After noticing that I was seated, the trio walked over to my table and sat down. Andrea's expression changed when she noticed me but she did not speak. After all, it was a table for four.
Andrea rushed over and sat next to me before Hendrix could. She looked at me sweetly while asking, "Arianna, is it okay if I sit next to you?"
Could I possibly refuse her?
No, I could not!
Therefore, I kept quiet.
"What did you order?" Hendrix asked. He took the menu from the waiter and gazed at me.
I replied, "Some snacks and a bowl of soup."
He nodded and lowered his head to place a few orders. Austin pursued his lips and uttered, "Hendrix, don't order for me. I don't have an appetite."
Hendrix nodded and handed the menu back to the waiter.
The trio began to chat and I could not catch up with any of the topics. Thus, I decided to keep my mouth shut.
Shortly after, the waiter came back with a bowl of soup. It was pumpkin soup. As soon as the waiter placed it on the table, Hendrix pushed the soup to Andrea and urged in a magnetic voice, "I ordered this for you. It'll warm you up."
Andrea was delighted. She chuckled and said, "Hendrix, you know me well. I love pumpkin soup!"
Their behaviors pained me.
Hendrix liked Andrea, so he would pay attention to details about her. He was so gentle and sweet to her but I would never be treated the same.
