8 Dinner

"Wait for me!" Kresha cried when she saw the elevator's door is going to close. Fortunately, the person inside seemed to hear her.

The elevator's slightly opened door widened. She quickly entered at the elevator but regretted when she realized that the only person inside is Lindon. Kresha did not spare a glance at him. She just stand beside him.

The silence inside the elevator broke when Lindon's phone suddenly ring. The elevator has a mirror on the wall. Kresha glanced at Lindon's reflection but quickly withdraw her gaze. She lowered her gaze to prevent herself from looking at him but her ears is listening to him while he is talking on the phone.

" Hello? Yeah! I'm on my way now. Just wait for me there and I'll pick you up. Okay bye." After the call Lindon shove his phone on his pocket.

He glanced at Kresha's reflection on the mirror. His gaze fell on her face. He froze, he stared at her reflection on the mirror and a sudden realization popped into his mind.

Why am I not aware that my wife is a beauty!?. She has a curved brows, a thick and black eyelashes coupled with her tantalizing eyes. His gaze fell into her tall nose and to her lips. Lindon's adams apple darted up and down.Why am I not aware that she has a kissable lips?

Lindon didn't know for how long he have been staring at Kresha but he was interrupted by the sudden noise from her phone.

He quickly withdraw his gaze and cough two times. He pretend to look at the number at the top of the elevator's door like nothing happened.

Kresha took her phone from her bag. She looked at her phone screen and frowned. The number wasn't regestered in her phone book. Kresha hesitated for a moment but later on she finally pick up the call.

" Hello?"

"Hey! Are you not done with your work yet?" A familiar voice from the other line asked.

Kresha's knitted brows slowly faded. She doesn't have to ask who is the caller. Just his voice, she can recognize him even without seeing his face. Kresha curved her lips. "I have just got out from work." This time the elevator finally stopped at the first floor. She quickly get out from the elevator and walked ahead of Lindon.

"Good! Im here at the car park now." The man on the other line said.

Kresha was stunned. "What?! Why are you here?" She asked

"Just come here at the car park and I'll tell you why." The man answered.

Kresha followed what the man said. She walk towards the car park while she's still holding her phone into her ears.

She stretch her neck trying to find the man. "Where are you? I'm in the car park now." She asked while still trying to find him.

"Im on your right side." The man answered.

Kresha tilted her head to her right side. And there, she found him leaning in his car while holding the key and shaking it. Kresha smile and wave at Jiron. She walk towards him and ask." Why are you here?" She said while shoving her phone into her bag.

Jiron's smile widened. " To have dinner with you. I already told you this morning." Jiron said confidently, as if he sure that she would not reject his invitation.

Kresha smiled and did not reject him. Anyway this man is harmless and a good companion. So, why would I hesitate to go with him?

Lindon was walking behind Kresha going to the car park. His footsteps stopped when he notice someone familiar leaning in the car. His face automatically darkened when he recognize Jiron. He saw Kresha approached him.

He is just about five meters away from them so, he can still hear there conversation.

"Why are you here?"

"To have dinner with you . I already told you this morning."

Lindon's mouth twitched. He thought that Kresha would reject Jiron's invitation but to his dismay, she accepted it!

Lindon clenched his teeth and balled his hand. Fortunately, it was a bit dark on the spot where he was standing,so,no one notice him there.

"She really go with that guy huh?!" He doesn't know why but he felt annoyed whenever he see that guy!

"Riiiinnnggg."Lindon snapped back to his senses. He pick up the phone and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Lindon where are you? I've been waiting for half hour now." Arriene complained.

"Oh! I'm sorry. Something just came up." He said while his gaze is on the car where Kresha boarded.

"I'm on my way now." He added and then hang up the call.

His gaze followed on the moving car. Lindon got more annoyed. He kicked his car's wheel before he open the door and boarded. He started the engine and stepped on the accelerator.

Lindon and Arriene is sitting face to face. Arriene keep on talking but Lindon did not pay much attention of what she is saying. His mind is on the other person.

"Lindon?" Arriene called him but he did not reply. He seemed like he had not hear her calling him.

"Lindon!" Arriene wave his hand in front of Lindon's face.

Lindon snapped back to his senses. "Huh?!"

"Are you not feeling well?" Arriene asked in a concern voice.

"Ah... No, I'm alright..." Lindon answered.

"Then, why are you not touching your food?"

"Huh?!" Lindon look down on his food. "Uh, I... uhm....you should finish your food first so I can sent you home." Lindon quickly change the topic.

Arriene felt dissapointed but she still continue to eat her food.
