Raquel refrained from speaking more and focused on the mouth watering dish before her, the rice which was cooked to perfection, with each grain separate and fluffy.
The aroma wafted up her nostrils as she basked in the pleasure of filling her stomach, the sweet spicy flavors melded together in her mouth with each spoonful.
She wondered how Alec was able to cook such delicious food, is he a chef? does he work at a restaurant? or did someone else do it? but there was no one else around, she hadn't spotted anyone within the vicinity and she didn't cook the food either. That only means he did it and even so, he did it perfectly.
Alec watched Raquel in amusement, how she looked like she'd murder anyone who took the food away from her now, her cheeks were puffed and her lips pouted in delight as she scooped another spoonful and brought it to her mouth.
She had even carried the plate with her hand like she wasn't patient enough to eat from the table. Alec thought of something and sneaked out his phone to take a click of her funny and childish look, he took two snaps from different angles.
The click captured the heartwarming moment of Raquel's pure delight, as she sat cosily, her face radianting with joy. Her eyes sparkling, and her eyebrows raised in pleasure as munched the tender grains with her lips curve into a satisfied smile.
She held the plate firmly, not risking any chance of letting it slip off her fingers while savouring it.
Alec almost laughed but suddenly remembered something, he almost forgot why he made the 'thoughtful arrangements' for lunch. A wonderful thought had crossed his mind earlier while Fair was taking forever to bath.
The date he was supposed to go on with Gina Ross, the daughter of the Ross family, known for their influence in military power and established business empire, was scheduled at 2pm today. But he had ditched it, and now he is going to put on a good show for them.
Who says you can't ditch a date and have another date?
His father would be so 'happy' to know he left and is with another woman.
"Fair?" He called and she took a while to respond, after swallowing the food in her mouth.
"Y..yes?"
"Now I'm supposed to be on a date with someone, but I ditched it, so you have to make up for it?"
"A gentleman doesn't leave a girl and go off on a date" Raquel frowned slightly and Alec rolled his eyes and gave an unbothered sigh
"Is that why you went over the top just for lunch?"
"Exactly! now I need us to take this as a date and I would take some pictures and videos of the both of us, to upload on my Instagram story" Alec elucidated
"Why? won't you rile the girl you left up?"
"That is my intention, I want to provoke some people" he said with a cold undertone.
