Awful timing

Zaria returned the hug with a chuckle at how easy it was for her friend to be pleased. "I didn't do much."

"Don't be too polite! You have no idea how relieved I am." Ximena sat back down, and this time, she could finally find the food appealing before her. "I don't feel confused anymore."

Zaria knew that she must be scolding herself for being dim-witted, so she patted her hand. "It's alright to be confused once in a while. You have a lot going on after all, you will feel mentally exhausted when it's too much. Don't overwork yourself. You are doing great already."

"You think so?" Ximena was a little surprised.

"I know you are." Zaria smiled. For a startup, she had progressed quite fast.

Since that was out of the way, the women finally enjoyed their food in peace. "We should come here again. Jeez, I didn't know that the food here was so delicious. If I knew, I wouldn't keep ignoring this place in the past." Commented Ximena.
