"Amoy, Darius should I bring your dinner to your rooms?" Xavier inquired making them both jump in surprise as they didn't see when he walked up to them.
"Xavier stop doing that, oh my god." Amoy scolded him holding her chest this made Darius laugh slightly but he immediately stopped, feeling her burning gaze on him. "And yes, bring my dinner to my room." She moved to go up the stairs but another voice stopped her.
"Amoy, why don't you join me for dinner? You too Darius." They both turned to her father who walked out the kitchen with a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" She asked raising her eyebrow as lost as Darius. The man shrugged acting as if she and Darius weren't the reason

"I'm a published author. What about you?" "I'm a writer as well, but I never got the chance to publish anything."

"Sir, you've been here for 20 minutes and your friends haven't arrived I'm going to have to ask you to give up your table."

Her natural hair was hidden under her bonnet since she didn't want it to get messed up before she left for work. She wore a navy blue dress, along with a jacket that was slightly lighter than it.
