When the guests were seated at the VIP table.
"What would you like to drink, sir, madam?"
Wimon asked the clients and Wirata prepared to write down.
"The best wine in the restaurant."
The harsh voice answered immediately while staring at the beautiful face of the person who did not look at him at all. She was writing the order in a small pad and refused to make eye contact with him.
Today, Stefan was working with his heart was not at the office as usual. He wanted to be with Wirata. But his father was doing the video conference with him and Melissa and gave him more schedules about Melissa"s training.
When Melissa said she wanted to have Thai food for a change. Stefan immediately thought of Wirata"s mother"s restaurant. And Wirata was here, too. So he wanted to surprise her.
That"s what he thought. He asked James to book a table without telling Wirata. He wanted to see her face when she saw him.
Bit it was not as he expected though. When he got out of the car he wanted to go to her and hugged her and told her how much he missed her. He was going to do just that but she sent him a gaze not to. Stefan thought she would miss him as he missed her. So he was a little disappointed.
The person he missed seemed to be busy with the service. Stefan guessed perhaps the restaurant had rules. Something like while working, the staff must not behave as they knew the customers. They wanted to look professional. Maybe... Stefan tried to a.n.a.lyze her behaviors.
"Do you have any suggestions? "
Melissa looked up and asked the waitresses. One of them, Melissa recognized that she was Stefan"s woman. But it was strange that they acted as if they did not know each other.
Melissa was thinking she had to come to getting used to this. Because as far as Melissa knew, Stefan had a lot of women countlessly. The chances that Melisa would come face to face with those of his women are quite high.
"I Recommend seafood, madam. If you like it. If you don"t too spicy, you can tell the chef."
Wiman answered politely.
"I don"t eat squids."
Melissa said out. Wirata looked up, she saw his sharp blue eyes were staring at her.
Wirata knew that he was watching.
Melissa did not like squids, just like him.
"Pad Thai with fresh king prawns is very delicious. You should try it."
Stefan suggested Melissa and then he ordered his food. The menu that Wirata liked to cook for him at home. She was busy writing down. Stefan kept staring and wondered why she acted so distant and pretended not to see him as though he was not sitting right in front of her. If there was a rule to prohibit him to talk to her, he wanted to know.
The way she was quiet and ignoring him, made Stefan wanted to get up and dragged her home. He waited until Melissa finished her orders. Wirata whispered something to the other waitress and she just walked out.
Stefan"s gaze followed her until she disappeared.
Wirata walked out of the VIP room with relief. She felt pain deep inside her heart to see him with another woman.
They looked nice together. All posh and aristocrat from head to toes. She tried not to think and walked to the kitchen to hand the orders. Then she walked to the staff room in the back of the restaurant. Wirata sat down on the couch and close her eyes.
"Are you ok, honey?"
Her mother came and asked Wirata immediately when she was alone. Wirata turned to sigh before smile lightly and nodded to the mother.
"I am okay, mom."
She said, trying to hide her feelings from her mother. Wirata did not want to make her worried.
Wilaiwan knew that Stefan came from a very wealthy family with his playboy lifestyle and bad reputation about women.
"You can stop, baby. Don"t have to serve anymore. Let others do it. "
Her mother said softly, ready to protect her child as always.
"I am fine, mother ... Just a little surprised. But please don"t worry about me."
Wirata said to her mother. She pulled her to cuddle.
"Stay in here. I will ask somebody else to cover your duty. Please listen to your mother for once."
Her mother said. Wirata then nodded and kissed her mother on her cheek. Her mother hugged her for a moment then left the room.
Wirata sighed out softly.
She was daydreaming too much these few days to forget and believe that a man like Stefan would change just in a short period of time.
This was his lifestyle that she was not familiar with. How could she forget that he was a big businessman. Going out to have meals and socialize with business partners or clients would be one of his schedules.
If it was with a woman, she would feel like this.
Could she handle and bear with it? ... Wirata asked herself.
Her heart ached so much, a lot more than she wanted to. Because Wirata knew that Melissa was a woman his father wanted Stefan to consider as his future wife. Melissa was the one his father wanted to be his daughter-in-law. Wirata was n.o.body and had nothing compared to Melissa.
"Brrrr-Brrrr"
Her phone made a noise when a message came. Wirata picked it up and read it.
"Where are you?"
The message was from the man she was thinking about. Wirata felt upset and did not want to reply.
"Wine? Come out here. Where are you?"
He sent another message. Wirata did not care now. He could not order her all the time.
Didn"t he know that sometimes she needed personal s.p.a.ce as well?
She could not serve him twenty-four hours every day. Wirata let the tears out quietly.
