“Benjamin, this octopus is delicious, I bought them this morning. Have a try.”
“Thank you, Miss Alayna.” Nodding his head ‘obediently’, Benjamin reached out his bowl, “I can take it myself.”
Alayna acted shy with much exaggeration.
“Don’t call me Miss, I’m just a few years older than you. Just call me Alayna.”
Kevin was totally appalled at the scene. After a while, he couldn’t take it in anymore and asked with hostility, “Did he really lose his memory? Even if it’s true, why didn’t he get a job and come here for free food?”
“Why do you care?” Alayna rolled her eyes at him, “Talking about coming for free food, I don’t think anyone invites you here today.”
“Alayna, you…”
“Stop,” Alayna raised her hand, “I don’t want to fight with you today, Mr. Jackman. Shut up if you want to remain at this table.”
Kevin was furious and was about to debate when Hayden budged in.
“This is a misunderstanding. Nobody’s here for free food. I invited Benjamin to thank him for helping me with the fake news incident last time. And I invited Kevin because he was with Joseph when I called him.”
This reminded Kevin, that he was picking wedding ring an hour ago. At this moment he was looking at Alayna flirting boldly with another man in front of him. The rage in him grew.
“The chicken wings in the oven should be ready. Let me go take a look,” Benjamin suddenly said.
Then he left with a pure expression as if no clue what was going on in the room.
“I’ll go with you.” Alayna followed suit.
After a few seconds, Kevin smashed his utensils on the table and followed too.
Only Hayden and Joseph were left at the table staring at each other.
“Will it be okay?” Hayden was a bit nervous.
“Who are you worrying about?”
“Of course I’m worrying about Benjamin.” Hayden said in a way as if it was obvious, “Didn’t you see Kevin looks like he wants to devour Benjamin?”
“I don’t think Benjamin will lose if they really start a fight.”
“Is it? Benjamin doesn’t seem like he knows how to fight. He’s still just a kid.”
