on the opposite. She was happy that she was going to eat a fulfilling meal.

Collin brought over the containers and started unpacking them. Lena spotted several seafood dishes and roasted duck. She squealed.

Kris thought that Lena was reacting like a person who had never eaten lavishing meat dishes before. Kris was taking his time to get his utensils ready. He placed the napkin on his lap but Lena already rushed in the dishes. She uses her own eating utensils to grabbed for the food and ate. She was too excited that she forgot Kris was there for a moment.

She went for another bite before she finally remembered his presence. ”Oh… you're eating too?” Lena rushed a bit to eat the food. She forgot that some people may not like to share. Using her eating chopsticks to grab from the dishes was not good etiquette.

Kris stared at her wide eye for a bit. It was the first time he had sat down and someone did not care about the way they eat. Somehow, he was not mad though. Instead, he smiled. He removed the napkin on his lap and placed it back on the table. ”It's fine. You can continue.”

Kris used his own eating chopsticks and copied Lena.

”Ok!” Lena happily continued, seeing that Kris was fine with it. Lena, Gary, and Hazel always eat like this so it seems natural to her. For Kris, this was the first time he was doing this.

Collin was having a heart attack so he left the area. He bumped into a stalker Tye in the hallway. ”What are you---”

Tye covered up Collin's mouth. ”Shh..”

Collin looked up behind Tye and saw James just standing there. James shrugged. He did not know why Tye was so ”secretive.” It was obvious that Tye has no skills in eavesdropping. Kris probably knew he was there.

Of course, Kris could sense that stupid Doctor's footsteps from miles away. But he was more focused on the faces Lena was making. There was one dish she did not like and passed it to Kris. Of course, Kris did not like it too, but he ate it.

”There is something.” Kris interrupted Lena's happy eating.

”Hmm” Lena replied with her chopsticks in her mouth, her mind more focused on what she was going to eat next.

”Since you ate the food, you need to do something for me.”

Lena's happiness died instantly. She put her chopsticks on the table and glared at Kris.

'Did I say something wrong? Hugh says give her food….' Kris felt that this was not going the way he had planned it.

”Your food was bribery?!” Lena scoffed. She put her arm around all the food containers and dragged them all to her side of the table. She even took back the dish that she did not like. ”None for you then, puke it back out and I'll do something for you.”

Kris rolled his eyes. Was this woman serious?! He got a bit impatient. ”The food is not bribery.”

”Then don't say that it is. If you need something just ask. I told you already, you can kindly ask.”
