Dinner with Maria

Rudy and Maria were eating dinner together. While Maria was eating and shooting glances at Rudy once in a while, Rudy was busy playing with his new phones.

"..."

However, he was simply texting with Alice as she didn't believe it was truly Rudy and not someone else pretending to be him.

Maria furrowed her brows and thought, 'Can't he at least look at me a little while we are on a date? He is just so rude sometimes…'

"Ahem!" She cleared her throat and said, "You should eat while the food is hot. You won't like it if it gets cold."

"Right."

Rudy texted Alice that he would call her later and placed the phone on the table.

A few minutes later, Maria's phone rang.

COUGH~ COUGH!

She choked on her bite and tried to reach her hand to the glass, but it was empty. Rudy grabbed his glass and helped her drink the water.

"Thank you."

Maria picked up the phone and plastered a fake smile on her face.
