I looked at Sebastian and this man acted so strangely today. I turned my head and thought what the hell he was thinking right now. Finally, after a few minutes, we are now in front of one of his favorite restaurants. I was going to speak but Sebastian suddenly gets out of the car then he opens the door of the car for me and that makes me anxious. I look at him to say thank you but his blank expression is still the same.
" Good morning Sir Welcome," said the manager who recognized Sebastian at the entrance and greeted us politely, and guided us to the seat. Today Sebastian was going to have lunch with one of the shareholders of the company to hear what the production company was up to. Maybe there was something to record. As soon as I sat down, I opened the briefcase and took out my laptop and iPad. I was ready to handle anything, but suddenly something caught my eye; Sebastian was holding the menu card, then raised his head to look at me. I blinked and looked at him. Was he asking me to choose something on the menu?. So I got the menu card.
I looked at the menu while thinking. I thought about the taste of Ms.Buenaventura, then I remembered that this shareholder was into a stake but this is only what I remembered. But if it's Sebastian's food, I would have done it confidently if they had asked me to choose Sebastian's food. Inevitably, I raised my head."Should I call the shareholder Ms. Buenaventura and ask something he wants besides the steak?"
Sebastian looked at me and said, "What are you talking about?". I replied without hiding my embarrassed expression and said"I don't know what the shareholder would eat besides the steak ... Aren't you asking me to order her something?"
Sebastian looked at me again and said" I'm not asking you to order a portion of food for her, You're going to choose your own food so you can have your lunch today"
"Isn't it necessary to have lunch if you are at work since you have many workers in your charge and you take care of everything, am I right so shut up and just eat your f*****g lunch" Sebastian added
I lowered my head and apologized, "Thank you, Sir, I couldn't think you would take care of my food", but Sebastian was already in an irreversible situation. He was always impatient.
After that, I pointed to the tuna pasta and said"That ... I want tuna pasta." I said, But Sebastian still staring at the menu book, and asked me"What about the appetizers?"I checked the menu again. When I looked, Sebastian's expression seemed to be a little soft. After a while, the waiter came and asked for the menu. I pointed to the page the saucer was on.
"I like this ... The mushroom soup and the main tuna pasta." I said
"Good. What would you like to drink?" he said while still looking at his own menu card."Iced tea" I said."Do you want some lemons too?" he said so I replied "Oh, yes please"
The waiter starts to write our order with a professional smile, took Sebastian's order, and then left. Then Ms. Buenaventura appeared in front of us, with a very seductive look while she was looking at Sebastian.
"Sorry, My car suddenly stopped so I need to take public transportation," she said. First, he apologized to Sebastian, then he greeted me."Hello, Yuri." How are you? Long time no see you."I'm ok Miss thank you, please take a seat first" I said then she smile at me. After that, he leaned in and hugged Sebastian.
"What did you order? I like the steak here," she said to Sebastian but he didn't say anything. His attitude was different than usual, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable.
" We also ordered steak Miss," I said to her since Sebastian didn't answer her.
As soon as I raised my hand, the waiter came over and wrote the order again because Ms. Buenaventura ordered additional champagne then asked Sebastian: "Would a light drink be okay?" but for the second time Sebastian didn't answer him. So what the hell is going on here. Then after that, she asked me"Salmon, Steak, and champagne are the best. Do you also drink Yuri?"
"I'm sorry miss but I'm at work," I said then she laughed and ignored my words lightly. I wasn't the driver so I told her that I would drink because I thought it would be nice to have a drink today since I can handle the alcohol percentage of the champagne. Sebastian didn't stop me so I guess it's ok for him that I would drink.
But after that, I heard Sebastian talking and said: "You shouldn't drink while at work." So I suppressed my desire and politely declined with a formal attitude. "I'm sorry Miss but not today. I will abstain."
After a while, the waiter came over and set the glasses, then served each of the champagne. Ms. Buenaventura smiled and raised her glass. And they only served me an Ice tea.
"Baby," she said to Sebastian while Sebastian drank champagne without saying anything.
"Isn't great"
I smiled at Sebastian's question and nodded. His choice had been excellent. Suddenly I emptied the glass. Actually, I wanted to drink champagne but Sebastian didn't want to give me even a little bit so I endured it, to not miss the conversation, in case they came to ask me for a report later. And if Sebastian got drunk I could drive him home.
"I think I'm losing weight cause Sebastian doesn't need me anymore." The shareholder spoke to me intimately then I replied: "No Miss you become more beautiful" then I smiled at her, then he laughed and put his hand on Sebastian's arm, which makes me anxious. After that, Ms.Buenaventura said to Sebastian" I like Sebastian to tell me I'm pretty."But Sebastian looked at her blankly.
Then Ms.Buenaventura looked at me. The gentle look was uncomfortable for some reason. Also, her hand still remained on Sebastian's arm. Suddenly I felt a different look, it was Sebastian, he was staring at me. Our eyes met for a few seconds. He was looking at me with a frown. It seemed like something was bothering him. Then he quickly removed the shareholder's hand without being rude.
"Let's end our meeting for today and you have another meeting with Baltazar right, " he said to Ms. Beunaventura, she nodded as if she had remembered late then she replied "Oh, yes. Sorry, Mr. de Raizel. Glad to see you after a long time." But Sebastian never responded to her apology.
