Chapter 6

Mew's

I don't understand the look on their faces especially Gulf's when we finally settled down on our table. Their faces is unusually sour as if they had lost their appetite the moment they saw the person that I came along with.

I was talking to one of my subordinates over the phone when the guy suddenly approached me and introduced himself as the same guy who bought some drinks for me last night, which I obviously ignored.

I tried to get away from him by blabbering some excuses using my band mates. But it turns out that he's their junior and he said he wants to bond with us today.

And of course, I'm not dense. I know his agenda and it's kind of irritating me but I don't have a choice. As much as I want to get rid of him, I can't risk my band mates' relationship with him. There's a possibility that he'll vent it out to them if ever I made a wrong move.

Such a great way to start welcome me in my first day here, right? Tsk.

Even Mark seems uneasy when he saw me walking towards him with this guy and now that we're seated in the table, telling our orders to the waiter, I can feel my head throb as he keeps on talking to me. I'm slowly losing my patience and I'm afraid that I might snap at him in any minute.

But I managed to maintain my straight and uninterested face as he blabber things that I don't even understand.

"What's your order, Mew? My treat." He suddenly asked so I looked at him.

"No need." We all looked at Gulf when he's the one who answered AA and not me. "A-ah, w-well, Tong already ordered something for him. Right, Tong?" Tong's eye widened because of what he said and I can't help but frown when I saw Gulf poking his side under the table.

'What the hell is wrong with these people?'

"Then, I'll just pay for the whole meal--"

"No need." Gulf was the one who interrupted him again. AA looked at him with furrowed brow.

"Don't tell me it's also Tong's treat?" AA raised the side of his lips as if he's mocking Gulf.

"I-it's actually Mild's treat. Right, Pal?" He then looked at Mild with unusual wide eyes and ridiculous smile as if telling Mild to just agree with him. And I can't help but to smirk when Mild reacted.

"Aow? Me?! I only came here because Kenji told me that it's free and he'll treat me but now I am the one to treat all of you?!" Mild exclaimed before standing up. "This is not cool, Gulf. You know that I'm broke right now--"
