A few days later.

1 pm, Mycroft left the room. Celina went to him and asked "Where are you going?"

"Except for lunch, what can I do else?" Mycroft looked at Celina and asked in a mocking tone.

"I thought you come to Diogenes club" she said. "It was a terrible place. Although I'm the one who likes quietness, I have no way to like it" she mumbled.

"What are you talking?" Mycroft frowned and asked Celina.

"Nothing. I want to ask whether may I come along with you?"

Mycroft looked at her and frowned.

"Why do you go with me while Anthea don't even go?" Mycroft blinked and asked Celina.

"I ... I.... Like last time, she didn't follow you into Mr.Holmes's apartment but I still followed you"

"Because she understands me"

"So, let me follow you to understand you more. I'm trying"

Mycroft looked at Celina, frowned and walked away. Celina followed him.

They got into the car. Mycroft told the driver to go to a luxury restaurant. He turned to look at Celina and gave a sinister smile.

Celina turned to widen her eyes and looked at Mycroft. "He come to a luxury restaurant just for lunch?" she thought and gave a wry smile.

They arrived.

"God, what did I do?" her mouth was wide open when she saw the luxury of the restaurant. "Look at it, it will swallow all my money" she told herself.

"Please close your mouth. Don't overreact like that". Mycroft looked at Celina and gave a sinister smile. She gave a wry smile and followed him.

They sat at the table and watched the menu. "For God, look at these price. They spend such a large amount of money to eat them? God bleed me!". She didn't believe her eyes when looked at the prices. Mycroft glanced up at Celina's reaction and chuckled.

"Are you really here for lunch every day?" she asked.

"No".

"So why do you eat here today?"

"Guess it!" he looked at her and smiled wickedly. She also smiled back with a wry smile.

She looked at the menu and continued watching. "Well, suddenly I feel not good. Maybe I'll go out and wait for you" Celina closed the menu and said.

Mycroft didn't notice her and ordered the same two parts. The waiter took the menu.

Celina asked Mycroft in a small voice "You eat two parts one time?"

"What did you think who I am when you asked me that question?"

"So, whom do you order the other part for?"

Mycroft grimaced at her. "I used to think you're very smart. But now I realize that thinking and reality are really different" he said sarcastically.

"You order for me? You don't need to do that, I'll go out and wait for you"

"You came in with me. Now you go out and don't eat anything and I sat here to eat alone. They will look at me with extremely friendly eyes" he blinked, looked at her and said.

Celina laughed when she saw the expression on his face. "Thank you" she smiled and said.

"I just help you order, I don't say I will pay for you" he continued in a mocking voice. She smiled because she knew he was teasing her.
