Chapter 6: How Can I Comfort You?

The food looked expensive. The arrangement and the fragrant aroma seemed to mock my poverty, reminding me that even if I worked day and night, I'd never afford such luxuries.

"I'll eat and go," I said before taking some carbonara, my favorite. "Thank you for the food," I added before digging in.

The taste did not disappoint, just as I expected. I'll make the most of this meal because it might be the first and last time I get to eat something like this.

I was content with every bite and swallow of the food I tasted here. Even though I wasn't showing any emotions, deep down, I was happy to experience something like this-To feel like I belonged to the kind of world I tried so hard to fit into. But he shattered that fantasy when he spoke.

"I'm done," I said in a low tone as I wiped my mouth with my white handkerchief. "I'll go now."

I pushed my chair back, stood up, and slung my bag over my shoulder. Ash remained with his arms crossed over his chest, watching my every move as if I were a princess he needed to guard.

"They say food is the best comfort when you're sad," Ash suddenly spoke.

I looked up at him, raising my right eyebrow. "Pardon?"
