daughter of the prime minister

ch.12

We are greeted once inside by a male server, he asks us our names in which we answer truthfully. He then takes us to an enclosed room with a table and a view of the street. He then hands us a menu and leaves. 

“Nell when we get home I want you to come by the guest meeting room, I want to prove to you that I mean what I say when it comes to orders” he says to break the silence. 

I nod and continue to read the menu. The sweet and sour chicken with rice and fried wontons catch my attention, there's also the option to add some spiciness to it. I make note if it and continue to read, but i'm interrupted by a man knocking on the door and asking to come in. I look at father and he shrugged.

“Who is it” I ask before my father said anything 

“Please pardon me but i'm the manager of the golden leaf restaurant, we have set a date to meet with someone with the same name as you miss we would like to know if you are the same person and if so has the date changed.” he said through the door

“I am the one you are talking about, and no, the date hasn't changed it's still tomorrow” I say 

“I see.. Um I know it's none of my business so forgive for asking but if the date has changed why did you book the private room.” he asks hesitantly 

“Your right it's none of your business but if you must know, I am having a meal with my father, since we haven't seen each other for a long time” I say making sure I sounded like I was offended.

“Then please forgive me for ruining your reunion, I shall take my leave now, please have a good day mam, sir” he said now leaving 

“ your different now” father said looking at me 

“ yeah that kinda happens when you lose your memories” I said reading the menu 

“ no I mean you tricked him into thinking you was offended and we were completely cut off from each other when in fact we were in the same residence” he said caching on 

“ I made sure I sounded like that so he would be more afraid to cross me later and it's true our first meeting was when you yelled at me for the punishment I gave those men. Then our second was later that day when you brought the doctor and our third has just started” I said 

“So you have truly forgotten everything about your life before” he asks but it's more of a realization

“Yea, and from what I im told if I do remember everything i'll be bound to hate you” I said finally finished with reading the menu.

He looks disappointed in himself but I don't care. Soon the waiter comes back asking what we would like. 

“I will take what I usually get” father says handing over the menu 

“I would like the sweet and sour chicken with extra chicken and wontons, umm can you also make it slightly spicy.” I ask 

“Of course my lady, and what drink would you like” he asks 

“Water please” I say and he nods and leaves 

“Why would you hate me, everything i've done to you, you deserved so if your upset about the punishments I gave then you should get over it” he said 

“No I didn't deserve it, but I guess I dont care because it's in the past, and unlike some people I want to decide whether I like you on my terms and with my experiences” I said  with a blank expression 

Silence filled the room, and not a good one. An awkward silence with the feeling someone was watching you. Suddenly the silence is broken when servants come in with the food.
