  &quot;Should we place our order for dessert yet?&quot; Daniel asked almost at the same time as she was talking to him.
  &quot;No dessert for me,&quot; Mitchell said.
  &quot;Okay.&quot; He replied. I have got something to show you,&quot; He added, reaching into his pocket to bring out a beautiful box.
  &quot;What is that?&quot; Mitchell asked curiously. 
  Daniel opened the box; it contained a very beautiful necklace. If not the most beautiful she had seen.
  &quot;Isn t this beautiful?&quot; She said, running her hand beautifully over the necklace.
  &quot;You think she would like it?&quot; Daniel asked quietly, sounding and looking serious.

   Daniel s girlfriend. They have only been dating for a year and Mitchell has only met her thrice, spoke a couple of times on the phone. She seems nice to her. Though Mitchell couldn t guess if she was crazi

  &quot;Call me when you get home.&quot; He said before he turn to her chauffeur.
  &quot;Drive safely, Abdul.&quot; He added.

  Daniel waited until her chauffeur drove out of the restaurant into the frosty night, before walking to his car to drive home.

  His mother, whom had chosen another man over him and his father. Her husband.
   Michael 

  &quot;How was your day?&quot; He asked.
  &quot;Stressful as usual.&quot; How did your presentation go?&quot; She asked, trying not to laugh.
  &quot;The best I have had,&quot; he said, giving her a stern look.
  &quot;Wow!&quot; Mitchell said, feigning a straight face before she finally spurts out laughter when she caught Daniel s knowing look.
  &quot;Congratulations&quot; She manages to say amidst laughter
  &quot;Thanks.&quot; 
  They discussed work for the next few minutes until their order arrived. Their wine, put in a bucket of ice, was placed at the center of their table. Their food was served, and another waiter soon joined the waitress at their table to serve their wine. Mitchell watched, always fascinated with the dexterity with which the restaurant staff goes about their work. Especially the waiters responsible for serving the drink. White Gloves in hands with white apron o
