''You celebrated your birthday? Brenda, that is new?'' Jenny said over the phone.
''Well, it just happened that way. It wasn't bad, so the four of us are going to celebrate all the birthdays I missed out on when we get together''
''I'm the single dog among us now'' Chloe sighed.
''You have your 'senior' who calls you every now and then, don't you dare act innocent'' Kristine said.
''Okay, I will be coming over after Kody and I send my mother and Grandpa off to the airport. Let's talk more when I co over''
''Alright, take care, bye'' Brenda blew her a kiss and ended the call. Jenny chuckled and stood up to change before going out.
After speaking with her friends, Jenny changed into a new set of clothes and went out to et Kody. She saw him setting the table up for breakfast and went over, ''hi''
''Hi, my love'' Kody pulled her closer and gave her a kiss before pulling out the chair, 'sit down, let's have breakfast before we go and et the adults''
''Aren't we supposed to eat with them before they leave?''
''We are but I figured you might be hungry after all the activity last night; this is just soup I made. Drink it before we go''
''So you do know that you bullied last night, gangster?''
''That's why I'm making you this soup. When we return, I want to have you all to myself again. I can't get enough of you'' he winked at her and she flushed.
''I'm not talking to you again'' she said and picked the spoon to drink the soup.
''How does it taste?'' Kody asked staring at her as if waiting to be praised.
''It's not bad, where did you learn to cook?''
''I took cooking classes back at the US because I hated buying food outside and I also wanted to be able to impress you''
''You did. This is good''
''I will go and get changed. Let's leave when you are done drinking the soup''
''En'' Jenny smiled and watched him go to their bedroom.
..
Kristen walked out of the restaurant in her waitress uniform which was a little above her knees, she had in her hands two different black polybags that were full with garbage that she was going to put in the big bin.
After putting them inside, she turned to go and saw a man walking towards her. the man was a middle aged man with grey hair but she wasn't sure whether that was the normal grey hair for older people or he had done sothing to make it grey but he was also dressed a little over the top fashionably with a gold chain hanging down his neck and a pierced nose.
To say she was being crept out was the least, she also had a bad feeling about his presence. He looked like a thug, so she turned imdiately and dashed towards the door but the man called her back.
''You are Kristine, right?'' the man asked making her stop in her strides.
Kristine turned slowly towards him and nodded politely, 'how do you know my na?''
''I am not a strange person. I am Lewis Agyeman, the father of Ronald'' he introduced himself and stretched forth his hand towards her.
''Oh, uncle hello'' Kristine took his hand and the man held it a little longer as he smiled at her.
''Do you have ti? Would you mind sparing a little of your ti? I'm sorry for coming without an appointnt''
''No, it's alright. I will quickly change and co out'' Kristine took her hand away and nodded before turning to go inside.
The man's friendly face quickly changed into an unreadable one as he looked at Kristine who was talking to a co-worker inside the restaurant. He looked at his wrist watch and smirked.
A while later, Kristine walked out wearing black pants and a brown flowery blouse.
''My car is over there'' he pointed at a Vintage car and Kristine's eyeballs almost popped out. This car was insanely expensive in the market. She looked at the man again before following him to the car.
When they got to the car, the drive who was standing outside opened the backdoor for her to get in first before Lewis Agyeman did. Kristine moved over to a far end of the seat almost leaning against the door.
Lewis Agyeman noticed her actions and smiled.
.
Groovy Eatery.
Kristine didn't know how she managed to go inside the restaurant but at the mont, she was seated across Lewis Agyeman in one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. it was closer to the sea and the particular table he reserved had an over the sea view which allowed people to enjoy their food while also experiencing the vibes of the sea.
''What would you like to eat, Kristine?'' Lewis Agyeman asked and Kristine looked up at him. She had her phone in her hands and it looked like she was about to either make a call or send a ssage. ''Kristine, give the phone. Are you going to call Ronald?''
'Huh?'' her face flushed knowing she had been caught. She was indeed about to type a ssage to him. She pressed the uncompleted ssage to send before closing the phone and handed it over. The way she was being looked at crept her out and she felt that if she didn't hand over the phone she was going to be murdered.
''I hate it when soone is playing with their phones instead of listening to when I am speaking to them, especially'' he said in a stern tone.
''I'm sorry, sir'' Kristine clutched her hands tightly to her hem of her blouse. She felt so intimidated by his actions and words. She could feel that he didn't like her that much.
''What would you order?'' he asked her.
''I am not hungry. I would appreciate it if you could tell why I am here instead. I took leave from the work place to co here'' Kristine mustered her courage up and said to them.
There was no need pretending to not know that the other party didn't like her.
''Did Ronald tell you about his family? Do you know the difference between the two of you?''
''This isn't even the Joseon dynasty, why is he asking these kind of questions?' Kristine looked at him without saying a word. She knew he had a lot to say and was waiting for him to continue.
''Did Ronald tell you he has a fiance? Soone he is engaged to and is going to get married to in a few months' ti?''
Kristine's face changed and the man took in the changes. He chuckled and shook his head.
''If you break up with him, I will make sure that instead of being a waitress in that tiny restaurant, I will get you your own place, which will be equivalent to a place like this. I will give you workers and soone to manage the place. You won't ever need him again''
''What?'' Kristine felt she didn't understand his statent well enough. She smiled and stood up with her hand stretched forth towards him, 'can I have my phone? Or are you going to confiscate it? This was bought with my hard earned money. I think you are mistaken about sothing, sir. I am not in dire need of money and my family isn't poor either. My grandfather can get a place like this and more if I open my mouth to say the word. I am not with Ronald because of his family or money. I was already in love with him before he told who he was. But, he definitely didn't tell he had such a trashy person as a father''
Lewis Agyeman looked at Kristine coldly. He found her actions haughty and banged his fist against the table, startling her. He stood up to face her and was about to hold her collar when another hand pulled Kristine aside and stood between them.
'You haven't changed one bit. Still trying to ruin everything that matter to . aren't you tired of doing this all the ti?'' Ronald asked Lewis Agyeman.
''You found soone who is as haughty as yourself this ti?'' Lewis Agyeman wasn't fazed by Ronald. He chuckled and looked at Kristine, ''how long are you going to keep her in the dark? At least tell her about your engagent and upcoming wedding. Your grandfather had already set the date and Angela will be coming back soon''
''You want to marry your mistress? I would never do such a thing'' Kristine looked at Ronald when he said that.
''It was a drunken mistake that one ti. Angela and I don't have that kind of relationship. We are all one family; you should learn to let of so things''
''No matter what, you and Angela slept together and still do. do you think I don't know about that? Just because I am not saying anything about it doesn't an I am not aware of the things going on''
