Do You Flirt With Just Any Man?
“An unusual coincidence, sir,” I replied with a shrug.
“Aren’t you curious to know who you look like? She’s a member of our family, and we adored her deeply, one of them said quietly, still unable to tear his gaze off my face.
I looked at the man who had just spoken. Squinting my eyes, I surveyed him more closely. He had enchanting, jade–colored eyes, I thought to myself, unable to look away for a moment.
My curious gaze roamed to see if any of his other brothers shared the same eye color. To my surprise, none of them did, their eye colors differed from one another.
“She was really kind and beautiful. We look at her with respect and reverence,” one of them spoke, bringing my wandering thoughts back to the present.
Maybe I looked like their cousin, their sister, or their mother, I thought with a shrug.
Finally succumbing to the urge, I asked them, “Do I look like who?” My voice was so low it was barely audible.
It was the first man who entered the restaurant who answered. “You look like my grandma,” he replied rather seriously, and I almost laughed out loud but stopped myself just in time.
Good gracious! I mumbled under my breath, wondering if it was an insult or a compliment. I skimmed their faces and realized they were being truthful. They were not trying to make fun of me, as I had initially thought. In the end, I took their words as a compliment.
Smiling at them, I diverted the conversation to the menu on the table. “Please select your order.”
Waiting for them to decide, I fished my pen and notepad from the front pocket of my uniform. The flower vase on the table had my undivided attention when suddenly I felt a weight on my shoulder.
Turning my head to the side, I caught my breath when my eyes met Grey’s. Immediately, I looked away. There was a murderous glint in his eyes as he looked at me, making me wonder what I had done to summon such a lethal expression. I pretended to write something on my notepad. Even with my head down, I could still feel his hot, burning gaze on my back. Returning my attention to the men in front of me, I scribbled their orders on my notepad. Taking their orders took longer than I expected. Though they were brothers, their tastes differed, and I patiently waited for them to decide.
When I finally jotted down the last of their orders and confirmed it, I let out a sigh of relief. However, that relief vanished when a hand gently tapped my shoulder. When I looked up, Grey was towering behind me. The murderous glare in his piercing eyes hadn’t vanished; in fact, it appeared to burn brighter this time, as though he wasn’t making any effort to hide it. “Follow me, Lily,” he hissed under his breath. It was an order.
Before I could object, Grey walked away, leaving me exasperated by his high–handedness.
“Your order will be served in ten minutes. Please wait patiently. Thank you.” After politely excusing myself, I passed the notes to the kitchen before following Grey into the hallway. I found him leaning against the wall, arms folded across his chest. When he saw me, he straightened.
“Are you flirting with our customers?” he growled. The scowl on his forehead made his thick eyebrows merge into a straight line.
