Eileen frowned and said, "Jayla will come with us?"
Ruben nodded, "Yes."
Eileen said, "OK, but it's my treat today."
Hearing that, Ruben teased her, "Although I usually won't let women treat me, it seems that I may not be able to have dinner with you if I disagree."
Ruben was humorous. They looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere was congenial.
Eileen smiled.
Jayla was nice to her. Now that Jayla wanted to eat spaghetti, Eileen was willing t o go with them.
When it was time for them to get off work, Ruben went to drive his car.
Eileen and Jayla got in the car. Eileen told Ruben the address.
The small restaurant was inside an alley. It took them a long time to find it.
Ruben was hovering outside the restaurant.
Eileen turned around and said, "If you don't like it, we can go to another restaurant. I choose the one that I like but forget to consider the preference of Jayla and you."
The restaurant looked dirty from the outside. Ruben had a good family background and usually went to high-end restaurants. It was normal that he was unused to it.
Jayla spread her hands and said, "It's OK."
Ruben said, "Me too."
He waved his hand and walked in.
The small restaurant was more like a diner. Although it looked greasy from the outside, it was clean inside.
Eileen often came here. There were many flavors of spaghetti. She chose the flavor she liked.
The owner came to ask them, "Would you like a large-sized or small-sized one?"
Eileen asked Ruben first.
He said that he would like a small-sized one.
