Unexpected Dinner Invitation
When they were outside Blanca’s house, Lorenzo immediately asked. “So what do you think? I prove my words, right, Honey?”
Blanca smiled. She played with Lorenzo’s hair while she spoke. “Yes. Thank you, Honey!”
“I didn’t think they would accept you and be so kind now. Thank you, Lorenzo!” Blanca thanked him again.
Her eyes filled with tears as she felt very emotional. Lorenzo immediately gave her a warm hug to comfort her.
Blanca cried in his arms for a while. Lorenzo patted her shoulder to calm her down.
He also said. “Sssh! Stop crying!”
“Don’t cry! I’m always here to be with you.”
Blanca released the hug and wiped away her tears. She also wiped away the traces of her tears. Then they kissed warmly.
“Do you want me to take you home?” Lorenzo invited.
“Yes, if you want.” Blanca replied.
“Of course! Let’s go!” invited Lorenzo to his car, and they walked to it.
But at that moment, Lorenzo’s phone suddenly rang. Lorenzo immediately took his phone.
He found that many phone calls had been made, and he had received many messages. One of them was an ongoing phone call from John. “Hello, John!”
“Hello, Sir Lorenzo! Sir, your mom and your dad want to invite you to have dinner at Sans Restaurant.” John was informed quickly.
“What’s time?” Lorenzo was curious about the time. He was also confused because, as far as he could remember, there had been no appointment with his parents.
“Right now, Sir.” John said.
“Wow! Really?” Lorenzo asked.
“Yes.”
“Oh, my god! I’m not in the office now.” Lorenzo tapped his forehead.
“Did they just ask, or did they just an hour ago?” asked Lorenzo.
“Yeah. Just now.” John answered, because indeed he had just received a message from Lorenzo’s parents.
“A few minutes ago. Around five minutes ago.” John guessed.
“Oh, my god! I’m not in the office,” muttered Lorenzo.
“Do they come to the office?” asked Lorenzo again, because Lorenzo’s parents liked to make unannounced inspections of the office.
“No, they don’t. They just asked for my help via chat.” John’s words put Lorenzo at ease, and Lorenzo could breathe a sigh of relief.
“They said they couldn’t contact you earlier. So, they asked for my help.” That’s exactly what they said.
“Indeed, what’s wrong, Sir, until you’re so difficult to be contacted?” John was curious about Lorenzo’s very important business, so he was surprised that Lorenzo didn’t answer his parents’ calls. Usually, no matter how busy Lorenzo is, he will definitely pick up the phone and call his parents.
“Important business, John. You know that if I don’t have something really important to do, I won’t go out, right?” said Lorenzo, because there’s no way he can say that he was meeting with Blanca’s parents. That’s private.
“Yes, I know it well.”
“Is there anything else, John?” asked Lorenzo.
“No, Sir. Only that.” John replied.
“Okay. I go there now.” Lorenzo replied.
Not long after, the call ended. Lorenzo wanted to talk about what had happened, but he was afraid of upsetting Blanca. Because of that, Lorenzo chose to remain silent.
Meanwhile, Blanca immediately asked. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry, Blanca!” Lorenzo apologized first.
“I have an important matter. My parents asked me to meet them right now at Sans Restaurant. So, I must go to the restaurant, and I want to go there now.” Lorenzo told her what had happened.
“If you go home alone, it’s okay, right?” Lorenzo made sure everything would be fine if Blanca went home alone.
“It’s okay. I can go home by myself,” Blanca said.
“Really?” Lorenzo confirmed it again.
“Yes. It’s okay. No problem.”
“Well, I’ll go to the restaurant now. Goodbye!” said Lorenzo, leaving Blanca to his car.
“Okay. Goodbye!” Blanca said as she booked a car online.
When Lorenzo arrived at his car, he opened the door and got into it. Then he closed the door and put on his seatbelt.
Not long after, he started driving to San’s Restaurant. Just as he left the courtyard, Blanca was already waving at him as he got into the car that had just arrived. “Goodbye, Honey!”
“Goodbye, Honey!”
***
After walking for an hour, Lorenzo saw a tall restaurant building painted in gold and black from a distance. The restaurant seems so luxurious, with a modern style.
There’s a large courtyard for parking cars, with grass on the left and right sides. There are about ten tables, with two to four chairs at each table.
“Sans Restaurant” is written on the sign. Lorenzo immediately parked his car in the parking lot.
Then he unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door. Then, he got out of the car as he closed the door.
He walked into the restaurant as his eyes looked around. He looked for his parents, but he couldn’t find them.
He only saw many tables with two to four chairs filled with diners who were busy eating at the restaurant. Other than that, there were only waiters and cashiers who were busy serving the customers.
From where he stood, he could see in the very front corner a place to pay and order food. In addition, there are curtains to cover the cooking of the food.
Lorenzo immediately thought. “Where are my mom and dad?”
He immediately looked for an opening to go up to the second floor. He guessed that his parents were eating upstairs.
At that moment, his phone rang. He took his phone and saw that there were many messages from his mom.
Lorenzo’s mother: [Lorenzo, are you busy?]
Lorenzo’s mother: [Lorenzo, let’s meet at Sans Restaurant today! What do you think? By the way, where are you?]
Lorenzo’s mother: [Lorenzo, how come you don’t reply to my message? Why don’t you reply to my message?]
Lorenzo’s mother: [Lorenzo, John said you go to Sans Restaurant now. Is that true?]
Lorenzo’s mother: [Lorenzo, where are you now? I and your father are waiting for you!]
Lorenzo immediately replied to his parents’ message. “I’m sorry, Mom and Dad! There was an important business that Lorenzo had to do first.”
“Lorenzo is at Sans Restaurant right now. Where are you, Mom and Dad?”
“In the private room, Lorenzo,” Lorenzo’s mother replied.
“Okay. I go there.” Lorenzo said as he walked to the private room.
He immediately locked his phone and put it in his pocket. At that moment, his phone rang again, because there was a new message from Lorenzo’s mother.
“Lorenzo, have you gone to the private room?” At that time, Lorenzo’s mother just remembered that not everyone can enter the private room easily, even if they are customers.
She didn’t know whether Lorenzo had been to the private room or not. That’s why she sent the message.
If Lorenzo had been in the private room, it would not be a problem. But if Lorenzo had never been to the private room, she would go and meet her downstairs and ask her to go to the private room.
But, unfortunately, Lorenzo chose to ignore her and kept looking for the location of the private room. After a few minutes of searching for the private room, he met the security guard.
“Excuse me, Sir! Would you mind telling me where the private room is?”
The security guard’s eyes bulged with shock because he was so shocked. He also looked Lorenzo over from head to toe.
He wasn’t sure if Lorenzo could eat in the private room because of Lorenzo’s appearance.
Suddenly, he said. “Private room?”
“A private room is only for rich people! How can you eat in a private room?” He asked curtly.
“Indeed, are you rich? I think it’s so impossible if you eat there.” He asked again curtly.
