Chapter 93 - 93. Teasing You

"Let's eat." Invite Diego while giving the spoon to Elena.

Previously Diego had brought two spoons and asked for more rice rations. And the employee's menu during the day is omelet, sauteed kale and fried chili sauce.

Elena who was already very hungry started to sip and eat. Diego is the same. They eat in one container together. Things that made some of the other employees who were there look enviously. Especially single employees. Like Fajar.

"Ouch, my eyes hurt seeing you two eat a plate together. My food I ate might come out again, because of seeing your romance."

"Just tell me you're jealous." Snapped Diego straight away.

Which made everyone there laugh. Elena even smiled at Fajar.

"Don't you feel sorry for us, singles. We have to see romantic things like this every day." With a pitiful and sad face, Fajar said that.

"There are a lot of plates in our restaurant, why don't you borrow one?"

"Of course for you to suffer watching us eat like this." Diego brought the fried chicken and eggs towards Elena. Meanwhile, he only eats with the side dish of tempeh.

"Shit." Fajar is annoyed.

"Hahaha ... Singles suffer no end." Teased Diego.

"Damn. When I had a girlfriend, you were the first person I introduced her to." Having said that Fajar turned around and entered the restaurant from the back door. Elena just smiled at the jokes of the two men.

"But darling, what Fajar said is true. Why don't you borrow an extra plate for me?"

"Of course because I prefer to eat a plate alone with you." Diego teased with a wink and poked Elena's chin. Make the woman a little embarrassed.

"Shit, my eyes hurt."

"We have to get back to work for the health of our eyes." Said some of the employees who were still there. They agreed and entered slowly one by one. Leaving Diego and Elena there.

"How was your job at the Shop?" Ask Diego to Elena. 

"Alright."

"No man teases you, right?"

Elena smiled slightly and shook her head.

"How about you, darling?"

"Everything's fine, it's just ..." Diego stopped his words.

"It's just what, darling?"

"It's just that I'm too handsome to make a few restaurant patrons fall in love with me." Said Diego narcissistically as he puffed out his chest.

Elena rolled her eyes in embarrassment and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.

"Yes, praise yourself." Elena said sarcastically which made Diego laugh.

Actually what Diego said was true. There is a girl who keeps coming to the restaurant these days. Diego thought that the girl often came to the restaurant because she liked the food that was served here. But, it's not like that. The girl had always wanted to be served only by Diego. She refused to be served by other waiters.

Even Fajar had teased Diego. Saying that it seemed like the girl was attracted to Diego. But Diego didn't bother. He was sure that the woman would stop coming to this restaurant eventually. Because Diego did not respond to every woman's teasing. Diego did not care, what he knew, that woman was only a customer in this restaurant, nothing more than the manners and ethics of the waiters when dealing with that woman.

After all, from the girl's appearance, it seemed like she was from a rich family. Typical spoiled young lady whose wish must be fulfilled. The type of woman Diego really hated.

Since Diego didn't take the girl's adoring gaze seriously, he had absolutely no intention of telling Elena about it. Besides, that woman is not important.

. . . . .

This morning the Fernandez residence was in an uproar, because the crown prince, Rena's favorite grandson, Dean had a fever.

"How's Dean?" Brian asked anxiously. He's getting ready to go to work. But still worried about Dean's current state. So that he hasn't left yet.

"Mommy has compressed Dean's forehead. And his fever has started to fall." said Rena who was carrying and cradling Dean. With the child-reducing strip stuck to the baby's forehead.

"Thank God when the heat has gone down." Brian's sigh of relief was clear. Elise who was also standing beside him let out a sigh of relief. The tight ties that wrapped around his heart just fell apart. Elise was also anxious and worried this morning to find Dean's body hot and high.

"You go to work." Tell Rena who saw Brian was ready to go to work.

"Yes, Mom. I'm going to work first. If there's anything, hurry up and call me."

"Yes."

"Daddy go first, champ, you get better soon and don't make your Grandma and Mommy worry about you." Brian rubbed Dean's cheek and kissed it before turning around and standing in front of Elise.

"I go first." Brian said briefly and kissed Elise on the forehead for a moment. Then the man just walked away.

"You go take a shower and have breakfast first. Let Mommy take care of Dean."

"Yes, Mom." Elise also walked to the bathroom. Since waking up, Elise's focus is only on Dean. She was worried for the little baby. She is also afraid that Dean's illness will make Rena or Brian angry with her. And Elise also couldn't bear to see Dean experiencing pain.

Rena slowly put Dean in the crib when the baby was asleep. With Dean's fever now down, Rena could breathe easily. She also didn't eat breakfast because of Dean's loud crying who wasn't calm with a hot body.

Several hours later Dean was crying loudly. Previously the baby woke up crying because of hunger and then went back to sleep when he was full. but now it looks like she's crying over something else.

Elise who was always near Dean immediately stood up and lifted Dean to be carried. But when she touched Dean's skin. Elise was surprised. Dean's body was very hot.

Dean who was already in Elise's arms was still crying loudly. Dean's body heat was so high, it seemed like Elise was carrying something that had just been lifted from the stove.
