CHAPTER 6 – Tasty Seasons

"Are you really sure about going with me Clark?"

"Yes I'm sure, did you bring your car?"

"I just went with a cab today since my car was still on the shop"

“Well ok, rides on me”- Clark lead us to the parking lot of the company as well as some of his workers are already there waiting for him. “Good morning Sir”

“Good morning, make sure that tomorrow’s schedule was on time and I want you all to be there before the said time”

“Understood Sir”- Clark then opens the car for me to seat in front. I look at the city and it was still the same. “Which mall?

“Mac’s Mall”- I usually went here since the products and clothes were nice and no to mention, there are a lot of places to stroll by. Clark parks the car at the basement and I just realized that it was already lunch time. “Uh where do you want to eat?

“Hhmm I’m not really fond of eating in the mall because it was too crowded and too loud for me but, I never went here before so I think you should choose to where we eat”- not fond of it? Come to think of it, I felt like a little bit pressured to what he answered. I also think that I never actually knew Clark from the beginning so it was highly difficult to know whatever he likes here since what he said is he was not fond of eating here and I knew nothing the rest of the fancy restaurants in New York. I was keep on thinking which place is quiet and so as the serving was great. I look at Clark and he was seem to be serious in texting someone on his phone.

Which place is the best?

I think I know where it was but I forgot the name

Think Elms, think!

Maybe I should call the girls and asked for it, no no no they might be busy today. I know that we are close here...

Hhmm, yeah I already see it. “Oh we’re here”

“Tasty Seasons?”- he weirdly asked

“This is the only place I knew with fewer crowds and best serving. They also serve dishes around the world. Come on”- I just dragged him inside since I see him keep on observing the whole place with a sceptical look. Geez pressure overload here. “Good day Ma’am and Sir, here’s the menu and I will give you some time to choose”

I look at the menu and I already see my favourite, I glanced at Clark and he was very serious on reading the whole menu. I just bit my lower lip thinking of something to recommend him to eat. I was going to call his attention when he already called the waiter. “I choose Russian Barbeque and add some mash potatoes, lastly is just a soft drink with additional French fries”

“How about you Ma’am?

“Well, Italian Spaghetti and add some meatballs, coffee shake and also fruit salad”

“Ok please wait for 20 minutes, free WIFI is on and here is the password”- the waiter then left with the menu. “Do you usually eat here?

“Not really, but my friends and I went here since those two also preferred some fewer people”- I just took a sip of water since I still felt nervous about the result of Clark eating here with me. “By any chance, what do you usually do every day?

“Well at my office of the centre, as well as on call duty from the business of my parents. Sometimes, I have an overtime at the centre since my clients were looking for me often”

“What’s your job then?”- can I just sigh for a moment? I felt like I was on a private interview with a boss. “I am actually a psychometrician, you know giving psychological tests to my clients as well as interpreting their answers, giving them advices and checking her mental health”- most of my dates usually speak about finding it weird about my job but for me it was a need of the people. “Fascinating, I never dated a girl who works as a psychometrician”- he then showed up his mysterious smirk. “How about you?

“You know I’m an Electrical Engineer right? I become a director of the company of my Dad after he oriented me in all the things in the business world, I also love some sketching of buildings and houses in which we could say that it was a little advantage of me to help him. I got some background in business ad so that is how I got my position there.”- he firmly answered, so that is how he got here that far…that reminds me..

“Uh can I asked..

“Here’s your lunch, Ma’am and Sir”- the waiter along with some other waiters came in to serve our lunch. “Bon appetite!”- they greted and left our table. “What are you going to asked?

“Nevermind, please enjoy”- I think I should ask next time, that was way to far to know him today. Maybe I should ask soon. I see that Clark was busy in eating as well as scanning something through his phone, can’t judge since he was a very busy man.

Right after lunch, I wanted to go solo this time since I was going to buy something. “By the way, I admire the food and the serving. It’s delicious”- that eased me. “I’m glad you like the food and serving there”- I just genuinely smiled since he liked there. “So where are you going now?

“Uh I wanted to buy something”

“Let me come with you”

“No need, I can handle this. You should get back at the company because you know..business matters and as well as preparations or maybe Mr. Armstrong will pay you a visit”- I tried so hard to make excuses right now. He only chuckled by it. “Ok ok I’m going, text me if you are already home, ok?

“Sure sure, see you so other time”- I waved him goodbye as I hurriedly walk further away from him and until I reached the store that I’ll be buying something, I still remembered his chuckling though.
