Suarez Empire Series 2: The Angel with a Pitchfork

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Tumigil ang car ni Caspian sa harap ng isang pamilyar na restaurant. If I'm not mistaken, dito kami kumain nina Mommy when I got back from convent. Dito rin namin nakita si Caspian no'n.

"Is this your favorite restaurant, Caspian?" I asked the moment I got down from my seat.

This time, it was him who opened the car door for me. Hindi na me nakaangal kasi ang bilis niya nakarating sa side ko.

"You can say that." sagot niya saka ni press ang key fob.

Sabay kaming naglakad papasok. The double glass door were being opened by the restaurant staffs.

"Good evening, Sir Caspian and Ma'am." one of them make bati us.

"Oh, they already know you, Caspian? Siguro madalas ka dito kumain."

Hindi siya sumagot hanggang sa i-lead niya ako sa table sa dulo. Marami ang kumakain and all of them look really expensinve. Kung sa bagay, the place itself looks luxurious and elegant. Para bang wealthy people lang ang allowed kumain dito.

Made of premium glass rin ang walls kaya kitang kita ang mga tall buildings outside. Kagaya ng house ni Caspian na yari lahat sa salamin ang wall.

Caspian pulled the chair and made me sit down. I looked at him and smiled nang malawak. Walang expression ang face niya. He didn't smile back pero sanay na me.

"Ang bilis naman ni kuya dumating," sabi ko at ngumiti sa crew na I think ka-age lang namin ni Caspian. "Hi, kuya! I'm Embry."

He smiled at me, all warm and approachable.

"Hello, Miss Embry-"

"What do you want to eat, Embry?"

Napatingin me kay Caspian nang putulin niya si kuya waiter sa pagsasalita. I saw him staring at the menu while eyebrows forced together into a pronounced frown.

"I'll eat anything..." I said and took the menu in front of me. "I'll eat this and this, and this. Oh, I also want this, kuya!"

Lumapit sa akin si kuya waiter after I pointed what I want in the menu. He slouched a bit.

"Ito po, kuya. I want this Fresh Tagliolini with Butter and White Truffles. Tapos gusto ko rin po nitong Wagyu Steak and Golden Opulence Sundae for my dinner naman po. And oh! I also want this one. Mukhang yummy po..." I giggled and looked at him. "Nakuha mo po lahat, kuya?"

He nodded. "Yes, Miss Embry. Is there anything else you like?"

Tiningnan ko si Caspian. Nakasimangot pa rin siya and looked very irritated na. Ngumuso and focused my attention on him.

"Are you okay, Caspian? Bakit parang mad ka? Masiyado ba ako maraming in-order?"

Umayos ako ng upo. Sabagay. Expensive ang mga pagkain here kaya for sure more than twenty thousand ang bill sa order ko pa lang.

"Babawasan ko na lang ang order ko, Caspian-"

"Give her orders. I'll have the usual." sabi niya na ikinatingin ko sa kaniya.

He was giving the menu back to the staff. His facial expression was strict and authoritative.

"Yes, sir." the staff said.

Umalis na ito sa harapan namin. Sinulyapan ko ulit si Caspian at diretso lang itong nakatitig sa harapan while arms folded across his chest. He doesn't seem in the mood to talk.

Why kaya?

Tumayo me mula sa chair ko. Iniusod ko ito paharap at mas malapit sa kaniya. He lifted his gaze and looked at me with a crease on his forehead as if he's confused.
