The next day after the office party, Emily called Sunnet. She found out some information on Dina, but she didn't learn a lot. Sunnet laughed and told Emily a few things that she remembered. She and Dina were never friends, but she remembered seeing her when Dina was younger.
She had two more clients and then her job was done. She'd miss her friends here, but she was more than ready to go home and start her family. Sunnet finished her day knowing that Emily was like a dog with a bone. Daniel was in for it.
The next day, Emily called Sunnet again. She found some new information, so she solicited Sunnet's help. Sunnet loved it. She'd never seen Daniel so perplexed before. She could tell he was distracted, because he had the goofiest grin at the oddest times.
Daniel was meeting with a client. He had no idea what the guy was talking. Since the office party a few days, only one thing occupied his mind.
I wonder where Dina is? I wonder if she is seeing someone? If I asked her out, would she go out with me? Daniel thought as his client talked. Realizing he was still negotiating with a client, he chimed in on a few point, then let his thoughts go back to the raven-haired beauty that served them drinks.
Soon, the client had questions. Daniel had to make himself focus. He answered the man's questions and stated that he'd research and share options with him at their next meeting. The client was satisfied, and they shook hands. After the man left, Daniel realized he was hungry.
He decided to visit the vending machine and grab a snack. "Hey, Daniel, have you had lunch yet?" Sunnet asked.
"No, I was about to..." Daniel started to reply.
"Great, you can drive. There's a new diner I want to try. Emily told me about it. Jacob has my car today so I need a ride." Sunnet explained. As they walked to his car, they passed Jacob's truck. Daniel frowned.
Sunnet laughed. "The truck is too large to drive down town." She explained.
Five minutes later, they were parking at the Tastee Hastee Café. Daniel frowned, but he followed her inside. Sunnet smiled and asked the cashier which tables were D's. She told her then told D she had customers.
Dina walked out and saw him. He was sitting with Sunnet. For a second she was peeved, but then she saw her engagement ring glistened. Dina walked over and greeted her customers. "Hey Sunnet, Sir welcome to the Tastee Hastee, what can I get you guys to drink?" She asked.
Daniel was dumbfounded. She was here. She was five minutes away from his job. She was talking to him. Sunnet ordered a tea and Daniel mumbled something. "Excuse me, Daniel, what did you say?" Dina asked.
"Um, a tea. That's fine." He mumbled a bit louder.
Dina was taken aback. He seemed so short with her, but she smiled and said, "I'll be back to take your orders in a few minutes."
After she left, Sunnet kicked his foot. "Apologize when she comes back."
"What? I didn't do..." he stammered as Dina returned.
Sunnet glared at him. Dina brought their drinks. "Have you two decided what you would like, or do you need more time?" she asked.
Daniel was still sitting and looking disgruntled. He came across as so confident, but the truth was he was incredibly shy. "Um, Dina, what would you recommend?" Sunnet asked.
Dina smiled, "We have a delicious half sandwich and soup. If you want something else, our cook makes an amazing bacon burger."
Sunnet smiled, "I'll have a ham and cheese half sandwich and broccoli soup."
