If You Met Me First...
Both Dinner

Blair and Blair Advocate Manhattan New York

Thea was preparing to go home when she saw Hugo Melker at the entrance of her office. Thea does have an apartment near her office which she is quite on foot for about ten minutes.

"Mr Melker? What are you doing here?" ask Thea confused.

"Take you to dinner, Thea. Do you like Russian food? Halal of course. I know a friend who owns that restaurant in Queens."

Thea looked at Hugo confusedly. "But ..."

"Thea, you're out of office hours. So there's no problem..."

"But..." Thea is still hesitant because however she has the principle not to get involved with her clients even though lately she has also started to be interested in Hugo. Be professional, Thea. Reject Thea !

Hugo immediately pulled Thea's hand and took her to his car. "Come, accompany me to dinner. I'm hungry!" hugo said as he opened the passenger door of his car and let Thea in.

Thea couldn't turn down her client's request either and she'll have to explain a lot to Nelson tomorrow if she asks.

Hugo walked around his car and sat in the driver's seat. "Wear your seatbelt Thea."

Thea pulls the seatbelt and Hugo stops the car and heads for the highway to Queens.

Thea and Hugo arrive at a Russian restaurant run by Muslims in the Queens area. The girl saw many Russians there especially supported by their conversations. Thea does not understand Russian but she knows how to speak and their faces.

"You why Thea?" asked Hugo who saw the girl slightly retreat.

"I... Kinda ... Less comfortable" Thea replied as is.

"It's okay. You'll be safe with me..." Hugo touched Thea's back and the two entered the restaurant.

The typical Russian Orthodox Muslim Vibe is very pronounced let alone the exotic face and skin of Thea more similar to them, making the reception of the girl.

They sit at the table and Hugo asks Thea what to order. Thea who was looking at the menu, seemed interested in the many delicious menus there.

"Opening I want olivier salad, then pelmeni, then main course I want shashlik and blini cover. Drinking sparkling soda" Thea said made Hugo smile. "What?"

"You've got a lot of messages.." chuckles Hugo.

"The menu made me hungry .. " answered Thea shamefully.

"We ate it both. Because here, the menu can be for two to three."

"I'll follow you... But I want that." This is the first time Thea has been to a Russian restaurant.

Hugo spoke Russian while ordering Thea's requested menus. The girl looked around her and she could tell that even though there was Hugo in the room, they all ignored the man.

Good though.

"Thea, any additions?" ask Hugo.

"No, Mr. Melker."

Hugo said something and the waiter left. "Thea, we're not in the office and working hours."

"Fixed Mr. Melker, I must be professional and I have the principle of will..." Thea bit her lip.

"What is Thea's principle?" Hugo's brown eyes looked at the girl's brown eyes which only took his eyes off the man.

"Ehem... There was a private event with the client" Thea replied in the end.

"Well, this isn't private one hundred percent of Thea but we're starting to discuss Bila while waiting for the results of the FBI's DNA tests. Do you have a paper and a ballpoint pen?"

Thea took the notes and ballpoint pen from inside her briefcase and handed it to Hugo.

"We started from the beginning. I met with Bila five years ago after I had to rehabilitate an explosion in a conflict area that made me first meet with Jovan Malkovich." Hugo wrote the year and initials of JM when he first met and first met Salsabila.

"It can be said so and If it is very sweet, cute and good. Who wouldn't fall in love with him" Hugo replied grudgingly. "And because we both have Serbian ancestry, so we feel a lot of similarities."

Hugo then wrote the date of his marriage to Salsabila. "My marriage was fun and there was almost no conflict let alone the novels I started selling and had a name..."

"Has anything changed in the last six months?" Actually Thea has already memorized Hugo's answer but there are times when you relax and relax, what does not remember Ter recall and can be revealed. This is very useful in people who experience violence and when relaxed, what happened before can be recalled.

"When working. I'm getting busier and he can't keep up with my hectic rhythm of having to travel around America. Sometimes I don't go back to New York a few days or even Sundays. When you feel lonely..."

"And what does this have to do with JM ? I can't investigate further because it was banned by Bang Omar" Thea said.

"That's all we need to know about Thea. Do you think the bartender Larry said knew?" ask Hugo.

"Didn't Omar say everyone there was suspicious?" reply Thea.

The two fell silent as their order came and Thea confirmed Hugo's remarks. Olivier's salad is so much !

"Wow a lot.." murmured Thea.

"Therefore I said we ate both because the menu could be for two to three people" chuckled Hugo while preparing the dishes.

Thea split the salad in half and started eating it. "Hhmmm nice though it's a little too sour on my tongue, but I can eat it."

"I love that you can eat Russian cuisine."

"As long as it's not exotic frogs, snakes or insects and halal, I can still eat" Thea replied.

Hugo smiled. "Olivier's salad The food is made from a mixture of vegetables such as potatoes, pickles, cucumbers, peas, and eggs, which are then combined with sour cream or mayonnaise. Salad in general."

Thea also finished the salad to coincide with the pelmeni. "It's like dumplings..."

Pelmenti

"Similar but different names. It is usually beef, mushrooms, lamb and salmon. The food can be used sauce or sour sauce. Try tasting."

Thea tasted the pelmeni and the girl looked at Hugo with a radiant face. "Enaaakk !"

Hugo smiled at Thea's expression. "Likes?"

"It's so like ! Why did I know there was such good food?" thea's smile.

"Never been to a Russian restaurant in Stockholm?" hugo asked and then made Thea speechless. "What's thea doing?"

"I never told you that I lived in Stockholm before..."

Hugo gawking.
