2 Met a Sloppy Girl

06 : 00 PM

Chiltern Firehouse, London.

To coincide with the change of day to night, all of Leo's work was done. So he didn't have to bother coming home too late, but still, he was a few hours late from his supposed job. So, here comes one of the very famous places to eat.

Chiltern Firehouse is a unique and famous restaurant in London. This restaurant has an open kitchen concept. Visitors can see the chefs cooking in the kitchen and preparing menu orders. Also, the Chiltern Firehouse has a luxurious interior design. Sturdy pillars that stand around you, coupled with classic tables and chairs, become an icon of luxury in this restaurant. The special menu is donuts filled with crab meat and smoked food.

The comfort of the place is one of the most important things for Leonardo Luis. He sat alone, with no friends at all. Not wanting to sit right in the open kitchen chair that was presented, he finally sat on one of the benches which were intended for a maximum of two people.

Ordered a portion of old beef fillet with caramelized mushrooms and grilled onions, devilled tuna (spicy tuna tartare), with a request for a drink of choice, namely red wine which was enough to accompany him to close the day.

The pleasure of chewing every inch of it is not in doubt. Everyone also knows how special a classy food is that can shake the tongue when it touches the sense of taste.

He didn't even bother to contact Azrell, because he didn't matter. Whether he wanted to go home or not, he never gave any news. On the other hand, it was Azrell who excitedly sent various long SMS to wrong calls to his cell phone.

As it is now, the flat object designed as a modern means of communication vibrates on the table with the screen displaying the girl's name.

His eating program doesn't want to be disturbed just because of the news, so yes, he prefers to eat quietly without being disturbed from any angle.

"Ah, sorry, you must have been waiting for my arrival, huh? I just finished washing the dishes."

When he finished sipping the red wine, Leo turned his gaze to the chair opposite him. He saw a woman who looked beautiful without a wash of make-up at all, even the jewelry that women used to wear was not there.

He was still watching the gesture of the woman in front of him, busy confirming the location of the sling bag which turned out to be a broken link.

"Want me to help?"

Meanwhile, the woman who heard the baritone voice coming out of Leo's mouth immediately lifted her gaze from her lowered head, her eyes were also wide open, a sign that she couldn't believe what she was seeing at this moment. "Mr. Leo?" she said in a very nervous tone, adjusting her sitting position to be more graceful.

Leo nodded his head, confirming the woman's greeting, which was more of a question. One thing he knew from this person before he was simplicity. "Yes, it is me," he said with a small chuckle when he saw the funny face that was his response.

"S-sorry sir, I-I ..." said the woman who didn't know what to say. She was speechless, slightly grimacing her stupidity. "Jeez, Felia, you're sloppy," she muttered in a tone lower than before. She banged her head a little, how could she be the wrong person?

Leo raised an eyebrow, then exhaled slowly. His hand reached out to pick up the bottle of red wine that was on the table, then poured the alcohol into the clean glass that had become part of the table prepared for the servants here. "You look thirsty and a little nervous, better have a drink first," he said, holding out the glass to the woman who said her name as Felia.

Seeing Leo who was holding out a glass of alcoholic drink, Felia immediately took it. Made the boy in front of her now smile as he put the bottle of red wine back on his desk. "Sorry sir, but I don't drink alcohol,"

Seeing Felia who put back the glass she had received made Leo nod in understanding. Raised his gaze, then snapped his fingers in the air when he saw a maid who was stealing glances at him.

As for Felia? The woman now felt that she wanted to just disappear from the face of the earth and fly to another planet because she was so embarrassed.

"Yes, sir. How can I help you?" asked the waitress in a voice that must have been contrived. The clothes that fit so hot maid might be able to describe her current appearance, even the curious gaze towards Felia continues to plaster on her face.

Leo cleared his throat, disturbing the atmosphere. "First, don't you dare look down on other women or I can call the manager to fire you right now," he said in a calm tone, even his gaze was shady. However, whoever heard the words that left his mouth just now sounded sharp.

"Sorry, Sir."

"Second, please order some fresh juice for the woman in front of me. If something goes wrong, I'm sure no more workplace will accept you."

