"Fine. Love you, sis."

"Love you more. Goodnight." She said and she ends the call.

          She looked at the other side of the table where she covers Demilade food. He wasn't down yet. She feels like eating with someone. And Deborah whom she usually eats with is not home. She realized she miss the lady.

           She was worried about Demilade. He didn't say anything when they get back aside from telling his bodyguards that he was going to call them. He had locked himself up in his room ever since. And he hadn't eaten anything since they left the house. He doesn't eat breakfast and he didn't want to eat lunch before leaving for the party. He didn't even taste any food that he was served at the party except the whiskey he drank.

           She stands up and went up to his room. She knocked on the door twice. She heard footsteps and he opened the door. He was in a short and white polo, his tablet in hand.

"Lola, what is it?" He asked when he opened the door.

"Your food is ready. You haven't taken anything since morning." She said concerned.

           He shrugged. "I'm not really hungry. But I will take some. Let's go." He said and he walked out of the room and close the door behind him.

           Lola leads the way to the dining room. He placed his tablet on the table and Lola helps in serving his food and drink.

"Water is okay. I have had enough drink today." He told her. She nodded and poured him water. "Thanks." He muttered.

           She sat down and started eating her food after blessing it quietly.

"Why haven't you eaten?" He asked taking a small portion of his beans porridge.

"I was waiting for you. Didn't feel like eating alone." She said.

"Sorry. I had totally forgotten about eating." He said which was the truth.

"Are you okay?" She can't help but ask.

           He paused from eating his food and looked at her. "Yes. I'm fine." And he continued eating his food.

           She didn't know if she is to believe him but she didn't say anything further. And they ate in comfortable silence.

           When they were done, she packed their plates and took them to the kitchen to wash them. She met Demilade still sitting in his position. He seems deep in thought.

"Aren't you going to sleep? Tomorrow is Monday." She said.

"I will." He told her. She nodded and she muttered good night. She knew he want to be left alone. "Lola." He called.

            She stopped and turned around. He was taking his tablet from the table. He walked closer to her.

"Thank you for today. I was glad you came with me." He said. "And sorry I had to use you."

"That is the reason for this....." She gestures between the two of them. "That is why I am here."

"I know. But I want to let you know that I appreciate it. Thank you." He appreciated it sincerely.

           She felt touched. And she nodded.

"You are welcome. But are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine. Angela is my past. It's gone. So I'm good." He patted her shoulder gently. "Thanks for the concern and the dinner."

           Then he turned and walked away.
