Fifteen minutes later, Alfred appeared at a Chinese Food Restaurant and approached Carla who was eating fried rice voraciously. Even though Carla wasn't in a very good mood at that time, she didn't lose her appetite.
Meanwhile, at the Bradley Restaurant Freya had just finished eating. After having dinner with sandwiches and french fries, she rushed to the Chinese Food Restaurant to meet Carla.
When Freya entered the restaurant, she saw Alfred ordering egg fried rice and a ice lemon tea beside the counter.
"Sir, I order 1 portion of egg fried rice and 1 ice lemon tea," said Alfred.
"Alright, Sir. I will make the order first, wait a minute," replied the man sitting behind the counter.
Alfred nodded his head, "Then please deliver my order to table no 12."
"Yes, Sir."
After ordering food and drink, Alfred turned and walked towards the table where Carla was still eating the delicious and fragrant fried rice.
Alfred approached Carla and sat down beside her, "Honey, you must be really hungry."
"Yes, I am really hungry," Carla retorted with her mouth full of food.
"Why you answered so curtly? When I greeted you, you were smiling at me. Now, when I sit next to you, you are even bitchy with your boyfriend," Alfred said, he smiled crookedly at Carla then poked her sharp nose.
"Uh, why are you poking my nose?" asked Carla furiously.
"Erm ... you two are really romantic," joked Freya who suddenly appeared in front of her two friends.
"Hey, Frey. Do you want to eat here too? Come on, join us," said Alfred kindly.
"Thank you for invite me to eat with you guys, I just finished eating," said Freya who was also friendly to the handsome man who was sitting next to Carla.
"Where did you eat?"
"I ate at Bradley's restaurant, Fred," Freya looked deeply at Alfred, then she pulled out a chair and sat in front of her two friends.
They talked to each other, that's how Alfred was always friendly and sweet to anyone. Including his female friends. While dating Alfred who was very handsome and athletic, Carla could only hold back the jealousy in her heart without being able to express her feelings to Alfred.
She loved Alfred so much and tried to stay positive about him, even though the man often spread charm among women.
Carla was silent when Freya and Alfred chatted in front of her, she tried to be nonchalant and control herself, so that her emotions wouldn't explode in front of them.
A few moments later, Carla finished her dinner which was slightly disturbed by the intimacy between Freya and her boyfriend. After eating, she mustered all her courage and asked Alfred.
"Honey, when Freya and I were passing in front of Mrs. Joanne's room, I accidentally overheard your conversation there. Please be honest with me, is Mrs. Joanne pregnant?" asked Carla, staring intently at the man who would soon be Carla's fiancé.
Deg! Deg! Hearing the question addressed to Alfred earlier, suddenly made both Freya and Alfred surprised. Freya rolled her eyes, then leaned forward and brought her face closer to Carla.
"Is it true that Mrs. Joanne is pregnant?? How do you know, Carla??"
"I know from their conversation, Freya. I am sure that Mrs. Joanne is pregnant because she asked Alfred to accompany her to go to the obstetrician," Carla answered bluntly, her beautiful eyes filled with great suspicion for Alfred.
"You must have heard wrong, Carla. Mrs. Joanne didn't ask me to accompany her to the obstetrician, really," Alfred dodged, he smiled faintly trying to cover up his lie, but Alfred's eyes couldn't lie to Carla.
"I didn't hear wrong, Fred. I know you are lying to me," said Carla, at that moment Carla's face and heart felt hot, and she wanted to cry.
"I swear, I didn't lie to you," Alfred's face looked nervous.
"You are lying! Do you think I am a woman who is easily fooled by a man like you?! I love you with all my heart, but you care more and more about Mrs. Joanne!" Carla shrieked, she glared coldly at Alfred.
"Carla! Please, control your emotions!" Alfred grabbed Carla's shoulder, he warned her not to vent her anger in public.
"What Alfred said is true. Everything can be discussed with a cool head and a calm heart. We'd better go back to the office and discuss your problems in our room," Freya suggested.
"I am not going back to the office with you guys, until Alfred admits that he and Mrs. Joanne have a special relationship behind my back, also admits that the child that Mrs. Joanne is carrying is his!" Carla widened her eyes, she looked alternately at Alfred and Carla.
"Oh my! How can you accuse me of having an affair with Mrs. Joanne and say that the child she is carrying is mine! You are outrageous, Carla!" blurted out Alfred, he was so angry that he almost slapped his girlfriend in front of Freya and some of the restaurant visitors.
"You are outrageous, not me!"
They just kept fighting without paying attention to the people around them.
