Hiro could vividly feel her genuine intentions. Again, he could ignore her wish and continue with his task. But it'd probably leave her disappointed. And, he didn't want that. So, he nodded his head as he appreciated her dedication, "I understand. Maybe later?"
Upon hearing his words, her face lightened. "That'd be amazing," she exclaimed cheerfully.
"Do you have a reservation here? Or would you like me to find you a perfect place for you?" The staff girl asked.
"I've got a reservation," he said as he showed her the reservation that Eric had sent to him.
Then she led him to his place. He took his seat and ordered a cup of coffee. He was more of a tea person than a coffee person. Nonetheless, he enjoyed it both.
As the minutes passed, he couldn't help but notice the staff girl glancing his way occasionally. The excitement on her face was still palpable. But he ignored her presence as he continued to wait for Ayumi's arrival.
