Back In The Game

CHAPTER 10

3rd Person's Pov

Alodia shortly arrived after the small incident and rushed to check up on Aleah.

"Are you alright? Were you hurt?" she asked as she checked her body.

"Yes, I'm fine, no one hurt me. Someone just tried to get a picture, I didn't expect that your bodyguard is capable of that." She chuckled. She sighed in relief and thanked the bodyguard.

"Make sure that he will be reported in the police station." The staff nodded. "We will go first now; I'll see you again." She waved as the car started to start.

Alodia turned to Aleah. "Alright, what actually happened back there?" Aleah shrugs and answered.

"I felt someone was taking a picture and I was right. I always felt that back when I was in Singapore. I guess my presence of mind and observation comes in handy in those situations."

Alodia could sigh in relief as Aleah is safe and sound. She was worried that someone might really take a picture of her and leak it. After all, it wasn't known that Aleah is here in Tagaytay.

"I'll make sure nothing happens here again. Should I take you home instead?" Alodia was worried that Aleah might be tired because of that small incident but she glared at her.

"No, it was just a small incident. That wouldn't affect my mental state. That happens a lot. Let's proceed to the restaurant Ate Alodia. We couldn't let Boss Tryke and Kairi wait in vain because of it."

Aleah didn't let Alodia have a choice and just agreed to her decision. They shortly arrive at the restaurant where Boss Tryke and Kairi were waiting. As arriving inside the restaurant, it could be understood that this restaurant provides privacy to its customers.

"Boss Tryke is really considerate of our meeting. And he really did take note that you are strictly not allowed to gain attention." Alodia nods in approval of Boss Tryke's restaurant pick. Aleah giggled.

"I will lead you to the room. Right this way, Ma'am." The waiter guided them to the room where they will meet them. "We have arrived." She said and opened the door revealing Boss Tryke and Kairi discussing something. They turned to see that they had arrived and welcomed them.

"I have yet to order. I don't have an idea what Miss Aleah wants." Boss Tryke said while scratching his head of nervousness. Aleah smiled.

"Thank you for the consideration, let's proceed to order then." They called in the waitress to get their order.

"Is there anything that you're allergic to?" Alodia asked Aleah while looking at the menu.

"I'm allergic to anything that has shells." She answered. Alodia nodded and proceeded to order the food.

Their table consists of a round table good for four, there is also a small chandelier and TV so they won't be bored while waiting for their order. Aleah felt someone's stare, she looked to her peripheral vision and saw that Kairi is staring at her. She turned to him in a questionable face.

"Is there a problem?" she asked. Kairi shook his head.

"No, I'm debating with myself of what I can do to make a conversation with you." He told her honestly. She mouthed an 'o'.

"Then shall we continue our conversation from earlier? What was it anyway?" she couldn't remember their conversation topic which Kairi, also forgot about it.

"I kind of forgot what our topic is." They looked at each other and burst out a chuckle.

"Then shall we just have a random topic? Like how did you took an interest in becoming a professional esports player?" As the question goes, Kairi answered without hesitation and Aleah was just listening to his story. About how he built his career, his friends, teammates, and more until they didn't notice that the food is served.

Alodia and Boss Tryke didn't bother to tell the two because they don't have the heart to interrupt their conversation. They let them have their moments and proceed to eating first.

As they shared their life, Boss Tryke and Alodia just listened to the two and would sometimes have their conversation of their own.

Their lunch ended with them being full on their stomach. Kairi and Aleah are still talking whereas Boss Tryke and Alodia are by the window, talking about something important.

"I just remembered; I am currently following you on Instagram." Kairi randomly opened up.

"Oh? Let me see." She said and opened her phone. "What is your Instagram?" She hands her phone to him. Kairi took it and type his username in Instagram.

"Here it is." He handed it back. Aleah clicked follow and showed her screen to him. "Now we're mutual following on Instagram." She smiled. They are about to have another conversation when Alodia interrupted them.

"Aleah, it's time for us to go, your manager texted me that you have a schedule at 2:00PM."

"Really? I thought I am on a break." She grunted. "I'll see you when I see you then." She said to Kairi. "Thank you for the meal, Sir Trkye! I'll be seeing you again soon." Boss Tryke saluted.

"I'll message you." Kairi whispered enough that Aleah could hear it. She grinned to tease him.

"See you again soon, Kairi."

"Yeah, I hope to see you again." He replied and waved as Aleah and Alodia walked through the door. Boss Tryke noticed Kairi's behavior and smirked.

'hmm, interesting.' He thought.
