The past vs present

Ch-144

Cyrus took Reggie and Esther to the nearest famous seafood restaurant and booked a private room. 

Cyrus took the menu and started ordering the food. He asked neither Reggie nor Esther's opinion about what they wanted to eat. Cyrus just ordered the food as if he knew their preferences. 

"You didn't ask my opinion?!" Esther yelled after the server left. 

"I will order again if you don't like the dishes after they arrive here," Cyrus said. 

"It will be a waste of food!" she said with a hump as she crossed her arms against her chest angrily. 

"It won't be. I will give it to the beggars," he said calmly. 

"Fine!" she said with an 'all-my-eyes-are-on-you' expression, for which Cyrus only smiled at her.
