It'll Come Naturally

With her brow furrowing, Leena opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she closed it again. Then she just moved her lips, staring at Kevin silently. She felt he was behaving quite strange today.

The reason why Kevin had kept silent along the way was because he was thinking about how he would tell Leena that he was going abroad for a few months and still not hurt her in any manner. Meanwhile, Leena looked down, still wondering what made Kevin so quiet today. "Is this the place that you were talking about?" Kevin asked, looking up at the large plate with "The Fragrance" written on it. 'What an elegant name! Is it somehow related to her?' Kevin thought. Somehow, he felt a little familiar with the building in front of him.

"Yes! Don't you think it's kind of familiar? It feels like a stream of clean water flowing slowly into your heart. Or it feels like you have found an oasis in a desert and you stop to take a drop of the fresh-tasting spring water from it." Leena said, continuing to smile at Kevin. If he could feel the same way, it proved that he also loved her the same way she did. A place decorated by her could make him feel attached to it just like he was attached to her!

"Since when have you become so poetic?" Kevin asked, trying to dodge eyes from Leena. It seemed that he still needed one more chance to pour his feelings for Leena out.

"Just imagine about it a little bit." Leena said, a flash of disappointment reflecting on her lips, then she gave a sweet smile immediately. At that moment, she looked as innocent and graceful as before, pure like a white lotus, without any kind of impurity attached to her. "Let's go inside!" Kevin said, interlocking his fingers with Leena's. He could feel the sincerity from inside her heart, and for a second he felt he had fallen into a trance. He felt like he had spoiled something, so he looked at her restlessly his eyes trying to find depth in her feelings. He was wondering if his replies had hurt Leena's feelings.

Leena looked up, her eyes right into Kevin's. Then she smiled slightly, which meant she had locked her sadness in her heart and she would never disclose to anyone about how hurt she was. Subconsciously still holding Leena's hand tightly, Kevin had an uneasy feeling that she would leave him, which made him feel very sad inside. The gloominess on his face was getting stronger.

"Are we sitting outside or do you want to sit inside the booth?" Leena asked as she flickered her eyes waiting for Kevin's response like an eager and timid bird waiting for her partner.

"The booth!" Kevin answered without any hesitation. What he wanted to do today was to spend time alone with Leena. He didn't want to be noticed. He knew his uniform could be easily detected and this was something he did not want. "Finally you have come, Leena." As soon as Kevin and Leena walked in, a soft voice whispered in their ears.

"Yep! Hope everything is fine here?" Leena asked, looking around. Although it wasn't the time for dinner, all the tables were occupied. This was probably the best proof of the reputation of this restaurant!

"Definitely! We are working very hard even if you're not here to guide and mentor us." The employees answered cheerfully. Meanwhile, they all were trying their best to not stare at Kevin, who was standing next to Leena and looked very handsome as per them. "Great! I totally believe you." Leena said. She preferred that they call her "Leena" rather than "Boss". So all the employees addressed her like that, which also made the people who didn't know the truth feel a little strange. However, she thought it was a funny thing that a young pretty girl like her was addressed "Boss" by a group of people who were older than her.

"Nana, are you familiar with this place?" Kevin asked doubtfully. But the next second, he wondered if this place was the property of FX International Group.

"Oh! I own this restaurant. So, don't you think I would be familiar with the place?" Leena said. The reason why she had brought Kevin here today was that she wanted to introduce her restaurant to him. So it was better if she told him the truth.

"What did you say? You mean this restaurant is yours?" Kevin asked with astonishment. He had never expected that she could own a restaurant like this. Actually, the thing that Kevin was about to tell her was going to be a bigger surprise than this. It seemed that in the following days, there would be more shocking things waiting for him.

"Yes! I can tell you that I grew up with this restaurant. Edward and my brother helped me to take care of it when I was in high school. I rarely showed up here because I was busy studying at that time." Leena explained smugly with a smile. In fact, if she had actually handled the restaurant on her own probably it would have stopped existing long back. Because she had no experience in the business. Even her LN Fashion was supported and managed by a very strong group. Without them, she couldn't handle it by herself as she felt she was not capable enough.

"You have impressed me again!" Kevin said, shaking his head in disbelief. He thought he knew a little about her. He had no idea whether any other unexpected things could happen again in the future. "Thanks for your praise and admiration." Leena said smiling happily. She took his compliment gracefully.

"Leena, is this handsome man your boyfriend?" One of the employees asked curiously. Leena had a very good relationship with the employees because of her easy-going and fun-loving character.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
