Chapter 127: Desserts Made by the Groom
Lariette introduced Ruediger to Nora, Bella and Phoebe. The three ladies couldn’t hold back from their excitement upon discovering their colleague’s new marriage.
Lariette tried to answer their questions without giving out too many details. Ruediger smiled watching the ladies’ interaction.
"The meeting should start soon, right?" Lariette turned to Ruediger while reaching for the paper bag, "I’ll follow my colleagues now, Eddy. Thank you for walking me here."
Lariette knew she better head to the meeting room now. If not, the ladies most likely would come up with more questions about their relationship.
A happy Ruediger nodded. He handed the paper bag of desserts to Lariette. As he spoke, his voice was considerably softer than usual, "Text me once you’re done. I’ll come to pick you up."
Lariette smiled sheepishly when Ruediger’s remark earned playful looks from the three teachers. She initially wanted to say that she would be fine going home by herself, but...
"Okay. I’ll send you a message."
The curves of Ruediger’s smiley eyes softened, following the arch of his lips. He was glad to hear Lariette immediately agree with him. He looked forward to coming to pick her up.
"I’ll get going now," Ruediger returned his gaze to Nora, Phoebe and Bella, "I hope you’ll enjoy the desserts. See you again."
"Yes. See you again, Mr. Ruediger."
"Don’t worry about Lari! She’ll be safe here."
