The taste of the cheese filled my mouth from the very first bite. “It’s delicious. Won’t you have a bite?”

She shook her head and rubbed her stomach. “I can’t eat anymore. I just had steak with Armond earlier. Besides, cheese is super high in calories. I don’t want to get fat!”

“You’re not fat for your height,” I teased.

Nora pursed her lips. “Of course, you would say that since you’re lighter than me.”

I laughed but did not antagonize her further.

She cast a glance around and realized that Ashton was not present. “Shouldn’t Ashton be back by now?”

 

I nodded. “He has a dinner appointment. He will be back late.”

She grunted. “Looks like the wife of the president has to learn to deal with solitude once in a while.”

 

I felt satiated after consuming a block of cheese. Then, I stood up and poured her some water.

“You had steak today, didn’t you?” I asked, recalling her earlier remark.

Nora nodded as she squinted at me. “What’s up with your arm?”
