72. The Dinner

"Hi!" Charlos rose to his feet with a broad smile. "Delia, let me introduce you. This is Rissa."

"So, is this your girlfriend, Charl?" asked Chef Delia while extending her hand to Rissa. Charlos nodded. "Hello, my name is Delia."

"Hello. My name is Rissa," said Rissa, smiling shyly.

"Okay then. Is everything ready?" asked Charlos.

Chef Delia smiled back while nodding. "Yes."

"So, come on!" Charlos pulled Rissa to her feet and then followed Chef Delia to the dining table.

Rissa looked amazed to see the dining table that Chef Delia had prepared it. Charlos picked up a bouquet of roses lying on the table. He had prepared the flowers since this afternoon; then, he handed them to Rissa.

Rissa smiled so sweetly as she stared at the flowers. She looked like she had received a diamond. Come on, thought Charlos. It was just an ordinary bouquet.
