Chapter 280 The Right At The Wrong Time

   Ben helplessly dropped his hand after he had persuaded Jeff to eat yet he kept refusing.

   "Jeff, why don't you want to eat your food? We are running out of time"

   He sighed and bit his lips in frustration.

  "I want you to feed me"

He said grumpily.

  "Alright, I would feed you but you have got to eat fast. We have wasted a lot of time here and getting to your family is what we don't know how, so we need all the time in the world."

   Ben was fed up so he returned to eating his meal while I fed Jeff who happily mulched his chips. He seems to like the chips, he should because kids like sweet things.

   Feeding Jeff did not give me time to eat mine but I was not complaining but Ben's look says otherwise because he continuously eyed my meal. 

   "Don't worry about me Ben,I can always take a take home, feeding Jeff is the ultimate. We need to get him ready and find his family before night falls."

   I said and Ben nodded his head. I didn't even know how I got here, doing the right thing at the wrong time.

   I was supposed to be through with my spa treatment by now and having a movie date with Ben was the next thing but because of Jeff, plans fell into place but not in order. 

   And for going to the spa,I don't think it is possible because time is no longer on our side and Jeff here is a huge responsibility. I hope we find his family before the end of the day. If not, we will take him to the police.

   Jeff smiled at me and pulled my own plate towards him,I looked at him questionably.

  "I want to taste yours please?"

He said and I nod, I fed him about two pieces of chips from mine and I was about feeding him again but he pushed it towards me and gestured for me to eat.

  "I can feed myself now, your meal is getting cold so please eat now"

He said and faced his own plate then began eating by himself. Ben shook his head and smiled at me.

   "He is considerate, I like him."

He said and pulled my plates towards him and. Picked a chip and asked me to open my mouth which I did.

   I did not understand why Jeff would taste my feed. Then he asked me to start eating it when he was bent on I feeding him. I am beginning to think he behaves weird.

  Writer's point of view….

By the corner of the restaurant sat a lady who has been observing the couple since they came into the restaurant. Many plans had formed in her head and she had smartly executed it waiting for accurate results. She was no other person than the first waitress. 

   She doesn't care about the little boy or what he represents but she knows that he would not stop her from carrying out her plans. 

   She might not have served them their meal but she has got someone who did and the ingrates as she called the couple will pay for dismissing her like they did.

   People should learn to be kind to others and what she can't take is someone looking down on her.

   She smiled and watched them eat their meal happily with the guy occasionally feeling his wife and his son. She knows she will receive news that will gladden her heart soon.

   She beckoned on the waitress that served Ben and Nora their meals to come closer. The lady came and bowed to her.

   "I hope you put everything by the exact quantity the way I asked you to do it"

She asked and the lady bowed.

   "Good let's watch and see how the drama will unfold, foolish humans"

The first waitress said and the second looked at the couple eating, her eyes lingered on Jeff and she stared hard. Jeff knew there was an eye on him and smiled.

  "I feel there is something about that little boy"

The second lady said, still observing Jeff.

   I don't think so, he is just a little boy who is so pampered that he can't respect his elders. I blame the mother for his home training, he lacks one and by the time we are done dealing with them, if they have a next life, they will surely not be rude again.

  They watched as Ben and Nora finished up their meal and dropped their bill on the table.

  Two ladies stood by the side to see the drama unfold but nothing happened,it was like nothing was added to the meal they served the couple because by now the effect should have taken place. The both stared at each other with questions written all over their faces with no answer to it. 

   The couple stood up and left the restaurant with Jeff skipping happily behind them and before they exited the entrance, he looked back and smirked at the ladies.

   "Bitches"

He muttered.
