Leigh was dumbfounded, she thought she would go downstairs to the 70th floor and eat in the dining room as usual. She didn't think that he would eat together with her. for these few days, he had not seen him eating in the dining room. His thoughts flew to the night before. Of course, he ate in the other room. She slapped her forehead inwardly. It was foolish of her not to think about it.
Seeing Leigh still frozen in her chair, Kendric turned around, tilting his head slightly, confused. "Leigh, you're not coming?" he asked patiently. They still have 50 minutes to the morning training session after all.
"Huh" she froze, she was still in a daze with her thoughts "Ah... yes" she awkwardly got up and walked towards Kendric, awkward.
She cursed herself, again she embarrassed herself in front of him. She bit her lower lip to stop herself from cursing herself out loud.
Anxiety filled her mind, she didn't want the events that happened at the dinner table the previous night to happen again.
When they reached the entrance to the opposite room. "Hmm… Mr Osvaldo…" she mumbled with her head bowed slightly, her hands intertwined in front of her stomach, her voice stuttering as she glanced up at Kendric. She could see his right eyebrow rising, his face contorted.
Her heart pounding, she realized that she had made another mistake. She straightened up, nervous, but still with her head slightly lowered she said "I mean Ken...." She trailed out the last word of his name, she saw the satisfaction on his face.
She steeled herself to say what she wanted to say "It's very inappropriate for me to have breakfast here with you. It seems unfair to other trainees, it will also become a source of gossip for others if others find out. Allow me to have breakfast in the dining room as usual along with the other participants. Please" she said that very carefully so as not to make Kendric misunderstand what she meant.
She really wished she could eat in the dining room. The reason she made was not just an excuse, because she didn't want to cause misunderstandings between other trainees. So, here she was, pleading with him with a puppy face.
Kendric narrowed his eyes, no answer coming out of his sensual lips. In researching Leigh's expression. He thought for a moment, until what seemed like a long time for Leigh just to give her his permission.
But Kendric's next answer made her jaw drop "Then let's eat in the dining room" without waiting for Leigh's response, he turned around to walk towards the elevator.
Leigh's eyes were wide open, her mouth dropping until almost touch to her collarbone. 'What! what's happen with him. why is it so hard to let go of her' Leigh cursed silently. After all, doesn't he already have food available inside? What happened to the food? will be wasted. Tck, rich people never feel grateful. She curses him inwardly.
She followed Kendric's footsteps behind him saying "Hmm... Ken... don't you already have food available inside, it would be wasted to just throw it away" because she followed him with her head looking at the floor, she didn't know if Kendric stopped sudden. Her head hit his back.
Leigh froze in place. She cursed herself again, her face contorted, embarrassed.
Kendric turned his body to face her. He saw how embarrassed she was standing there. His lips pursed slightly. "How about, the food is wrapped, then we could give it to the homeless around here?" if he wanted to, he could just tease her right now. Her red earlobes, she must be very embarrassed right now. but he chose to reply to her words.
Leigh raised her head, looking at Kendric. She knew very well at this moment her face was crimson red. But she couldn't help. His words made her even more embarrassed. She raised her hand, scratching the back of her head, which basically didn't itch. It was just a reflection of her nervousness. She had no other idea, other than nodding in agreement.
"Good, I'll get someone to wrap it up. Now, let's go to the dining room" without wanting any other argument, he turned his body. Step to the elevator.
Leigh let out a shaky breath. Reluctantly she followed Kendric into the elevator.
When they arrived at the dining room, the atmosphere was already bustling. But the crowd had half disappeared. When they saw who entered the dining room.
For those who knew who Kendric was, they immediately bowed their heads respectfully on the spot, without standing up and making a fuss to the sound of chairs creaking as they stood. It's not that they don't respect him but that's what Kendric wants, he doesn't want it in an informal setting, everyone gives full respect to him. He like casualty.
As for the trainees who don't know who Kendric is, even though they have seen him always present at every training session, even last night they saw him come to the scene, but no one dared to speak. They all looked at him in awe. Who is not lulled by a handsome, tall man with a classy and elegant appearance, like a rich man. If they could hope, they wanted to be able to say hello and approach him and get to know him.
And this time they looked enviously at the person standing beside him. How could she come with him, and now standing beside him? Is it because of what happened last night? Rumors circulated that last night the people standing outside Leigh's room listened to this handsome man's words. There are those who doubt this statement. but with the sight before them now, they believed the rumors circulating. Makes the envy of fellow participants. How could they not, she is just a trainee and only joined the company for three months but has already received special treatment.
Vhaken who saw Leigh's arrival, his face immediately brightened, but the next second it turned dark and squinted sharply at the man standing on her side. He waved his hand, but because Leigh lowered her head, so she didn't see the wave of his hand. he clenched his fists, while watching the two-walk in.
Kendric led the way, Leigh following behind, walking towards an empty table in the corner of the room. Somehow all the tables look occupied, but this one table can be left empty, she curious. 'Ah, this is just a coincidence,' she thought to herself.
As she walked past the tables, the whisper was heard. Their eyes were fixed on Leigh. Squinting their eyes with gazes, some were disdainful, curious, and envious. Leigh heard some of those whispers, as they were spoken in a voice that could still be heard. Now she regretted proposing to eat here. She walked behind Kendric with her head down, embarrassed.
On the other hand, Kendric clearly heard all the whispers, but he didn't care, he still walked casually towards the table that had been prepared for him. He gave Ezra an impromptu order the second he told Leigh he would eat with her in the dining room. Ezra, who was at the moment in the dining room, immediately moved quickly to clear one table by asking the person sitting at that table to move and join another table.
The two of them put their bags, or whatever they were carrying on the table. Then the two of them walked towards the food counter. Take each other's food. After that return to the table to eat together.
