Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 124 - Pay with what?
...***...
Leon stops his car engine in front of a popular restaurant. Elvina knew the restaurant, she even had time to try eating there with Rei and William, unfortunately never materialized because Rei had lost.
"We eat here." Leon steps out of the car followed by Elvina.
Elvina was silent for a moment observing the place. Looking very crowded, even from the window alone, Elvina could see that the place was full of visitors who came to enjoy their lunch time.
"Let's go in, aren't you hungry?" Leon glanced at Elvina who was just silent without a word.
"Sir, should we go somewhere else? Here it seems full, just look at the place is very crowded." Elvina pointed towards the window.
"No need to worry about not getting to a seat. I know the owner anyway." Leon drew Elvina's hand, leading her without permission.
They stepped in there. Once inside, Elvina looked at the place so crowded visited by customers, even crowded most of the tables available there.
"That's right here." Leon pulled Elvina's hand through several tables that were lined up on their right. The two of them stepped up the stairs until they arrived at the second floor. Upstairs too, Elvina saw a lot of customers. But not completely downstairs because of the limited table.
"There really was no table.." He had not yet finished his sentence, Leon had already pulled his hand again in another direction. Lead Elvina to another room that looks quieter. Until finally they arrived at the third floor where VIP rooms were available.
They walked down the corridor. Elvina just stood still and continued to step while her hand pulled Leon from earlier.
She was really stubborn to eat here, thought Elvina.
Leon glanced at him, confused. "I can walk alone, you don't have to pull my hand like that" he said.
"I pulled your hand because you didn't want to walk alone, and you walked so slowly."
"L... slow?" Elvina repeated her sentence.
"Here you go, let's go inside." Leon stepped back his legs, followed by Elvina behind him. They entered one of the special rooms. There, Leon met one of the servants who then drove them to a table near the window.
They both sat at one of the tables there. Elvina was silent looking at the table around her. Somehow Elvina felt that the table they occupied had been booked before, let alone there were no other visitors at the table close to where they were sitting.
Leon was busy talking to the waiter who delivered them. Not long after the maid left, she turned to focus on Elvina who was sitting opposite her.
"What do you want to order?" Leon thrust out a menu book in his hand.
"Um. I am not comfortable if I have to sit like this with my father, I better eat downstairs. Can, right?" Elvina almost woke up, but Leon quickly held her back.
"You want to eat by yourself? Then how do you pay?" rhetorical question.
Elvina jerks. He realized that the bag containing his wallet was left behind.
