" If you were a master in dates then why am I feeling humiliated?"
As soon as the words left Isla's lips, Leo eyes widened. He blinked multiple times as he tried to process what she meant.
" I was just teasing." He clarified. He looked kind of horrified.
" Well, yeah, better know your audience next time then."
He looked around and saw that people were looking at them, some of them must've seen the show that he had performed for them.
Of course, anyone would feel humiliated in front of the people when your date is flirting with someone else. Not to mention that he too noticed how aloof Lisa was being with Isla.
" I am sorry. I never meant to humiliate you. I--- I am just not good with this dating thing." He said looking down right ashamed of himself which was a new sight for Isla. He was finally admitting that he too isn't perfect at everything.
Isla looked at her lap , unable to say anything.
" I can't say that it's okay but okay. I think." She added with a shrug as Leo sighed to himself.
Soon , the girl, Lisa, came again. A gentle seductive sway of her hips in every movement she did.
Isla zeroed her eyes on Leo who was already looking at her. Lisa placed the plates gently in front of Leo who paid no heed to her as his gaze remained on Isla the entire time. Then Lisa placed the plate with a thump in front of Isla who was already doing a good job ignoring her.
She step back and looked at Leo, clearly thinking that she would get his attention.
" Thank you." Was all he said as he grabbed the knife and fork in his hands and instantly began to cut the steak and not pay Lisa any attention, which obviously made the waiteress mood to go down.
" Thank you. You may go." This time it was Isla who said that when she noticed that Lisa wasn't going anywhere . Isla gave her a tight smile which obviously looked forced.
The girl turned her gaze towards Isla and eyed her from top to bottom as if searching for what Isla has that she didn't have.
Isla turned to look at her too . She cocked her eyebrow mocking and the Lisa scoffed before leaving them alone.
Isla finally looked at the steak and her stomach instantly growled.
She too began to eat unknowing that Leo was eyeing her every move closely.
" I can continue working as your assistant, right? I mean after I start getting tutoring?" Isla asked because she really wants to keep her job. At first it was just for money but now she has gotten used to it. She likes the rush it provides and she feels as if she is being useful in some way. Also it helps her mind to stay calm because when she has nothing to do, all she could think is how her life had changed completely.
" Of course." Leo said as he cut the steak into smaller piece . " You can continue working if you want. Once you start your college I advise you to quit the job and focus on studying." He said before placing the piece in his mouth.
" You awfully sound as a parent." Isla said with a giggle but she instantly shut up when she gain Leo glaring at her. " I enjoy working at your company. I made some amazing friends too. It would be sad to leave them."
" Let's cross that bridge when we come across it " Leo said , he took a sip of red wine.
They remained silent after that. Occasionally commenting here and there. It was ridiculous to say that they both seem kind of friendly with eachother despite their age difference.
" Does it taste good?" Isla asked as she nodded her head towards the bottle of red wine.
" Wanna try?" Leo asked and didn't even wait for her to answer as he was already grabbing her empty glass and pour a little amount of wine in it. He placed the glass in front of Isla who was eyeing it .
" I have--- I have never had any alcohol before." She confessed , still eyeing the glass.
" Never?" Austin sounded shocked.
" Never." She confirmed.
" Well, there is always a time for first. Drink it. You won't regret." He urged . He has already are his meal as so he pushed the plate aside and took his own glass of wine which had much more quantity than Isla's glass.
Isla eyed the glass for a couple of moments. She didn't looked convinced at all by her husband's words. She glanced at Leo who was silently staring at her with a cocked brow.
And so she took the sip .
And regretted immediately.
" What the hell is this?" She exclaimed as her throat burning . Her face was showing how disgusted she was with the wine.
Leo just Chuckled at her actions. He found her rather amusing. The girl would always show her mature side that sometimes he would forget that she was just a young girl who is technically still a college going student.
" It will feel better after you get used to it. Trust me , you will get addicted in no time." He smirked at her before chucking the entire glass in one go.
" I doubt that it will ever happen." Isla commented as she pushed the wine glass far away from her. The steak was so good but now the disgusting taste of wine has overpowered it.
" We'll see."
" Yeah . We'll see." Isla repeated. " Do you always eat at such luxurious place?" She asked because maybe the food is great and all but still it feels weird to eat in such place where every move of yours is being judged.
" Yeah." Leo said with a shrug of his shoulders. This was his life since he was born. He was practically born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
" Can we have a desert?" Isla suddenly asked, her voice sounded with much more enthusiasm than ever.
" Yeah. What do you want?"
" Not here. "
" What?"
" I know one place. Come." And before Leo can say anything, Isla was already out of her seat.
