Nathan and Bella talked for a while on the phone and finally set a place to et.
Since it was also lunch ti already, they decided to et in a popular pancitan(noodle shop) at the downtown in a few minutes.
After hanging up the phone, Nathan continued walking and soon left the Camp.
When he t Cardo again outside, he told him a few things before heading down the mountain.
Stepping inside his car, Nathan drove away at a fast speed.
…
20 minutes later.
Nathan parked his car outside an old store called Neneng's Pancitan.
The appearance of the establishnt looks worn down because of the passage of ti, showing just how long this place has been here.
Getting out of his car, Nathan familiarly walked inside the store and looked around to see if Bella was already here.
With his strong vision, he soon spotted Bella sitting near the window side, her hand on her chin, supporting her head.
She was wearing a pink overall dress that seed to bring out the youthful energy around her along with her beautiful appearance. She has beco a focus of most of the people inside the store.
Even those who were just passing outside can't help but take a look at Natalie who can be seen from the window.
Seeing Bella who looks bored sitting there alone, Nathan let out a small smile before walking towards her without hesitation.
He sat down in front of Bella without saying anything which startled her a bit before she realized that it was actually Nathan.
"Nathan! You startled ."
Bella said with her hand on her chest, heaving a sigh.
"Did I?" Nathan chuckled, "You looked so bored earlier, did you wait for long?"
Bella shook her head and nonchalantly said, "No, I also just got here."
But inside her head, Bella is complaining.
'Yes, I waited for a long ti. I've been sitting here for 15 minutes!'
Although 15 minutes might not seem much, it is actually quite a long ti especially when you're waiting for soone.
Since we humans sotis perceive ti differently depending on what we are doing, ti might sotis feel like it's going too fast or sotis going too slow.
When you're waiting for soone, it is common to feel like ti is going slowly since we are focusing on the arrival of the person we are waiting for.
To the point that even 15 minutes can feel like hours have already passed.
That is why Bella complained inside her head.
But just because Bella feels like she waited for a long ti, doesn't an that it is Nathan's fault.
Nathan already drove fast to arrive here as fast as he can but Bella's ho is just closer to this place making it possible for her to arrive here faster.
Anyway, it doesn't matter since the two are here now.
"Did you already order sothing?" Nathan asked,
"Not yet, I waited for you so that we can order together." Replied Bella.
"Then let's order now."
Nathan picked up a small laminated paper place on the table.
It was actually the nu of this place.
"What would you like to eat?"
Bella showed a thoughtful look and said, "I'll get a serving of pancit palabok and a glass of pineapple juice."
"Hmm, Okay, I think I'll just order the sa thing."
Nathan nodded, got up from his seat and walked up to the counter to tell their orders.
After a few minutes, Nathan ca back with two plates of pancit palabok and two glasses of pineapple juice.
"Our food is here."
After serving the plates in front of Bella and on his own, Nathan sat back.
"I was a frequent custor here before, the food was very good." He said with a nostalgic smile on his face, "Take a bite and tell what's your opinion."
"Ah, oum!"
Bella picked up her fork and tried a small amount of palabok.
Her movents are very elegant, showing the kind of upbringing she ca from.
Since she grew up from a rich family, it is no surprise that she learned about basic etiquettes and even though she is eating in this kind of worn down place, she still didn't forget about her manners.
After putting the first bite of palabok in her mouth, Bella chewed it a few tis and her eyes lit up.
"Hmm, it's really good."
Nathan smiled and proudly said, "Right~ I told you it's good. I won't talk about those 5 star restaurants, but I can guarantee you that this is the best pancitan around here!"
Seeing Nathan acting like this, Bella paused for a second before a smile also crept up her lips.
The two ate the food with relish and talked about so trivial stuff in their life, making small talk.
After a while, the two finished their food and it is now ti to talk about the important stuff.
Bella fixed her posture and looked at Nathan with a serious expression.
"Since we're done eating now, can we talk about business now, Mr. Nathan?"
Opposite her, Nathan still looks as careless as before, still smiling lightly as if not taking anything seriously.
To Bella's words, Nathan only lightly said, "Sure."
Nathan's casual attitude did not disgust Bella or anything because she knows what Nathan is capable of and the talk she is for really doesn't seem like such an important thing for Nathan.
Bella sohow also felt infected by him and also relaxed a little.
Now with a small smile on her face, Bella said, "Mr. Nathan can still rember our talk about the 'fruits' last ti, right?"
"Yeah."
"The thing we will be talki–"
In the middle of Bella's words, Nathan suddenly interrupted her.
"Stop, stop."
Bella stared at him with a confused look in her eyes.
Seeing Bella's questioning eyes, Nathan just lightly said, "Let's not make the business talk long, just tell what you want directly."
Then at the end, he added, "Do you want to send the null fruits to you now?"
