Their moment of silence lasted for a mere second as she turn her attention to the boy seating next to her. In a soft tone, Karol asked; "What's your name boy?"
"Jake, mam,"
"What a handsome name for a handsome boy," said Karol while praising him making Jake smile sheepishly.
"Where do you live Jake?"
"Just around the corner like a 20-minute walk from here"
"You are the oldest?"
"No, I'm the second oldest"
"Where's your brother?"
"He's working at another place not far from here"
Christian was silent the whole time while observing Karol and Jake interaction while gaining a little information about him.
"How many siblings do you have?"
"3, my big brother, me and my younger sister,".
"Oh, that's so cute! I bet she's a sweetheart and head-turner baby girl"
Out of nowhere, Christian suddenly join their conversation as he asked; "How long have you been here Jake?" in his authoritative tone that makes Jake stiffen up.
He replied; "3 years, we have been here for 3 years Sir while looking down at his hands in a nervous voice.
"Oh Christian, don't scare the kid,"
Karol couldn't help but to remind him as she rolls her eyes to him but he ignore his mate's reminder and asked again in the same tone; "What's your last name?" as he still looked at Jake.
"Creed Sir, it's Creed"
Karol quickly interjects their interrogating style conversation; "What a cool name," trying to make the whole situation into a normal and smooth conversation.
"If-if, you excuse me can I please go to the loo?"
"You don't need to ask permission Jake, you can just go,"
"Sorry,"
With that being said Jake quickly stands up and heads over to the toilet area while still keeping his head low.
"Christian?! Can you be a little kind to that boy? He looks petrify towards you"
With a smirk, plaster on his face; "Hahaha, a little intimidation won't bring any harm to him" he sips his red wine looking at his mate lovingly.
Karol scoff at Christian; "Whatever weirdo. Oh yea, do you know about his family?" before she asked as she leans forward where her attention is fully on him. Christian who was loving the attention quickly replied;
"No, I don't"
"Then why did you ask for his last name?"
"In case I know what's his family history,"
"But you don't? Aren't you suppose to be the person who knows everyone in this place?"
"Yes but I don't, not any more,"
Christian quickly fishes his phone out of his pocket, types something in his phone before putting it back down then focus back on his mate who was smirking while raising her eyebrows.
"Asking your assistant to run a background check on him huh?"
Christian smiles looked at her and nod slightly thus making Karol scoff at his action before shaking her head. Just as then, Jake walk over to them timidly and seat down at the chair making himself smaller in front of them both.
"Jake boy, you don't need to be scared of us. We're human you know"
"It's rude for me a lower class to be even sitting at one table with my big boss and my high ups,"
His replies make Karol slight angry as her loving expression turn to an annoyed expression.
"Who says that?".
"It is known mam in this society, one who is a lower status should not seat or be at the same room with high up people unless you're one of them,"
"Oh really?! Then fuck the high up and their privilege invisible badge or their ranks in the place where the sun won't shine cause that attitude isn't welcome in my circle,"
Seconds after Karol small tiny burst of annoyance towards the society thinking their conversation cut by their food as it is being served beautifully thus makes her to smiles at that sight.
"Let's dig in,"
Karol quickly grabs her fork and knife as she tries to cut her grilled lamb. A few minutes have passed yet still she haven't finished cutting her grilled lamb into bite pieces as in between cutting her food she helped Jake to cut his.
Without thinking Christian proceeds on cutting a few of his food then trade with his mate's plate as he silently cut it easily into bite pieces. Karol who was busy cutting food for Jake looked at him and smile.
She then let Jake do the rest while she waited for her food, while waiting she couldn't resist stealing a few pieces off from Christian plate that was seating luring her to eat right in front of her.
After finishing cutting the meat like a professional, Christian switch back their plates making Karol smile widely at him and give him a small flying kiss showing her gratitude for helping her.
'How I wish she really kisses us right here right now' said Arlo through their mind-link in which Christian replied; 'That will be heaven' as he takes a bite of his food while smiling sweetly at his mate.
Arlo in an annoyed tone suddenly scold Christian through their mind-link; 'You stupid human need to get away from that bitch before our mate gets angry', as Christian respond; 'Working on it' then he shut their link down.
"Ahh, you are younger than I am like a year younger,"
"Yes, mam"
"Jake, you need to stop calling me mam. You can call me Karol and it's a demand since I'm older than you"
"Oo-okay, Karol,"
Like a friend out for lunch, the trio ended their lunch with a happy and hearty meal before they part ways.
"Bye Jake and don't forget to always eat on time okay,"
"Yes, Karol I will always remember your words. I got to go now, my brother is here" said Jake as he pointed at the truck that was parked at the parking lot but visible to the others.
"Okay, bye and take care,"
"You too Karol, bye"
With that Jake walk over to the parked truck not noticing Karol knowing small smirk before she changes it to a soft smile when he turns to wave back at her. Without wasting any more time, both of them then hop into Christian's car and peel away from the restaurant heading towards the office again.
