"Welcome, sir." The doorman who recognized Eldrick immediately greeted. Eldrick knew that there would be no disturbance there. Othniel was busy taking care of his pregnant wife and Nicko was busy finishing his new comic.
"Where is Chef Gordon?" Eldrick asked the waiter he had just summoned.
"Chef is busy in the kitchen, sir. Just now Mr. Othniel called him and asked to cook a special menu for his wife. He said Miss Geona was having a craving."
"Okay. Please ask his assistant to cook for both of us."
"Yes sir."
"You heard, right? Your brother-in-law is very crazy about your sister. Besides troubling his assistant, he's also bothering the chef here. I don't want to be a husband like him. My self-esteem will lower if I do it." It was better for him not to marry than to be a victim like his two best friends. If in the past he saw Nicko who turned spoiled because his wife was pregnant, now Othniel has turned into a super protective husband and very spoiled his wife.
"Don't let your own words eat you. What if your fearness happens? Nobody knows about the future, right? Who knows your wife managed to make you crazy." Ozora, who had been crying for a while, decided to speak.
"Insane? All this time it was the woman who was crazy about me."
"Yah-yah. We will see later. I will laugh at you if that happens."
While waiting for the food to come they exchanged stories. Ozora already felt more comfortable with a man other than her family. Moreover, she also knew that Eldrick was a good friend of her brother-in-law.
"Mr. Eldrick!" A woman who had just entered and saw them immediately came over.
"Shayna? What are you doing here?" Eldrick was surprised to see his personal secretary in his restaurant.
"My friend and I would like to have lunch here, sir." Shayna answered but her eyes looked at Ozora intensely as if to ask who that woman was.
"Back with your plans. We will have lunch too." El wouldn't ask his secretary to sit at the same table with them. Outside of work he would treat Shayna like anyone else.
"Who is that beautiful woman?" Ozora leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
"She is Shayna, my personal secretary."
"She is very beautiful. From her appearance, I can already guess that she is a very intelligent woman."
"Hmmm… She is indeed very intelligent and has always been a mainstay in the office. She has been helping me and my sister for a long time."
Ozora's eyes returned to see Shayna who was sitting with her friend. Beautiful, shoulder-length hair and golden brown, tall, slim, and she was very feminine. Very different from Ozora's appearance.
"Don't look at them!" Eldrick's ban brought Ozora back from her daydream.
"That woman's face is familiar for me. I think I know her but where did I meet her?" Ozora was still trying to remember and look back at every layer of memories in her brain.
Many people say that annoying, painful, embarrassing, and scary experiences will be perfectly recorded in the human brain. That happened to Ozora. One of the annoying experiences was the airport. When she wanted to leave for Africa a stranger bumped into her from behind and walked away without apologizing to her. The man did not look away when Ozora's voice was very loud calling him. The unknown man ignored Ozora's almost exhausted voice because she continued to scream.
"Wait! I remember who she was." Ozora got up from her seat when annoying memories flashed through her mind. She walked over to Shayna's desk and spoke to her.
"Excuse me, Miss!" Ozora's arrival and voice caught the attention of Shayna and her friends who were joking.
"Yes. What can I help you with? Did Mr. Eldrick ask us to join his table?" Shayna hoped her boss would do that.
"No, no! I just wanted to confirm something. We met at the airport three years ago. At that time you and your boss were going to Japan. Am I seeing the wrong person?" Ozora wanted to make sure first before she gave the wrong question.
"Japan?" Shayna looked thoughtful. She and her boss often went out of town or abroad to take care of work. "Yes. Three years ago we went to Japan. What's the matter?" Shayna's brows almost knit together and her brow furrowed at Ozora's question.
"Your boss's name is Eldrick Zakharia, right?" Ozora remembered the name clearly. At that time Ozora was so upset because of the man. In the airport waiting room She wrote the name of the rude man in her diary and drew a person next to the name. She scribbled on the writing and the picture to pour her annoyance.
"Yes, you are right. My boss is with you now." Alena's index finger pointed at Eldrick who had been curious about Ozora's behavior.
"He!" Ozora never thought. The man she wanted to chop up was right in front of her eyes. "Are you sure he's the one?" Ozora still hesitated. Their names were indeed the same but it seemed impossible for her to meet the same man. Ireland is a vast country. The owner of the name Eldrick must be many.
"Yes. Your friend is Eldrick Zacharias, my boss. Do you know him?" Shayna asked but Ozora didn't answer. Ozora was too furious and her hands wanted to strangle Eldrick's neck. In reality, suffocating was just Ozora's delusion. She only dared to hit Eldrick's back again and again. "You are a brainless man. You must apologize to me." Ozora held back her anger with a ragged breath.
Eldrick dodged and grabbed Ozora's hand. The woman's body fell on him. As a result, Eldrick lay on the long sofa he had been sitting on and Ozora's body on top of him.
"Why are you suddenly angry?"
"Get up" Ozora didn't care about the people who saw them. She just wanted to vent her annoyance.