"Yes sir, sorry for my mistake."

Leo nodded, then smiled. "You are beautiful without having to look down on other women," he said. After reprimanding her, he would pass a soothing punishment so that there would be no awkwardness between them.

The waiter blushed, then quickly excused himself by going and putting Leo's order aside.

As for Felia? The woman now looked at the man in front of her in amazement. There was no anger, but he still managed to seduce her.

"Don't go yet, wait for your drink to come," Leo said. He already said he doesn't want to be disturbed while eating, right? But if someone suddenly appeared in front of him like this, wouldn't it be possible to expel him for reasons of inconvenience?

"But sir, I have an appointment with someone else."

"And where is that person? Why is it wrong for your ass to land on the chair across from me?"

Leo went back to enjoying the dish served to himself, then looked at Felia.

"Ah, that-- my boss told you to come here," Felia answered, turning her gaze to every corner of this magnificent room. She looked at the guests one by one, but no other man introduced a tuxedo like a boss except for Leo here.

"And didn't find him, did he?"

"No, Mr. Leo. Ah, sorry, I didn't know it was you."

"What's more disturbing isn't your presence, but your constant regret."

Leo shifted his gaze from Felia to the serving plate, still with the menu that had aroused her appetite. If you eat yourself like this, it's not good. "Do you want to eat?" he asked who had lifted his head back to see Felia's confused face.

Gasping for breath, then shook her head. "Ah no sir, I'm not hungry. After all, the price is too expensive for a girl like me who is not at all equal to someone like you, sir. Even my monthly salary is not necessarily enough to pay for a portion of the food here if it is there. days later I only eat wind and gravel. "

An explanation that was too long came out of Felia's mouth, of course, Leo who heard it felt choked. For some reason, when Felia seems to be living in deprivation, it is the opposite of Azrell's life.

"Then it's easy, I'll pay."

"Sir, better not have. We only met a few minutes ago, what if I turned out to be a robber?"

Leo, who heard Felia's ridiculous remark, just chuckled. "In that case, I am willing if you rob all of the valuables I carry," he said in a voice that was too calm, even the sip of red wine that had now greeted the walls of his throat was proof that he was not kidding.

"God is absurd,"

"The one making it up is you, how can the robber mistake the boss?"

Cursing fate, maybe Felia was quite reckless on an acute level.

Drtt ...

Drtt ...

(phone vibration)

"Sorry sir, it looks like I have to answer this call."

Leo just nodded his head, coincided with a waitress who put a glass of fresh strawberry juice in front of Felia. "Thank you," he said, prompting the male servant to resign immediately.

"Ah yes, sir, I've arrived."

"What? Aish ... alright."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ah well, sorry. Have a good rest,"

Realizing that Felia's conversation seemed to tire her face out, Leo ended his heavy meal and switched to eating devilled egg tuna. "I guess someone you wanted to meet didn't come, right?"

Felia widened her eyes as her hand managed to put the cellphone in her hand back into the sling bag. "Eh? Yes, sir. He said that suddenly he had business with another colleague,"

"Then why not tell yourself? As far as I know, some colleagues meet with a certain schedule that was promised beforehand."

"Sir, don't be a psychic."

"You're wrong, my profession is a presdir."

"Yes, very rich presdir."

"Then, accompany me to eat because your talkative mouth can fill my time."

"I told you, sir. I have no money, I'll show you my wallet here."

Leo chuckled at Felia's behavior, then shook his head. "If you refuse, then I'll take you home later. How?"

Hearing the tone of command that approached a threat made Felia relented. Yes, if you don't give up, you will probably share a car with the hippest man in London.

The thought of sharing a car with Leo ... Ah no! Of course, their castes are very different. Like himself acting as the land, and that person loves the sky.

"Ok, I agree."

Leo smiled with satisfaction. After all, he was just eating casually alone in this luxurious place. And yes, surely the next day he would never see this woman again. Chances of meeting you are only 10% out of 100%. So, this is just the first and last meeting. Nothing to worry about, right?

"Give me your broken sling bag, I'll fix it."
