"We were just having a conversation," Gale lied through his teeth, looking the kids straight in the eye.
Tommy pointed at the ceiling, then to the floor. "The distance between the first and second floors isn’t that far. We could hear everything clearly. We heard it all."
"It was just a loud conversation," replied Gordan, shooting a glare at Gale.
It was all his fault for provoking him.
Now, his cool image in front of the kids was ruined.
"Alright. If you don't want to embarrass yourselves, then stop arguing all the time." Luke stepped in to mediate. He turned to the kids and asked, "Did you wash your hands?"
"Yes," replied Tommy.
Lanie glanced at Gordan and then at Gale, suddenly posing a deep question. "Daddy, Mr. Gale and Mr. Gordan argue so much. Can they really work together?"
He doubted their ability to cooperate with each other.
Both Gale and Gordan immediately put on serious faces.
"Lanie, you can't doubt my seriousness and professionalism," said Gordan.
"Nor can you doubt my abilities," added Gale.
Although they argued sometimes, they worked well together when it counted. They were nothing like this.
Luke looked at both of them and reassured his son, "Don't worry. They can work together just fine."
"Oh, I was just worried that their arguing would affect their work efficiency." Lanie nodded, not fully understanding what the adults were doing.
However, he knew that constant arguing could not be good.
Gordan cast a blaming glance at Gale, as though he was silently accusing him it was his fault for always picking fights with him.
Gale glared back at him. It was as though it was also all Gordan's fault. If he had not been so picky and sharp-tongued, he would not have argued with him.
"Alright. Let's take our seats." As Luca watched the two of them glaring at each other, she knew that this staring match would not yield any resolution. With a decisive move, she stepped in and deftly diffused the tension. She directed them to their seats.
At this point, Gordan and Gale finally noticed the enticing aroma of the food.
In an instant, their appetites were whet. Their quarrels and glares were forgotten as they quickly moved to the dining area.
After checking where the spicy tacos were placed, Gordan and Gale sat down on that side.
Luca came in and said to the kids, "The non-spicy tacos are on this side. Come sit here."
"Okay, Ms. Luca," replied the three kids as they took their seats.
Luca turned to Rain and asked, "Ms. Rain, which flavor would you like?"
Unlike Gale, who loved spicy food, Rain was open to both options. She glanced at the tacos and hesitated, "I want to try everything..."
"Then sit here." Luca pointed at a spot in the middle.
Rain would be able to try everything if she sat there.
"Thank you, Dr. Craw," said Rain, settling into her seat.
Luca turned to look at Luke and suggested, "Why don't you sit here?"
She was pointing to another spot in the middle.
Luke has a sensitive stomach, a result of not having meals regularly because of work in the past. Therefore, he could not eat too much spicy food, or his stomach would suffer.
