Chapter 7: LUNCH TOGETHER
-Love In Paris Restaurant-
-Haruka POV-
At the end, here I am with this crazy boss of mine. I refused a thousand times, but he still managed to drag me out here, and it's not even lunchtime yet. He even booked the VIP dining room without even telling me first.
"Wow, this is the first time we're having lunch together. You've been working with me for two years, and yet this is the first time, lol." This crazy bastard in front of me said it happily. I can't even speak because I'm too angry, and I'm afraid I'm going to punch him here.
Suddenly, the waiters arrive with our meals, which Levi had ordered because I was too angry to care about the food.
"Finally, our foods are here, Mr. Auclair! Let's eat." He said this happily, taking the cutlery and showing that he's ready to dig into everything on the table.
I take a look at the meals on the table. Mussels, escargot, and oysters. What is this? I can't eat this. I look at the side, there are salads, mushroom soup, and garlic bread. Maybe he ordered it as a side dish. Thank God there is still something I can eat. I take the spoon and eat the salad first.
"Mr. Auclair, why do you just eat the salad? I already paid for all of this, so it's okay. Just eat, Mr. Auclair." Levi spoke after a few minutes, and he just smiled. That's not the reason why I'm not eating, you idiot.
"I don't care whether you pay or not. The thing is, I don't eat seafood or snails." I said that without looking at him, and I continued to eat the salad in front of me.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I already asked you before I ordered, but you just stayed silent, so I thought you were okay with that." He said so, and I could sense the disappointment in his voice. Well, then, I guess there are still many things he doesn't know about me.
"Chill, I'm eating, you see. I can just eat the salad and the mushroom soup, no worries." I said it bluntly while taking the garlic bread and eating. I'm too lazy to look at him.
"Tch. I'm the one who asked you to have lunch with me, so I can't allow this to happen. Waiter!" Levi shouted, calling for the waiter to come quickly.
"Yes, Mr. Ackerman?" I could see the waiter was a bit scared.
"Take all of these dishes and bring me the most famous and delicious meat dishes you have here." He said it seriously, and I was shocked. Is this guy crazy? Yeah, I know he is, but he shouldn't do this.
"Mr. Ackerman, you don't have to..." His voice and glare cut me off.
"Just wait for the meal, I won't allow you to leave this restaurant until you eat the proper meals." Now I know he's angry. I'm the one who wasn't listening when he told me about the menu, but I was too angry that time, so that's also his fault. Ugh!
"Well, at least I know something new about you without even asking or forcing you." A faint smile appears on his lips for a while, and his voice softens enough to make my heart skip a beat. Huh, what's wrong with me? I didn't say anything or look at him, but I can say that he is smiling right now.
"OMG, it's Levi!" I could hear someone shouting Levi's name somewhere, and I looked up to see who that voice belonged to. There stood a woman that I really knew. Urk, she's Chloe Boucher, the daughter of President Andrew Boucher. What a pain in the ass! I don't really want to meet her because she's too loud.
"Four eyes, what are you doing here?" Levi shows his irritated face. As far as I know, they have been friends since middle school.
"Oh, I have a lunch meeting here in 15 minutes. Omg, Mr. Auclair is also here! So Levi, are you having a lunch date here or what?" Chloe looks at me and Levi with a mischievous look. This is why I don't like meeting her like this.
"Miss Chloe, we're just having a normal lu…."Again, I was cut off by him.
"Yeah, we're having a date here, so four eyes get lost." Levi glares at Chloe, but at the same time he smirks at me.
"OMG, you guys are so sweet, so what are you guys having? I'm going to order it also. Let me guess, Levi, you're going to have escargot and oysters. What about Mr. Auclair?" She looks at me with her shining eyes. She sure has a lot of energy.
"I'm not eating seafood today, so get lost, four eyes. You're interrupting our date." Levi said, pushing Chloe's face away and making her glasses a bit messy.
"You're so mean, Levi. But Levi, why didn't you eat any of that? When we go out to eat together, you always say, you cannot live without eating those things." With a puzzled expression, Chloe continues to question Levi. I see that Levi Ackerman appears to be a seafood enthusiast.
"Miss Chloe, I'm sorry, but the client has already arrived." Suddenly, her secretary spoke, reminding her about the meeting. Finally. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
"Eh, already? I wanted to talk more. Well then, see you guys again then." She expressed her disappointment. Yeah, finally, she's gone.
A moment later, our meals arrived. There is beefsteak, chicken stew, and roasted duck. They are all my favorites. Without realising it, a smile appears on my lips.
"It looks like you like it." Levi said, looking at me while resting his chin on his palm.
I look down, grabbing the fork and knife, and I just eat without replying or looking at him, and he did the same. We just eat without talking.
-Ackerman Company-
We arrived at the company at 4 p.m. We went to the afternoon meeting right away after lunch. Luckily, I already brought all the important documents.
It was a bit chaotic when we arrived at the company. Is the vice chairman here again? I talked to myself, but then I was shocked when I saw the person in front of me.
"Louis, what are you doing here?" Levi asked right away.
"Yo brother, father asked me to come, and long time no see Haruka senpai." He smiles at me. The person I've been waiting to meet and the reason why I work here.
