Chapter 164
The thermal box was stuffed with grilled chicken wings.
Eileen walked over, glanced at the box, then at Egbert. “Where’s Aaron?” she asked.
Egbert didn’t answer, he just opened the box.
Instantly, the aroma filled the office.
Eileen swallowed hard, her mouth practically watering. But she remembered she was a woman of principle. “Don’t think you can tempt me with food. I won’t falter!” she declared.
Five minutes later.
Eileen held a chicken wing, gnawing until every bit of meat was gone, even chewing the bone before tossing the remains into the trash.
Egbert handed her a napkin, helping wipe the grease from her lips. “Take your time,” he said.
Eileen let him wipe her mouth, baring her teeth in protest. “I’m a woman of principle! I’m still mad at you!”
“Uh-huh,” Egbert responded softly, holding a straw-filled cup of juice to her lips. “Freshly squeezed.”
Eileen took a big gulp.
Tart and sweet. Yum!
She ate chicken wings and sipped juice until more than half of the box was gone. Finally, she looked up at Egbert. “Will there be more tomorrow?”
Egbert paused, then smiled. “As long as you want it.”
Eileen was pleased but feigning anger she taunted, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t save any for me?”
“Indeed,” Egbert got up.
He took a dry towel from Eileen’s washbasin, standing behind her, drying her damp hair as he said, “But I couldn’t bear it.”
“Bear what?” Eileen turned to ask.
“I couldn’t bear disappointing you,” Egbert looked into her eyes.
