“Sorry Ash, need to satisfy my babe” Jake said as he continued with Cindy.
 
Ashley scoffed.
 
The waitress soon arrived and they all told her the dishes they picked not without the waitress giving Cindy and Jake an obviously weird look.
 
They were in the V.I.P section of the restaurant.
 
[ They’ve mostly seen the face of Ashley Brooks, she attends the most expensive college in Las Vegas and you must have a formidable background ,if you post any picture of Alfred as his worker in the hospital, consider yourself fired, and Miranda of course, she’s got the biggest bakery with delicious snacks ]
 

“You guys are so shameless, I think she saw the sinfulact Jake was doing to you. Oh God, why this friends?” she asked funnily.
 
“oh my gosh, Ash look, Martha is behind you “ Cindy said tapping her.
 
Ashley went stiff.
 
“Is she alone?” Ashley asked nervously.
 
“Nah, she’s with her bitchy friends and Noah that’s always around her like a fly” Jake said disgustingly.
 
“Oh no, I really want to see her, guys can you help me please, I don’t want her to see me in an embarrassing manner.” She said fidgeting.
 
“Chill Ash, you’re trembling like a fish” Cindy cussed.
 
The waitress came with their food and directly placed on the table.
 
“Hey Cindy, is that Ashley ?” Martha waved at them as she noticed Cindy and Jake but Ashley backing her.

“uhmm ye-
 
“Hi Martha, yes I’m the one, we we- came to the same restaurant” Ashley said cringing cutting off Cindy.
 
She noticed how she looked very cute today with her pearl jewelries adorning her neck and hair, she looked like second Aphrodite.

Ashley was drooling.
 
While her friends were chuckling.
 
She quickly turned to her food and stuffing the food in her mouth like an hungry hippo.
 
“Slow down Ash, what’s the rush ? I thought you wanted to talk to your girlfriend” Jake said teasing her.
 
She was really shy at the moment and her cheeks were visibly red.

Martha’s friends and Noah ignored them because they’re not on talking terms.
 
“Let’s eat and leave guys, this place is so tense” Ashley said as she gulped her drink hurriedly.
 
“okayy crusher” Cindy teased her the more.

<>Nora's apartment<>

She was coming out of the kitchen with steaming noodles in her hand.

She dropped it on the table and went to pick her cat food.
  
“Blue, come and eat ” Nora said placing the bowl near his litter box.
  
The cat purred as he lowered his head to eat.
  
She left for the dinning before her noodles got cold.
  
Her phone ringing, she groaned when she saw her momon the caller.

She picked up hesitantly.
  
Her mom’s rant began.

“ So you can’t call to check our welfares right Nora? You forgot us ? What if we ran out of groceries, or what if we were homeless now? Your job’s more important than us ? ”
  
Nora was really getting an earful.
  
“Ok mum, I’ll call daily from now on, Happy now?” Nora said already annoyed.
  
“Better, your father wants to speak with you” Mrs. Hwang said in satisfaction as she hand over the phone to her husband.
  
“Drama Queen” Nora thought shaking her head at her mother’s behavior.
  
“Tae-min” only her father calls her korean name.
  
“(Appa ) Dad, I missed you ” i said softly.
  
“You missed me but didn’t call ? Where’s your boyfriend tae-min, give him the phone.” Mr Jung waiting to hear his voice .
  
“ Dad, I don- ”
  
“ don’t tell me you’re still single or you’re a lesbian” her dad exclaimed cutting her off.
  
“No dad, and there’s nothing wrong with gay ok” Nora laughed.
  
She rolled her eyes knowing this was the main reason they called her.
  
“ok dad, good night ,sweet dreams muah, muah” she quickly off the phone.
  
She would wake up early tomorrow morning. She set the alarm.
  
She wore her pyjamas and her face mask, laid on the bed before taking it off.
  
Her mind drifted to the scenes which occurred at the park.

“ he really is careless to leave his niece wandering off like that, his smile surely is to die for (remembering the part he said ‘thank you’) and he’s also a gentleman.” She chuckled at her thoughts.
  
“ wait, I’m not supposed to be thinking about my boss, eww” she said making funny faces.
  
“I’m going to see him tomorrow, oh no” Nora drawled.

At the thought of thought of that, her face flushed as she scream in her pillow.
  
Such a handsome darksinned dude, Alfred Brooks is.
