"Leah! What are you looking at?" Leah Thorne, who was serving dishes, was scolded by the supervisor.
"Nothing." Leah snapped back, "Sorry, Ms. Crawford, I’ll deliver the al now."
Ms. Crawford blocked her, the eyes behind the black-rimd glasses stared at her unfriendly.
"Leah, let remind you, the guests who co here to eat, although they’re in the sa space as you, it doesn’t an they’re people from the sa world as you. Stop having unrealistic dreams."
"..." Leah pressed her lips together and looked down in silence.
Ms. Crawford snorted coldly and walked away.
Leah finished delivering the al and stood aside, a fellow waiter comforted her: "That Ms. Crawford is just going through nopause, and she doesn’t like to see young, pretty girls. Especially soone like you, who’s well-educated and just here to earn so living expenses as a temporary worker. Don’t take it to heart."
Leah smiled: "I don’t mind."
The manager then walked over briskly: "There’s a small issue with the front desk computer, who knows how to operate a computer, go help out."
Leah raised her hand: "Manager, I minored in computer science in college and have repaired computers for classmates."
Manager: "Go give it a try."
Leah approached the computer, found it was just a minor issue with mory overload. As she handled it, she took a look upstairs at the private room orders when no one was paying attention.
One of the orders for the room nad "Brooks" was from Mr. Hawthorne.
Leah secretly took note of it...
On the other side, Declan Pierce drove Tanya Sinclair to a large supermarket, to buy groceries first, then go ho to cook.
Declan pushed the shopping cart behind, while Tanya picked her favorite items in front, quickly filling the basket with snacks, followed by vegetables and at.
People ca and went around them, and they looked just like an ordinary and loving little couple.
Only, Declan’s appearance was too eye-catching, occasionally drawing side glances.
Tanya had just picked up a box of yogurt, turned around and saw Declan with the small cart stopped by two young won, who holding their phones, seed to muster up the courage to ask for his contact information.
Declan pointed in the direction of Tanya, and the girls turned to see Tanya. One blushed and nodded apologetically, before quickly pulling her friend away.
Declan walked over with the small cart and naturally took the yogurt from Tanya’s hands, placing it in the cart.
Tanya leaned in front of him, blinked: "Aren’t you going to explain?"
Declan smirked a bit: "Explain what?"
"That girl who just flirted with you! Didn’t she ask for your contact information?"
"Yes." Declan answered candidly.
Tanya asked: "And what did you say?"
Declan glanced at her, smiling: "I said, my wife has a big temper, if she knows, she’ll beat up when we get ho."
Tanya: "?"
She looked at Declan’s smiling eyes and couldn’t resist raising her hand to lightly punch him.
Tanya: "Others might think I’m a jealous shrew!"
Declan held her hand, aningful: "So, that’s all you’re denying?"
"..." Tanya was slightly stunned, taking a mont to realize his "my wife" comnt, then her face turned red.
Tanya: "How co I didn’t notice before, you’re so shaless?"
"There’s a lot you don’t know." Declan grasped her slightly chilly hand, placing it into his coat pocket, holding her with one hand while pushing the cart with the other, walking slowly.
Tanya nestled beside him, surrounded by people coming and going, in such a supermarket, all loneliness and pain seed to be washed away.
Tanya saw an elderly couple with gray hair, the wife picking vegetables, the husband opening a bag, obediently waiting for her to put the selected items inside.
The scene almost brought Tanya to tears.
"Declan." She nudged his shoulder,
"Hmm?"
Tanya: "Can we co out to buy groceries often in the future?"
"Sure."
"You’ll cook a lot of als for ."
"Of course."
He agreed to everything she said.
But Tanya didn’t dare to ask sothing else, what if you can’t do it all?
She didn’t dare to think about what if it couldn’t happen.
Declan went to queue up to pay, while Tanya received a call from Aunt Tawny, she stepped outside to take it. Aunt Tawny was asking about a winter coat for Caden, whether she’d stored it away.
Tanya thought for a mont, told Aunt Tawny the exact location in the wardrobe.
After hanging up, Tanya was about to walk over to Declan when her phone rang again.
Only this ti, the caller wasn’t Aunt Tawny, but Zeke Pierce...
