Ambassador was sitting with a woman, who, by the looks of it, was his wife.


    She was sitting extremely close to the ambassador; looking at Jack and Helen, she smiled sweetly.


    She was a middle-aged blonde woman; her face looked kind and gentle.


    Jack and Helen approached the couple, and the ambassador gestured for them to sit down.


    Jack and Helen sat down; the whole atmosphere was quiet; only the chirping of the birds could be heard.


    "You really are the son of Joshua; we went to the same high school; you look like your father so much," said the middle-aged woman, then she smiled at Jack.


    "Jack, this is my lovely wife Brenda; she''s my high school sweetheart; we studied at the same school." Mario introduced Brenda to Jack.


    "Hello, Auntie, How are you?" Jack smilingly asked.


    "Oh my! I am very good. Thank you for asking. I''ve heard about you from Mario. I am really sorry about your father and mother," Brenda said.


    "Don''t be." Jack just sat morefortably because the atmosphere was very cozy, and with such kindhearted Mario and Brenda being present, the whole room vibe felt good to Jack.


    "So what are you doing nowadays, Jack?"" Brenda asked while pouring theplimentary drink to everyone present, and Helen stood up to help her out.


    "I am studying at TUM and doing some side business." Jack wanted to skip past the work part with a light tone.


    "Some side business? Ahaha, Brenda, you don''t know the car this boy drives. It''s very beautiful; I''ve never ridden a Porsche thisfortably." Marioughed and exposed Jack''s financial situation.


    " Oh? A Porsche? Nice going," Brendaplimented Jack; she was shocked a little.


    "Thank you," Jack smiled and tried to avoid the conversation as much as possible.


    Helen was feeling quite awkward between her superior and Jack, whom she barely knows; she got a crush on Jack; Jack was tall and handsome; he started a conversation with her, so she doesn''t know why, but she likes him.


    She got no experience; in the thing called love, she just never felt this way.


    "Jack and you, what''s your name, youngdy?" Brenda asked Helen; she was looking at her kindly because Helen was nervous and she was actually looking downward. Brenda, being a very kind woman, gently asked her name.


    "H... Helen," Helen as usual stammered before answering.


    "Helen and Jack, are you guys''s couple?" Brenda asked; she asked because she didn''t know Helen.


    "Ahaha, no no, Honey, she''s work''s at the embassy," Marioughed and exined.


    " Ah! I am sorry." Brenda apologized right away, looking guiltily at Jack and Helen; as a host, she made a blunder.


    "No problem, Auntie," Jack smiled and said.


    "Y...yes, don''t worry, ma''am," Helen also chimed in.


    "She''s a very quiet type; she doesn''t talk much, so I invited her so she can be friends with our little Jack here," Mario winked at his wife.


    " Ah! You did good, honeyy!" Brenda looked at Helen and smiled at her to make her at ease.


    After that, Brenda actively talked with Helen, and Helen didn''t feel left out on the table of conversation.


    They ordered food; there were many types of food; Jack has never seen such food in his life.


    There was a dessert; Jack was so confused. It cost 49€ per te, but Jack couldn''t even taste the thing; it was so small, and he finished the thing in one whole bite.


    Everyone else was enjoying it slowly. Helen was astonished to see Jack consume the entire dessert in a single bite, causing her mouth to open in a small ''o'' shape.


    ''How can someone open their mouth so wide?'' Helen wondered in her mind. After giving it some thought, Helen pushed her te towards Jack, intending to give him her portion.


    Mario and Brenda were seeing this; they looked at each other and smiled happily.


    Jack, seeing a te slowlying towards him, was a little shocked. He whispered in a low voice to Helen, "What are you doing?"


    "I can''t eat anymore; can you help me finish it?" Helen also whispered back; she not only lowered her voice but also lowered her posture.


    "Are you sure?" Jack wasn''t going to refuse Helen. He was sure she mustered up all her courage to the max.


    "Y...yes, here," Helen then just pushed the whole te in front of Jack.


    Jack didn''t hesitate and finished the left-over dessert like before with one bite.


