Chapter 24

"Aunty, please do not embarrass me." Cole pleaded for the umpteenth time as they entered the restaurant.

"Oh please." The woman scoffed at him, "When have I ever embarrassed you?"

"We do not want to get started on that."

"Where is she?" The woman asked looking around.

"She's the one behind the counter."

"Oh my." She exclaimed fixing her eyes on Korina, "She's so pretty."

"I know right." Cole smirked, "Please no forward questions, we have only been on one date."

"Oh, Just trust me boy." The old lady said assuring him and he recalled he knew better than to trust her.

Korina stared in utter confusion as Cole walked towards her chatting and smiling with the old lady by his side.

The two quickly reached the counter and she wanted to bolt.

"Hi Korina." Cole said smiling tightly.

"Hey lovely girl." The old lady said, she gave Korina a very warm wide smile and reached out to pinch her cheeks playfully.

What? Korina stared in shock, horrified at the woman's move.
