The lady looks embarrassed but her reaction is cute at the same time. When the two of us got the order, she left in a hurry.

But of course, I could not escape the sight of it looking at where we were sitting. She even giggled.

It's still a bit awkward after the waitress left.

Good thing, Chren anticipated the conversation between us so there's no dead air at least.

Feeling close.

But never mind.

"What course did you finish?" he asked after another question.

I could not escape the sight of it looking at where we were sitting. Than none of us will speak. It'd be more awkward.

"Business Administration."I answered he nodded. "I currently work as a Finance Manager in our company. How about you?"

"Well, I'm managing a repair shop nearby. Family business." he also responded to my question. "You mentioned, your company? You mean, your family's company?"

"Yup." I nodded.

The conversation went on.

We just stopped when the food arrived. Only occasionally has there been an intrusive conversation between the two of us.

Just like that, I enjoyed a simple lunch with someone I just met.

Perfect stranger, huh?

"I enjoyed their food."

Chren and I were slowly walking side by side. We had just finished eating and decided to take a walk first to freshen up.

I can say, he was fun to be with and talk to.

"So do I, Their kimchi is delicious." I commented.

As I walked, I turned to the right. Here goes the feeling of being stalked again.

My forehead furrowed.

What again?

"So, I, uh, I guess we should part ways." I could hardly pay attention to who I was talking to.

"See you around, Aya?"

None of us smiled or nodded at him.

"Yeah, see you around." I stammered.

He left first and walked in the opposite direction I intended to go.

I tried to roll my eyes at those around me.

No one's suspicious.

No one looks like someone who'll suddenly surprise you with a knife.

Or a gun.

Or maybe an axe.

Again, I just shrugged off the weird feelings I've been feeling lately.

I put a smile on my face as I inhaled a huge amount of air. I look at my reflection on my phone's screen and I smile wider. I glanced briefly at the dress I was wearing.

Only now, I realized that I ate in a formal restaurant wearing this kind of outfit.

I shrugged.

Never mind, I don't look like a beggar anyway. I giggled at my own silly thought.

By the way, I was wearing the Balenciaga t-shirt that my brother bought that he had intended to buy at the main store.

Plus my designer brand purse. Not to mention the limited edition necklace, proudly hanging on my neck, bragging about my well-defined collar bones.

I was only a few steps away when a pair of hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who?"

"What are you doing here?" I asked lazily. It was Lily.

Behind her is none other than Camilla.

"You guess," Camilla said.

Sighed.

"Okay, fine. I know, Mommy sent you again. "Both of them nodded." I knew it. Come on, I haven't spent a day here."

The two just smiled at me and immediately followed my walk.

They were on either side of me and both were holding me in their arms. We could be mistaken for sisters. As a matter of fact, I'm really close to my co-workers. Especially these two.
