Diner

Stephen and Laura are enjoying the dinner.

Stephen: Don't need to spend with Jermaine today?

Laura: Of course I do, I'll spend with him after this. How about you? Don't need to spend with Cherry?

Stephen: Cherry is having a dinner with Rachel and Hank them now.

Laura: We both are colleagues also partners, have a dinner also a normal thing. Would you mind I ask you something?

Stephen: Of course not. Just ask.

Laura: I think it's time you and Cherry to plan have your own child, unless you both don't have this plan.

Stephen: We do have. Cherry said just take it easy and not to be anxious, she is just 28 now. Besides, you are close to 30, also no child yet.

Laura: I just met Jermaine 6 weeks ago, I was single all the time before I met Jermaine again. But then again, didn't you have had any girlfriend before?

Stephen: I didn't have, never had once.

Laura: Really? Even a girl who just tried to date with you?

Stephen: About that, I did have. Years ago, I got a girl, who could count as my good friend, but she went to the Hartford university. She told me that she wished I would wait for her.

Laura: Then, did you promise her and wait for her?

Stephen: No. I just kept working and living my life until I met Cherry.

Laura: Just an example. If she was back to look for you, how were you gonna do?

Stephen: I think she would not be back. Most as spending 5 to 6 years at the university, but already over, so I think, nope. Then did you have had a boy who tried to date you before?

Laura: I did have. Dwight was the one and even Amanda was jealous me.

Stephen: But the jealous one and the one got married with each other. By the way, do you think about to get married with Jermaine if he proposes marriage?

Laura: Maybe I will accept. However, we made an agreement that we just keep dating currently. About marriage, not anxious and just take it easy.

Then they keep enjoying the dinner also chatting.

Night

Restaurant inside Lifetime Mall of Bay Area

After work, Rachel, Cherry and Ashley are enjoying the dinner in the restaurant.

Ashley: I wonder where were Hank them going lately.

Rachel: Who knows. Asked them to have a dinner with us but they said they got no time. The point is, 4 of them were not together, 3 of them probably rode the taxi.

Cherry: They probably got the girlfriend or going to the matchmaking date.

Ashley: If that's true then we gotta congratulate them.

Rachel: If that does happen.

Cherry: Better as they are not here.

Rachel: Why?
