Gael was pulled from his train of thoughts when Angela placed her hand on his thigh, stopping his movement. He met her eyes, and that's when he realized that Chairman Su had called his attention. "...I hope it's okay, we already ordered before coming to the restaurant. They have excellent food here, so anything you'd pick would be worth the experience," said the older man.
Ah. The menu. Gael received it from the staff and smiled at her father. "So I've heard." Then he slightly turned his head to her. "Angel. What do you suggest?" His voice softened.
She leaned towards him, her hand still on his thigh as her eyes perused the menu. He liked her hand there. It was warm... If she could just move it upward just a little—that would be great.
"Hmmm… Spice flank steak with creamy gin sauce and watercress is Dad's favorite." Looking up to him, she curled her lips into a charming smile. "I think you will like it too."
