A sweet girl came in with smile plastered on her pretty face.

"Hi, Áyi..!" She greeted the mid-age woman standing behind the cashier machine.

"Hi, my dear..." The mid-age woman looked up and smiled to the girl. "As usual?" She asked.

"Yes, please? At usual table, Áyi..." replied the girl. Then she led herself walked to a certain table, after she paid her order.

"Sean...! Lulu as usual at usual table...!" The mid-age woman yelled to one of her workers.

"Serve right away!" A man replied.
While Lulu, that said girl, was pulling out a chair from the table when a white hand also did the same thing right next to her. She looked up to see the hand's owner. Suddenly her eyes were spark with shock and excitement, which made a red tint crept up her cheecks.

The hand's owner was an angelic handsome man with a cold aura shots from a fair of his dark brown eyes. They stared into each other eyes for quite a while. While the handsome man looked at her coldly and expressionlessly, Lulu looked at him with a wide eyes and mouth slightly opened.

"Oh?! CEO Wang! Y-You can have this table. I'll get my-myself another table..." She spoke with a nervous laughter and pushed the chair back.
"Thank you," replied the handsome man, shortly. Then he sat and started to read a newspaper he brought a long into the cafe.

Lulu moved to another table across his table. This table had two seats as well as his.

"Ugh... Instead of offering me to sit with him, he lets me to find another table. This new CEO is so cold. Am I not pretty enough to get his attention? So boring...!" She mumbled on her seat.Then she started flipping her mobile's screen.

The usual table which choosen by Lulu was a bit hiden in the corner, side by side with the large window to view the activities in the street.

The handsome man, known as the new CEO in Lulu's company was still reading the newspaper, when a waiter came and placed the orders on his table, without checking the customer.

" A usual lunch at usual table for a usual customer. Oh! I mean, special geee.... Eh?" Sean, the waiter was shock when he realized it wasn't the certain customer. His eyes gone wide.
The man on the table looked at the food served on the table. There were chocolate milkshake, two egg tarts and a bowl of beef braised noodle.
In the same time, Sean looked at the angel in front of him, admiring him from every angle. He soooo good looking. I wonder why God created a human as angelic as this guy, Sean thought.

"I don't take beef," said the CEO, brought Sean back to reality

"Oh... Ah... It's not for you. Sorry. I'm very sorry. Wrong table," Sean apologized.

"She's over there," the CEO pointed his index finger to a table where Lulu was.

"Ooh... Okay. Thank you. I'm sorry for the inconvenient,"

"Mn," the CEO replied just like that.
Then Sean retrieved the food back into the serving tray and moved to Lulu's table.

"Ah! Finally! I'm starving already...!" Lulu chirped delightfully when she saw her order arrived.

"Why didn't you tell me you've changed your table?" Sean retorted.

"What can I do, Sean ge.? The table is already taken. I can't shoo the person away, right?" Lulu pouting and started to dig her food.

Sean only rolled his eyes, and walked away.

"Eh eh! Sean ge! Don't forget to fetch Ah-Lian! Today she takes half day class, right? Lulu shouted,made the CEO turned his gaze toward her then to Sean who puzzled for a while, then ripped his apron and ran outside where he shouted, " Áyi! I'll be back soon!"
