Number One Chef In The Intergalactic Era

Chapter 27

Blake looks at the lunch box in front of him with a complicated expression. It is lunch time now and Blake was about to take a break when his assistant robot comes up to him and says he has a parcel in his name. Blake becomes a little puzzled after hearing it. He starts to think who can send him the parcel. Was it his parents? His brothers? Or his.... sister? He couldn't understand who could have send him a parcel. Untill he sees the green lunch box that he helped his sister to order himself. He was stunned at first before he starts to regret. He heard from Berson that Bella is angry at him for not sending her off and calling her. He was guilty after hearing him. But he couldn't figure out how should he apologize to his sister about the matter. So he kept quiet and started to think of a solution. But now all his thoughts has gone down the drain. He feels even more guilty than before. He doesn't have the courage to touch the lunch box let alone eat it. He feels he doesn't deserve it. He just simply looks at it with a dazed expression.

This is the scene that greets Berson when he enters the President's office. Though the office originally belongs to Blake, since Berson does most of his works, he spends most of his time inside the President's office than Blake. Blake has given him permission to do what he wanted as long as it's related to their works. So, he didn't think twice before entering Blake's office and witness the scene in front of him.

Berson puts his purple lunch box on the table as he sighs. Yesterday night he had a long talk with Blake. He tried to make him(Blake) understand that sulking won't get him anywhere. She is already gone. It would be best if they accept it and hold a pleasant relationship with their sister. If he(Blake) continues to avoid Bella, it would just harm their relationship. Besides, it's not only him who is upset because Bella left them, they are all upset too. But that doesn't mean they would start to avoid her. He tried to reason with Blake that he stops sulking and calls Bella. Berson doesn't know if Blake really listened to him or not, but seeing him looking at the box with such complicated eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. He really doesn't know what should he do with his elder brother.

"You should call and thank her." Berson opens his mouth after observing Blake for a while. Yesterday night he didn't have any excuse to give Blake so that he would call her. Now that she has send them lunch, he thinks that it's a perfect opportunity for Blake to thank and apologies Bella at the same time.

"Did you see? She even took the initiative to cook for you and even send it to you. Granted we all got a parcel from her but still. I think it's a perfect opportunity for you."

Berson again tries to reason with him. He has said all he should as a brother to mend the relationship of his siblings. The rest is up to them. Weather they wants to still sulk or go back how they were before.

"I'll see." Blake says as he lets out a sigh. Only he knows how much guilt and regret he is feeling. Regret for not sending her off, seeing her for the last time and calling her. Guilt for still staying angry at her, even though it's not her fault to leaving with their parents. He wishes he could go to her right now and explain everything to her. But he knows it's not possible. Not because he can't go to her but because of his consciousness. He doesn't think that he has the right to show his face to Bella after behaving so cold to her before. So, he thinks it's better to call her, rather than facing her face-to-face.

Both of the brothers opens the lid of their lunch box after talking. The room immediately fills with the delicious aroma of food, making their stomach growl. Though they shouldn't have feel hunger because they had their nutrition liquid for the day. But it seems like their stomach has a mind of it's own, making them feeling hungry again after seeing such delicious food even though they shouldn't have. But both the brothers throws away any thoughts they have and picks their forks. They can't wait to try their sister's cooking.
