I paid you already, so don’t complain,” He pulled out a chair and sat in front of her. “Whatever!” She huffed. th “So, I need your help with– “I don’t understand. Are we going to discuss without ordering anything? I mean, why are we in a restaurant if we are not going to order anything?” She cuts him off, and he scoffed. “If you want to eat something, you can go ahead and order it from the money I paid to your account. How about that?” He leaned forward and smirked at her don’t think you are ready for this meeting. If I walk out through that door, you are going to have to pay me to come inside again, and I won’t give you a discount this time. So, are you going to order something for me to eat or not?” The corner of her lips twitched into a smirk as she looked at him. “You are so…” He paused and glared hard at her. “Waiter!” He finally called the waiter’s attention, and a young man in his late twenties came walking up to them with a smile on his face and of course, a menu book in his hand. “You’re welcome, Sir.

Just get me a glass of milkshake, and a bottle of water for him,” She handed the waiter the menu book, “Alright, Ms. I’ll get to it,” “So, can we talk now?” Xander knocked on the glass table to get her attention after the waiter left, and she looked at him. “Why are you in such a hurry?

So, what about her?” “Well You asked if I still loved her.” “know you still do. So, what do you need help with?” She cuts him off as she dropped the glass on the table. Furthermore, she picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth with it.
“What do you think I can do to get her back? I really want her back, but I don’t know where or how to start,” “Did you change your mind? You said she cheated on you,” She uttered sarcastically, and he ran his fingers through his hair frustratingly “Lisa. It’s really complicated. I wish I can tell you everything, but trust me, it’s really complicated,” How was he going to tell her that it was all their Mom’s fault” “Fine! I will help you, not because I’m being sympathetic towards ds you, but because of my friend…” She paused and flipped her hair behind her neck. “Have you tried to ask for her er forgiveness? Like trying to talk things out with her,” She raised her eyebrows while looking at him. “You think that’s going to work? I would’ve done that already if I was sure it’ll work. What do you think I should do?” He ruffled his hair for seconds and exhaled deeply. “You know it’s been years since I last dated any girl, and I’ve been busy with work, so I almost have no idea about what make women happy “Scratch that, Xander. Are you saying you never dated any girl after you two separated?
