I reminded her kindly, "She is sitting with her back to us. Hendrix might see me if I stand, but Hendrix doesn't know you, so rest assured you can walk over inconspicuously."
She pursed her lips and paused. "Does that mean that I'm the only one having fun?"
Well, it wasn't convenient for me to participate! I shrugged my shoulders.
She leaned against her seat and said dully, "It's boring to eavesdrop alone. I won't go."
When I saw this, I thought that she had given up, but I didn't expect her to ask me seriously, "How's Hendrix's temper?"
I was stunned and a little confused. "Why do you ask?"
"Don't think too hard about it. Just tell me how his temper is."
"He looks cold, but he's a chivalrous gentleman!"
She suddenly stood up, smiled a little brightly, and walked straight onwards.
I was a little confused. I didn't know what she was going to do. I saw her get a waitress, and said something to her.
The waitress, initially fawning over Hendrix, suddenly became angry, maybe even a little disgusted.
When Naomi finished speaking, the waitress walked away. Naomi gestured in my direction and smiled brightly at me.
About two minutes later, the waitress came out carrying a glass of juice. She walked to Hendrix, slipped her hand, and spilled the juice all onto Hendrix's suit.
Hendrix left for the washroom in a hurry to deal with it, and Naomi waved to me and asked me to move next to her.
I sat down beside her and looked at her curiously. "What did you say to her?"
