To You Who Loves Me Dearly
Chapter 4: Thin-Skinned
2:55 p.m., at Plaza's Restaurant
Serene
*looking at my watch*
Serene
*Then looks at the Restaurant's clock, making sure it's the same time*
Serene
Mm, Mr. Henry isn't here yet... *sighs*
Note: Serene is very professional, she's the type to be on time
*sound of the door opening*
Serene
*stands up and greets Mr. Henry*
Serene
Hello, sir. It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. *smile*
Serene
*reaches out my hand*
Henry
No, the pleasure is all mine. *smiles back*
Henry
I'm very sorry if I'm quite late. There's long traffic on the way here, haha *awkward laughing, scratches the back of my head*
Serene
No, no, its fine sir.
Both of them sat face to each other
Serene
How about we order some food first, sir?
Serene
*hands him the other menu, while holding another one*
Henry
Ah, yes. Thank you.
*takes it*
The waiter came to take their order
After settling with their order, they began talking about business matters...
Henry
I'm sorry, the designer isn't here yet, maybe got stuck on traffic... *feeling awkward and slightly embarrassed, but trying to hide it*
Serene
*sees right through it*
No, it's fine. We can just wait for him/her
Henry
Thank you for understanding.
Meanwhile, that very same designer who's "got stuck on traffic"
Allena
Wahhh.... I'm so damn late!! *looks at my watch...3:30 p.m.*
Allia
Sorry ma'am, there's still traffic up ahead.
Allia
Should we take a detour?
Allia
It'll take 10 minutes more if we do...
Allena
Yes, yes! Just do whatever, so we can get there as soon as possible!
Allena
Huhu, This is all my fault!! I should have read your email as soon as you forwarded it.
Allia
No, no, calm down, boss. It's not your fault you're sick and needs to rest....
Allia
Besides, I already told Mr. Henry that you're sick and might get stuck on traffic. *gives her a thumbs up with right hand, before going back to focus on driving*
Allia
You should maybe take a nap, boss. There's still around 20 minutes till we get there.
Allena
*touches my burning forehead*
Allena
Yeah, you're right...Please wake me up when we're almost there.
Allia
Don't worry too much, I'm sure they'll understand!
Allena
Yeah...Hope so... *sighs*
Henry
(She's taking way too long... *internal screaming* This is so awkward, someone please take me away...!!!)
Henry
*trying to keep a straight smile but the silence is just too loud*
Serene
( Seems like He is thin-skinned.)
Notes: Thin skinned- It's like easy to be embarrassed, while Thick-skinned is the opposite
Henry
(I need to excuse myself or I'll blush from embarrassment)
Henry
Ehem... I'll have to excuse myself, sorry.
Henry
*hurriedly walks to the men's restroom...*
Serene
(Really thin-skinned, unlike...someone else)
Author: Ooh~ I wonder who she's talking about, Sean or Allena~~
