We both walked into the restaurant. It was a bit crowded.

"Seems the cooks are trying to have this much customers." Nonso said as we headed for the kitchen.

"I did choose the best people." I said.

"Osas ?" I stopped at a table as I heard my name. Turning to the voice I saw a familiar face.

How thrilling 😒

So it must have been Seyi in the car.

"Heyy ... Zena." I said as I feigned a smile.

"Zina. It's Zina." She said. Her smile was still plastered.

"Oh.. sorry." I turned to Nonso who was still waiting for me." I'll meet you inside. "

He nodded and headed for the kitchen.

I sat opposite her.

"I thought I'll find you here." Zina said.

"Yeah... "

"So uhm... It feels somehow saying it but, you promised to be the chef of my wedding and I just wanted to ask if you can be the wedding planner also."

Right. I had told her that just to put her in a good mood not that I meant to be the chef.
"Depends on my schedule. Have the date of the wedding been set ?"

She hesitated. "Yes...August, this year."

I lt my hear sink at that... Weird.

"That's four months from now." I stated.

"Yes... But.."

Always a but.

".. but I was considering if I can have a free sample of your food as I discovered that it wasn't you that cook the food here."

"Uhm... Sure. When the wedding is a bit closer."

"Thanks." She flashed a sincere smile at me.

"Anything for my customers."

She stood. "I'll be going now, the fiance wasn't in a good mood this morning."
I didn't say anything to that.

"I'm sure you must have missed him, he left some minutes before you entered."

I smiled at her. "Probably." Not.

I stood up too. "It's nice having you here Zina."

And I left to the kitchen as she left for outside.

"Who was that ?" Nonso said after the chefs had greeted me.

"In the office." I said to him and we both went for the office. It was quite big. It had and office desk and chairs and also couches, television and fridge.
