Joseph panicked when he noticed I remained silent. He quickly explained to make sure I didn’t get the wrong idea about Ashton and Rebecca. “You don’t have to explain. I’m totally fine with that. After all, they are friends. It’s normal to eat together.”

Suddenly, my phone rang. It was from Nora who just woke up. “What are you doing?” she asked in a hoarse voice.

“Nothing. I’m just chilling at home. Are you awake?”

“Yeah.” she replied shortly as she stretched lazily on her bed. “I just woke up, but too lazy to get out of bed.”

“Alright, now. Get yourself ready. Joseph brought us a seafood buffet from Sea View. You should come and try it.”

She giggled. “Oh, my! Food is exactly what I need right now. My growling stomach woke me! Give me a minute, I’ll be right there.” She hung up the phone.

Joseph set the table up for us. Then, he walked to the sink with some oranges in his hands. “It’s okay. Let me wash them.” I quickly reached out for the oranges.

“You should go and eat. Mr. Fuller wants me to make sure you finish your meal, and he even ordered me to prepare a glass of orange juice for you.”

I was at a loss for words.

This is ridiculous.

He didn’t even let me step into the kitchen, and I was totally constrained in that situation. So I walked to the dinner table and plated the food.
