Jenna was lost in her memories . Those days flashbacked to her like the passing wind . So much she had grown but it was never by herself . As said, she received guidance from Lillian Grey, Shane Ricardo and many more to reach the place that she's residing now . However, in her heart, Ms . Grey and Mr . Ricardo were always next to her beloved grandmother and her parents . If Mr . Ricardo didn't give her the job, she would have struggled a lot . Furthermore, if Ms . Grey didn't push her hard to learn she wouldn't have developed the skills required to survive in this field . Jenna felt grateful for both of them . Indulging in her past memories, she got interrupted by Lillian Grey, who had returned from her lunch shopping .
"Jenna, come back here . Please come back to earth . Jenna . . . Jenna . . . " Lillian kept calling by waving hands before her face until Jenna responded . Seeing Lillian, Jenna's face brightened; as if the god had appeared in front of her . She lowered her voice and called out Lillian .
"Ok . Something's wrong with you Jenna . I have a girlfriend named Lucy . As much as you're attracted to me, I decided not to cheat my lover . " Lillian backed off after replying .
Confused Jenna wasn't sure what's happening . She looked puzzled . Lillian saw her and felt empathy .
"I knew it . Who can resist me? After all, I give out the aura of awesomeness . I told you to be careful Jenna . Look what happened?" Lillian reply was little ostentatious .
"What happened, Ms . Grey? I just remembered how I got the job and met you for the first time . And nothing like being attracted to you, Ms . Grey . I'm just feeling grateful . " Jenna shut down Lillian's wild imagination . Unable to cope up with the embarrassment, Lillian was stuck in finding some great excuse to compensate her behavior .
"You got stuck in the past and avoided returning . To bring you back, I devised a plan to shock you . And it worked . Now, here eat your lunch . " Lillian tried to cover up . Their lunch was pretty simple: BBQ burgers, tacos, kale salad, and lemon freezo . Jenna remembered how Ms . Grey was obsessed with food trucks and their foods .
"Ms . Grey, do you remember what you got me for your first time?" Jenna wanted Lillian to reply so badly . However, Lillian gave off the 'I don't remember those petty details' look which pissed off Jenna . She tried hard to make Lillian remember it, "Did you not remember that day you bought me food from 'Cravings' food truck; those chicken wings, some chili fries, and your most beloved grilled cheese sandwich . " Jenna was now infuriated . She thought 'for this long I remembered our past journey and our first meeting, it was so emotional . But how can you not go along with it Ms . Grey?'
"I guess . . . . " Lillian replied vaguely . Jenna went to back to being silent . Like the child who wanted to play with their parents but got shut down severely . 'From now on, I'm never feeling grateful for Ms . Grey specifically . ' She vowed to herself .
"Grilled cheese sandwich, chicken wings, lemon chili fries, and classic mojito . . . It's LEMON . . . chili fries Jenna; in fact, you had the most of it . " Lillian answered in that silent space . How can she forget?
"I was just testing you again and you passed . I'm surprised, Jenna . You always pass with flying colors . Very good . Keep it up and now don't give me that silent treatment . It's good that you feel grateful for me . But, you know I hate remembering past and feeling nostalgic . It's not my thing . So if you behave like this once more, I'll gag you forever . " Lillian stood up and walked away smiling mischievously .
"Got it, Ms . Grey . I will never ever bring it up till I die . " Jenna vowed once again and went back to continue eating .
After the lunch, Jenna left Lillian's place to visit the printer's office . All the work for book release were established and now they only need to wait until the D-day .
