Then the group of drivers passed the time smoking and chatting.
Suddenly the lounge door opened, and a waiter in a vest came in pushing a dining cart. There were a lot of desserts and drinks like coffee and tea on the dining cart.
After placing all the food on the small coffee table in the middle of the lounge, the waiter smiled and said, “Enjoy, everybody…”
Then the waiter pushed the dining cart and left.
As soon as the waiter left, the drivers dived on the desserts.
“Here, try this. It contains alcohol!”
“Are you kidding? We have to drive later!”
“This is delicious! It’s so delicious. I’ve never tasted anything so delicious before!”
“It seems to be a Raphael City specialty. I saw it on TV before.”
“The Wosh family‘s ball is so grand. They even bought desserts from other cities!”
“Try this coffee. This coffee is good too…”
The drivers enjoyed themselves with the food while Jagoan sat quietly on a couch nearby, waiting for time to pass.
The driver with a face full of stubble saw Jagoan sitting alone and waved to Jagoan, saying, “Come on, kid. Have some food too.”
The beautiful woman’s driver, Old Jones, said immediately, “Why did you invite him? He’s not one of us.”
Jagoan calmly glanced at the desserts on the small table and felt helpless.
“No thanks. You can enjoy them…” Jagoan shook his head and said flatly.
Jagoan pretended not to hear anything. He did not bother arguing with the group of drivers.
