I cleared my throat."Come on…I was just excited to see you…it's been days since I last saw my sweet cousin" She smiled and I rolled my eyes walking ahead of her."Hey!, wait up!" she ran after me.While we were walking down the hallway."Right, Amelia!!" she yelled."Jesus Christ Sofiya!...

Anyways, it was nice having dinner with Mr. Leonard tonight" My Mom said with a smile."I'll see Mr. Leonard out" My Dad suggested"No, never mind…I'll take my leave now." I looked up at Leonard as he waved my parents goodbye. He didn't even spare me a glance anymore. Was I too harsh at him back in the bathroom? Whatever, it's not like I care. He's a grown-up man anyway.After Leonard left, we also proceeded to leave that moment."Do you think the CEO enjoyed tonight's treat?"

✿ CHAPTER 17 ✿"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, your table is right this way" A female waitress walked up to us as she said with a smile.My parents nodded as we followed behind her.This restaurant looked like a very classy one, mainly for celebrities I guess. The bright lights were too much as it hurt my eyes, I tried looking away from the light as I gazed down at the floor. While walking my mom suddenly turned to face me as she whispered."Are you ok?" I was startled, Did My Mom just ask me if I was ok?"Uhm, yeah, I'm good" I looked at her, and she nodded as she looked away and continued walking behind My Dad. I sighedThe CEO was nowhere to be seen when we arrived at our table, wasn't the CEO supposed to be here before us?"Take a seat Amelia" My dad pulled out a seat for me and My Mom, the round table had two seats each, opposite each other.
