Ten Million Dollars Mission

c.18- The kiss

It was unexpected.

And yet satisfying much. In the end, it described how a man in love could do anything to obtain the one he loved. Just like the saying went, 'if he wanted to, he would.' Adelio proved it! "Risa!" Luke waved as the two women approached the men's table after making the order.

"How come you are here?" L threw a query with surprised tone. Shifting her focus on Luke only. On the other side, Adelio's eyes remained on the woman across. He just stared at Risa, in hope to draw her attention. "Oh, I come here often with him" Luke spat a lie. An obvious lie to be exact.

But L did not ask further to expose it due to the fact that she was gratified by the efforts the man put in. She must allow this play to go on. "I did not know you liked street food, Boss" Now, L's gaze fell on Adelio. Making his heart pound in excitement. She noticed him, at last.

"I spend my time here sometimes" Adelio admitted the truth that actually never existed. "Oh, really?" L raised her brow. Earning a nod. "Your order is ready!" The shop owner rushed in with beer, steak salad and fried fish. "This looks really good" "Thank you" L and Mian beamed.

Now, the beer date began.

"It is one true fate that we encountered here. Such a fate" Luke lifted the atmosphere. "Right. Who would have expected this?" L flashed a smile at Luke; upsetting Adelio on the other side unlike Mian who was enjoying her beer in silence. "Boss?" Out of the blue, L called out loud.

Attracting his gaze and others. "Do you not like the food?" She asked. Tilting her head with eyes gleaming in curiosity. She could tell how pissed off the man was due to the fact that she purposely kept on annoying him by giving all the attention to Luke. "No, I enjoy it here"

Adelio denied in hurry. "Have it more then." L offered a piece of steak onto his plate. No matter what, Risa still focused on him. She still cared about him. Adelio soothed himself with the single thought. "If others see us, they will probably think we are two couples on beer date"

Luke chuckled; earning a glare from Mian. "Not two couples. Boss and Risa seem like one but not us, Sir" She asserted. "You two sound more like a married couple to be honest" L teased from the side. Annoying her friend totally. "Not funny, Risa. Not Funny For Real" "Pfft-"

Luke and L cackled at Mian's reaction.

Then, there was Adelio, who was observing Risa. He did not fit in their conversation. Still, he did not think much of it or tried to get in. Because being able to see Risa laugh brightly was sufficient for him to stay here. At least she was having fun in front of his presence.

"Have you been around here before?" L queried Luke. "He does not seem like one to come here often" Mian replied. "She is right. I have never been to this area. I only know this street food stall by chance" Luke disclosed. "What about Boss?" L included the man in.

"Neither have I" Adelio shook his head. "For real? Even though there is famous night view here?" L scowled. "There is one?" Luke's eyes widened. "Didn't you check what's popular before coming here?" Mian looked up at the man. "I did not have time to check" Luke pouted.

"Hey, no worries. We can stroll around to observe the sky after finishing the beer" L grasped the chance. Stunning her friend on the other side. Who was the woman who hated to see these two men here? She changed up quickly! Adelio's eyes lit up in an instant over L's statement.

Finally,

an opportunity for him to be with her more. "That's a great idea!" Luke approved without hesitation. He must pave the way for his friend! They continued to chat. Adelio only stared at Risa. Even Mian participated in the talk. But him, he only enjoyed the view in front of him.
