"I don't like this. Call the manager." He said with a laugh, his friends shared it.
The poor waitress ran.
Then she came, the beauty he fell for, the girl his friends made a bet that he wouldn't be able to date.
"You asked for me." She said calmly...
"Make him another one and fucking taste to check it!" My voice rang in the kitchen, there was no other sound than the clattering of plates and whispers of the chefs.
I threw my apron and went to my office, my face flushed red before me on the mirror, I shock my head a no and went to the kitchen again.
" Give me an apron! I will do it myself." I said while getting to empty working spot, a chef ran to me and assisted as I made everything, it took less time to cook because of him.
"call a waiter and tell him to deliver this." I said decorating the plate with green herbs.
A young boy ran up for me and took the plate from me, I went to my office and rested, If I go back to the kitchen I will end up fighting all of those workers and my throat already hurts.
My phone started buzzing in the table, I took the phone and answered quickly.
"yes dad." I said.
"Ahh... Can you come back home early today? To get ready and look your best for our guests?" he said with a light fatherly laugh at the end.
"Of course. Give me fifteen minutes." I said and ended the call.
I called the driver and told him to get the car ready, I ran down and got into the car, the breeze of the air conditioner hitting my face making my whole body relax.
I pressed the pin for the door, a soft click sound came out, The house were more filled with people, more maids and cooks, a still on work buffet was prepared.
Dad stood in the middle while looking at them work, he opened his arms for me to hug him, I quickly hugged his bonely body, he brushed my hair and gestured at the buffet.
"Let's hope you will like this one." he said and hummed in the end.
At least he doesn't force me. I always tell myself, he never forces me to meet a man I didn't like twice. I kissed his cheeks and went to my room and changed to this...

I did minimum makeup and pulled my hair back to a ponytail, the door was knocked and opened, a girl whispered something about the guests being here, I waved my hand in dismissal and she was gone.
I heard a female voice as I walked down the stairs, I froze at the stairs as I saw who the guy was, he looked as shocked as I am, Heeseung.
I walked my way down and bowed down for them, the women, his mum, held me tightly in a hug and then passed me to her son, I shook his hand and sat down across him near my dad.
"Heeseung, meet my daughter, Aeri." Dad said. Heeseung smiled from across.
"You do have a beautiful daughter, indeed." he said making the hair of my skin stand up.
"I think I do. She probably takes it from her mother." Dad said with a light laugh. Heeseung laughed along as his mum ranted about how perfect her son is.
We didn't talk at all, our parents did it for us, the status, the work pay, the style of living. Everything. Dad realised and nudged my shoulder.
"I would love it if your daughter gave me a tour around this mansion." Heeseung said with a slight smirk.
"Of course, of course! Aeri, show him around." Dad said.
I nodded and walked off, not even waiting for him to catch up, but he did. He snorted something that looked like a laugh.
"Here is the kitchen as you can tell." I said bored. "over there is the libr-" I was cut as he quickly ran and stood in front of me.
"What are you doing?" my law voice echoed.
"Did you really make that crab legs?" he asked. "I asked for the name of the chef who did it and they said that it was you. Did you really make it?"
"Why do you care? Do you want to compliment it?" I speculated.
"It was good." he said and moved out of the way for me to show him around.
"And here is the study room." I said.
"what about this?" he pointed at the door I didn't tell him about.
"that's my room." I said and he looked for me waiting. I realised he's asking if he can have a look, I huffed and opened the door for him.
He looked inside, I thanked good that am organised or I would have had embarrassed myself now.
He smirked at me and took a step closer.
"You... He said and pointed at a picture of me and Mina. I realised too late that he's her friend.
