Allysa pov
"Hello, welcome to our restaurant. Did you made reservation?" A young brunette asked
"Yes, Jordan Lightwood" Jordan replied
The girl looked at her tablet before guiding us to our seats
"This way please" we followed her to our seat and then she took our orders.
A few minutes later we were having our dinner with a good wine. Jordan was trying to keep some conversations so that I won't feel bored but suddenly something caught my eyes.
It was Jared, he was sitting few tables away from us. And he was with some girl. His eyes were on mine, staring at me like he wanted to rip me apart.
His gaze was very intense that made me feel shaken on my seat
"Hey, are you okay?" Jordan asked
"Yeah" I answered but my eyes were still on Jared that made Jordan to look too.
"Do you know him? An ex?" He asked
"He is my boss" I answered
"Oh really? Then we should go and say hi" he stood up quickly, I didn't have a chance to refuse so I had to follow.
"Good evening, I'm Jordan" he greeted Jared
"I know who you are" Jared replied "I'm Jared"
"You do? Well, I didn't know who you were, but I'm glad to meet you" Jordan said as they shake hands.
Why do they look like they are low key fighting? Gosh
"Okay so we came to say hi, we won't take much of your time" I said motioning Jordan to leave
"No, actually we would love to sit with you. Why don't you stay for a while?" Jared suggested
"Um-" I found an excuse but it never came so I looked at Corra for help
"But Jared, we are on a date" Corra whinned pulling on his hand. I rolled my eyes
"So are they. Besides, we have already talk about important matters let's have fun" Jared said
"Yes Lysa let's have fun" Jordan replied before pulling a seat for me and then for himself.
I was shifting in my seat uncomfortably. I have never imagined that one day, I would be caught up in this situation.
Right now, I don't know what I'm feeling inside. I feel like pulling Jared and claim him infront of everyone. But also I don't want to hurt Jordan.
"Right Allysa?" Jordan's voice got me out of my train of thoughts.
"What? Yeah right" I gave him a smile then lift my glass of wine and take a big gulp. I don't even know what they were talking about
"Oh, I didn't know that you were that close" Jared replied
But something else caught my eyes, Jared looked pale. His skin was too light and his lips were cracking. Also he kept massaging his temple every two minutes. Is he sick?
"Jared, are you okay?" I asked with concern "you look pale"
"I'm okay" he replied coldly "just tired. Corra can you go to the reception and take the key card? And also do what we have talked about" he said and then Corra stood up and left
"Are you staying here tonight?" I asked
"Yeah, I'm too tired to drive home" he replied
"Well, that's good cause we're staying here too. Right Jordan?"
