Lu stared at the full spread of all sorts of food in front of him yet he did not have the slightest desire to pick up his spoon and indulge. Every minute took him back to his sister who was waiting for him in the hospital. She was probably worried when he did not show up and called him a couple of times. He could feel his phone ringing but he could not pick it up.
The woman in front of him on the other hand looked to be enjoying herself a bit too much. She picked up a piece of shrimp and placed it in her mouth. She chewed demurely and when she had swallowed, she looked up and asked, "Are you not going to eat?"
Lu shook his head but didnt speak. He watched as the woman ate until she was done. The servers came out and took the plates from the table. The woman then turned to him and asked, "Do you fear me? Is that the reason why you are afraid to eat in my presence?"
