Chapter 21: Presents

It’s starting to get warm in my direction brought by the sun’s rays when Runi arrived with some boxes. Even from afar, she is oozing with enthusiasm. I wonder if she’s been talking to Deputy Shan again. I smiled at that thought.

She sat across me. “Young Lady, how was your breakfast? I told the chef that you only eat eggs benedicts in the morning. I hope you like his cooking?”

I reply, “Thank you for always keeping my favorites in mind, Runi. I did like the egg this morning. What’s inside the box and the container?” I pointed at the two things she carried.

She frowned a little, remembering how much I cried last night. “The General asked me to give this to you.”

And just like that, I forget how good the novel that I was reading. Talking about the General is not my favorite subject since last night.

“Please return it to him. I don’t think I will need anything from him,” I said.
