"You see, you're a guest, I'll treat you now as a guest. And ... we'll go out again. Then you'll be paying. How 'bout that?"
Hugh was silent, contemplating. He only had a month in the Philippines and this was a good time to get closer to her. Her idea was logical and a reasonable excuse to go out on a date again. Hugh looked at her, being inspired by her suggestion.
'In this one month, I'll make you fall in love with me, Sheila,' he thought.
He didn't know, Sheila was planning the same thing, to make him fall in love with her.
"As you wish, Mademoiselle. Thank you," Hugh said.
"You're welcome, Monsieur."
The two laughed as they walked.
. . . . .
An hour had gone by, the two was not yet back.
"Jenna, I'm hungry, I can't wait anymore." One of the younger cousins said.
I think they went out for a date and forgot about us, Jenna thought.
Jenna sent Sheila a message.
[Me: Don't buy food for us. Just continue with your date.]
[Chef Sheila: Okay.]
