I never expected Gina to eat so much. But everything that was served for us was enough. I watched as Lore ate casually—slowly—and he ate a lot. He asked for more steak. I ate a little more of the fresh lobster and king crab.
He put more slices of steak on my plate.
"Eat more of that."
I made sure to eat the steak with vegetables. The meal didn't stop there. There was a fine dessert, and Chef Wally introduced a young chef who created the desserts. We tasted the cheesecake first, and it indeed melted in my mouth.
"Wow," I gaped. "It's just like the cheesecake that Laura always brought home."
"She's actually the one who made that recipe," Chef Wally said as the young chef, named Reina, bowed her head.
"We'll be coming here almost every day," I said and looked at Lore. "You'll be paying."
He rolled his eyes.
Chef Wally laughed.
"You don't need—"
"Nope," Lore shook his head. "I will pay, Chef. Or else my boss will fire me for not paying."
