They Tried

"Damn, that seems like a plot from a K-drama!" Edelweiss exclaimed. "Imagine that: a CEO falling in love with a waitress!"

Eternity laughed nervously, relieved that Edelweiss was taking in this story a lot better than Cynthia did.

Just in time, Evan arrived. He was holding a tray containing three plain-looking hotdog sandwiches and three bottles of water.

"Aw!" Edelweiss cooed. "You even bought us some food! How gentlemanly of you!"

"You're still going to pay me for this," Evan said, serving the food and drinks on the table.

"Tsk!" She clicked her tongue. "You're not so gentlemanly after all!"

Evan scoffed, sitting on his chair. "Whoever said that I was one?"

Just as Edelweiss was about to retort, her phone began ringing again.

"I got to answer this." Edelweiss already looked tired, even without hearing what the call was about. "Excuse me for a bit."

Now, the two were alone and left to their own devices.
