Unable to get anything from him for a moment, I could only give up.
Things had gotten busy recently because of our partnership with Hyperspace. I ended up forgetting about Theo’s matter for a moment.
I happened to have some errands to run at the shopping mall today and had just finished my work when I ran into Delia.
She was shopping alone. I went over and said hello.
"Why are you here by yourself?"
Delia heard a voice and turned around. Realizing that it was me, she was a little surprised. "Wanda, why are you here? Don’t you need to be at the company?"
"I had some things to deal with. Why are you alone?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Delia's face before she went back to normal.
"I wanted to go shopping all of a sudden, so I came here."
I did not think much of it. I checked the time, and it was almost noon.
"I hadn’t had lunch yet. Let me treat you."
Delia did not refuse.
I took her arm naturally. Delia's body went a little stiff, but I did not take it seriously. "Have you gained weight recently?" I looked at her face, and it seemed rounder than before. Her figure was also fuller.
Delia paused unexpectedly and smiled awkwardly. "My meals have been better recently, so I did indeed gain a little weight."
As soon as we were seated, the waiter came over with the menu.
I handed her the menu. “Take a look at what you want to eat."
She pushed back the menu a little distantly, however. "You can go through it. There’s nothing in particular that I want to eat."
I thought she was behaving a little weirdly, but I could not tell what was off about her.
"Alright then." I ordered a few dishes, most of which were her favorites.
I chatted with her intermittently while we waited for our food. The atmosphere was not bad.
