Lina did not have to think for long because Reuben let go of her hand when they reached the table.
He pulled the chair for her like the gentleman that he was and sat opposite to her.
After she sat down, Lina's head was lowered and she was lost in her thoughts, therefore she did not realize the uncomfortable atmosphere around her.
The others felt like they were unwanted guests because Reuben never even looked at them twice.
'Nana, stop acting like this is the first time you've held a guy's hand!' She shook her head and looked up.
"So, what shall we eat?" She went back to her normal cheerful state and asked everyone.
A waiter came and took their orders and once again there was awkward silence enveloping the entire room.
Lina looked at Benji, expecting him to say something that would ease the tension.
'You want my help now? Should have thought of that when you left me alone with Kirk!' He sneered and ignored her.
