Yoel and Jace immediately held onto the handles and put on their seat belts.
“Does your ex-wife always drive like this?”
Leaning near the car window, Yoel was prepared to jump off the car if anything happened.
With a complicated look on his face, Jace replied, “This is my first time too.”
Noticing that both men looked anxious and nervous, Sage pulled into a smirk, turned the steering
wheel to the right, and stepped on the accelerator, making a drift turn.
“Jesus Christ! Sage slow down -”
Yoel shrieked as he was caught off guard, and crashed into Jace next to him.
***
They managed to arrive safely at the Tasteful Restaurant.
Yoel felt his legs go weak when he got out of the car. He concluded that female drivers were too
terrifying and not to be messed with.
Sage, who looked unbothered, threw the car keys to Yoel, and said, “Let’s go!”
Holding onto Jace, Yoel walked into the restaurant with Sage leading in front of them. He then said to
Jace, “Do you have the feeling that Sage turned into a wild and untamed horse right after you guys
have separated?”
Jace glanced at him. “What are you trying to say?”
“Based on my years of experience in taking care of horses, wild horses usually don’t like being tamed
nor do they like being kept on a leash. What I’m trying to tell you is that, why not give
up?”
Yoel pulled into an annoying smile.
Jace did not take his words seriously. He lowered his shoulder slightly, causing Yoel who held him for
support nearly trip over.
Staring at Jace who left, Yoel straightened his back, scratched the tip of his nose, and
smirked, “My competitiveness is to be blamed.”
It was dinner time at that hour and the restaurant was quite crowded. As soon as Yoel and Jace
stepped foot into the restaurant, they both became the center of attention,
“They look gorgeous!”
“Goodness, how could they look so perfect? Did you see their long legs? Are they models?”
Ignoring the attention on them, Yoel placed his arm over Jace’s shoulders. “Let’s lay it down first. We
are here to have dinner so don’t you dare bring up the past and annoy Sage. I will eat you if I don’t get
to eat tonight!”
Jace replied, “Get lost!”
The ladies who were starstruck sat at quite a distance from Jace and Yoel, and they could not hear
their conversation well but the words ‘eat you’ caught their ears. They were immediately heartbroken.
“Indeed, guys this gorgeous ate usually gay. They are a couple!”
“How is it fair for gay guys to look so handsome? I want them to be my boyfriend, I don’t mind either
one!”
–
“Ahhh my heart!”
Jace and Yoel were clueless as to what they did to the ladies and simply followed the manager who
brought them to Room Elegante.
Sage, on the other hand, went straight into the kitchen. She thought of speaking to Myles but to her
surprise, it was Jim in the kitchen.
Frowning, she asked, “Jim? What are you doing here? Didn’t you go back for training?”
DEN
Jim was startled. He did not expect to see Sage here today. Pulling into a smile, he replied,” Sage… I
don’t have any training today and Myles sprained his wrist today. I dropped by since there’s not enough
help in the kitchen.”
Sage only then noticed Myles whose wrist was bandaged. “What happened?”.
“Ahh, it’s nothing. Just an old injury of mine. Some rest would do the trick,” Myles replied.
Sage then informed the manager to close the shop earlier for the next few days and reduce the number
of tables. She then said to Myles, “Come here, let me have a look.”
She then started to help massage Myles’ wrist. Sage suddenly thought of something and said to Jim,
“Jim, you should prepare the dishes for the guests in Room Elegante instead, and let Myles take some
rest. You can see it as a practice too.”
Jim nodded but at the same time, was worried. “Will the guests be alright though?”
“There’s nothing to be worried about.” Sage added, “As long as your food won’t kill them.”
