After That Day - Chris' Version (2)
When lunch break came, he first made sure Clarissa Guzman was not at the cafeteria before he headed in. After all, even if he made it appear like it was just an accident, in the end, he still caused a perfectly fine phone dive into a dirty water canal. Who knows if that infamously two-faced woman already bore a grudge against him because of that?
"Better be safe than sorry", he said to himself. Though it's shameful to admit, she was stronger than him. It was a lesson learned after their short tug-of-war yesterday.
After ordering a meat and vegetable meal set, he quietly carried his tray to a table near the corner.
He purposely chose a two-seater table. To ensure no one would bother him in his lunch, he left the tray on the vacant seat opposite his. Unfortunately, not even five minutes passed and an uninvited trouble threw that pitiful tray somewhere just to take the seat for herself.