    "We''re going to go and take rest; you young people should go and enjoy the rest of the day," Mario smiled and said.


    "S... sir, I''ve got duties," Helen said to Mario.


    "Yes, I know. Take it easy, youngdy; remember you''re just learning; just inform Joe that Me and you are noting to the office today." Mario used his authority.


    "Y...yes, I am going to inform him right away." Saying this, she stood up and left the room immediately.


    "Ahaha, this girl," Marioughed out loud.


    "Who is this girl?" Brenda asked the question because Mario was a strict boss, but seeing him treat Helen such a way, she had to ask.


    "Well, she''s from a war-torn country; her parents died from the flu; she grew up with her grandfather; then Samuel and Eren adopted her; Samuel and Eren are close friends of mine; Samuel and Eren lost everything there, and the little girl struggled again.


    She may be a bit unsocial, but it''s important to remember that she''s still a young child, which is why I tend to be lenient with her." Mario rified the situation and took a sip of the wine.


    "Sir, I''ve informed Joe, and He said to take it easy." Helen ran inside and reported to Mario.


    "Alright, we old couple will just go our own way and take rest. Jack visit us from time to time. The red-colored duplex you saw before entering the embassy. That''s our house," Mario smilingly said to Jack.


    "Alright, uncle," Jack nodded his head.


    "Now then, let us say good-bye; you guys can go together somece. I know a ce that is good. It''s called Monkey Bar, not far from here, and that bar has a nice view." Mario suggested Jack a bar, then he took his leave with his wife.


    "I''ll see you kids around," Brenda waved her hand at Jack and Helen.


    The whole room was quiet after Mario and his wife left. Jack didn''t know if he should invite Helen, and Helen didn''t know what to say to Jack.


    "So, you want to go to the bar?" Jack asked with a little caution.


    "S...sure, but I don''t drink alcohol." Helen agreed, but she was also very nervous to go with a boy for the first time.


    Jack smiled and said, "Alright, alcohol doesn''t suit me anyway."


    Jack and Helen walked towards the front gate, and as Jack didn''t give his keys to the valet, his car was in the open parking lot.


    Facil Restaurant was inside the Mand Hotel. After leaving the hotel, both Jack and Helen felt the chill in the air; the weather was getting colder and colder.


    Jack gestured for Helen to walk fast; as she was a very shy girl, Jack didn''t hold her hand and only gestured for her with his eyes.


    Helen nodded, then walked fast. Jack pressed his key, the car opened up, and then he pressed the heater button on his key. His car key had three buttons: one for unlocking the doors, another for the A/C, and a third for the heater.


    The remote key works from 100 feet, so Jsck pressed as soon as he was in range.


    Entering the warm car Jack felt very good; Helen''s face was white with cold. Upon entering the car, she also felt relieved because the situation was that both of them were in such a hurry. Helen sat on the back passenger seat.


    Jack looked back after calming down a little. Helen also looked at Jack awkwardly. Jackughed at Helen, seeing her cute appearance.


    "D... Don''tugh at me." Helen''s cheek puffed a little with anger; she was skinny, but she looked extremely cute puffing her cheeks.


    "I am sorry forughing at you." Jack immediately shut hisughter.


    "You''re a bad boy, aren''t you?" Helen suddenly asked; her tone was changing from her anger.


    Her cheeks were still a little puffed. It seems she doesn''t stutter when she''s angry.


    "I am not a bad boy," Jack denied.


    "I don''t believe you, humph." She was still mad at Jack forughing at her.


    She was actually freezing when she walked towards the car, and she didn''t realize which seat it was; she just went opposite of Jack.


    So when Jackughed at her, she felt shy and wanted to bury her head in the ground like an ostrich, but she found Jackfortable enough to show her emotions a little.


    From the very beginning, Helen has learned how to hide her feelings, like when she was very little and food was scarce, she always pretended to be full in front of everyone.


    Only in front of her grandfather can she cry and say she was very hungry, so she found Jackfortable enough to show her emotions.


    Jack wasn''t aware of such things; he just didn''t mind Helen''s anger because she looked extremely cute with puffed cheeks.
