Capítulo 18: Young
Lily was perplexed by her outfit. Angelina insisted on them wearing such clothes, and she now regretted agreeing with her. They were dressed casually and were sitting in a high-end restaurant. They appeared underdressed for dinner in such an opulent setting. Waiters had already begun to make strange faces at them.
She assumed that if they didn't have a VIP membership card, they wouldn't be allowed in.
She was now eager to finish her meal and leave this place as soon as possible. Angelina gave Lucy a wry smile as she sat with her head down. She was acting like an ostrich, burying his head in the sand and hoping the problem would go away. Angelina shook her head; if problems could be solved simply by avoiding them, life would be simpler and possibly boring.
"How much longer are you going to act like an ostrich?" Angelina inquires as she takes a sip of water.
Lucy raised her head only to look at her boss, who was sitting there leisurely. "Don't make me your target, Angelina. I don't think I've offended you in any case," she grumbled.
Angelina gazed out the window, taking in the night scene. "You are my right hand. How can you think I'll play tricks on you?" She shifted her gaze from the window to her and said, placing her hand on the left side of her chest. "It hurts, you know."
Lucy rolled her eyes at her melodramatic expression. "You have no idea how to act, so don't even try."
Lucy noticed after some time that Angelina had not ordered any food. She was already itching to get out of here, but her boss was taking her time. She noticed her enjoying the night view outside the window.
'She doesn't need to come here if she wants to enjoy the night view.' She thought to herself.
"Cough, Angelina, you're not going to order anything. I had a very busy day today, and I am now extremely hungry." Lucy rubbed her stomach, which had flattened as a result of hunger.
"We have some guests coming for dinner, and I'm waiting for them." Angelina responded
Hearing that some people were joining them. A bad feeling rose in her heart.
Lucy sat there with her head down, lost in thought. She heard the sound of a chair moving and raised her head to see that the guests who were supposed to join them tonight had finally arrived.
She was taken aback when she noticed Andrew and Grayson were the ones who accompanied them to dinner. The worst part was that they were both dressed perfectly in gentlemanly suits making her feel out of the place.
Andrew was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt underneath. While Grayson was dressed in a beige suit.
Both men were taken aback when they saw the two ladies dressed casually. They both appeared to be quite young. Even in such casual attire, neither of them looked out of place.
Grayson noticed Lucy's strange expression and thought his outfit was unflattering. He had taken his time selecting this outfit in order to impress her. 'Did he fail?'
"Lucy, what would you like to eat?" While passing her the menu, he attempted to strike up a conversation with her.
"Huh," Lucy snorted as she accepted the menu.
Angelina quietly looked at the two people who were acting like teenagers. She felt a hot gaze on her and turned to face the person staring at her. "Do you have any thoughts on how I dressed today?" Angelina said this with a playful smirk on her lips.
"You appear to be quite young in this outfit." In one sentence, Andrew complimented her.
Angelina looked at him, expecting him to add more compliments, but she didn't hear any more. She turned to look for another target after she had had enough of him.
"Grayson, your artist, said I look quite young today. So, what do you think about who appeared to be younger?" She pointed a finger towards her and asked "Me or the beautiful lady sitting beside you."
Grayson was about to take Lucy's name when he was met with a pair of cold eyes that sent shivers down his spine.
"Err.. You were both dressed similarly. It appears that you were both twining the outfit. So you both look like twins."
"Hmm, but in twins, one of them is older than the other." Angelina tried to make things difficult for him.
Grayson felt like he had become the evil couple's (future couple's) target. He turned to look at Lucy looking for some help.
Lucy was relieved that she was not the target of Angelina's amusement. When she notices a poor man's pitiful gaze on her, she ignores him completely.
"I have poor vision. I can't tell who is younger than who. Go ask this question to the person beside you." Grayson tosses the hot potato at Andrew.
"Mr. Superstar, who do you think is looking younger?
" You" Andrew replied in a heartbeat.
His direct response surprised Angelina. She expected him to respond in a roundabout way. He... He was too direct.
Lucy also choked on her saliva hearing his reply.
Grayson was enraged by his response. He has no right to call his girl older. He really wanted to punch his face.
Andrew thought Angelina's stunned expression was cute. "If you don't agree with me you can ask your assistant slash friend. She'll agree with me that you look quite young in this casual attire, which appears to be quite comfortable. Next time, I'll wear some casual clothes to appear younger."
"Don't try to pull me in your matters." Lucy snorted at him.
"I am hungry and waiting for both of you with my empty stomach. Take pity on this poor soul and let's order dinner."
They finally began to order their food. Andrew was in charge of Angelina's meal. He took a close look at the menu to see what was nutritious.
Angelina was feeling quite good seeing that there was someone who was looking after her meal. She couldn't recall anyone caring if her stomach was empty or not. Eating food was a kind of survival task for her.
"Snap!! How did you get lost?" Andrew drew her attention with a snap of his finger.
Angelina propped her elbow on the table as she placed her chin on her hand. "I was considering how much it would cost to hire you as my personal nanny."
As if in deep thought, he placed his finger on his chin. "Are you willing to give me whatever I ask for?"
"First and foremost, tell me what you want. What if you ask for my wealth?" Angelina said with a frown on her face.
Andrew laughed as he heard her response. She was worried about her wealth. He wasn't interested in her money.
Looking at her frown, he wished he could ruffle her hair. It was as if his hand had its own mind when he touched her hair.
Both of them froze for a moment.
"What the hell are you trying to do? Don't try any sneak attacks." Angelina tilted her head to remove his hand from her head.
Andrew awkwardly retracted his hand. He noticed two pairs of pity-filled eyes staring at him.
He scratched his nose. He also began to feel sorry for himself.
