Chapter 64- Peace
Marissa had to wait for Dean who was busy in Rafael’s office for God knew how long. There was some important meeting going on and Dean was inside the President’s office for a very long time.
And the revelation that Kate was also there. Something fishy was going on inside that room!
She was sharing a table with her friends, busy flipping the pen between her fingers when Delinda poked her index finger into her shoulder,
"Come back, Marissa. Back to earth."
Marissa took a sigh and turned to her, "I was thinking," Delinda placed her arms on the table and bent forward a little, "we could have a mix of finger foods along with main courses on my table. And maybe some mini quiches, sliders, and a variety of dips with bread and vegetables?" Delinda made a popping sound with her lips and gave a questioning glance to Shang-chi.
"I think that sounds great," Shang Chi gave a playful punch on Delinda’s shoulder, "I think, I should also add some Asian fusion dishes," he then turned to Marissa, "How about some spring rolls and sushi?"
"I love sushi. Why didn’t you think of it before," Peter closed his eyes in ecstasy swiping his tongue between his lips.
"The food will be for guests, silly. Not you," Marissa said with a serious face, but they knew she was teasing Peter.
"Oh, come on. We are allowed to eat, do you know why? Because we are humans..." he stuck out his tongue like a kid, making everyone sitting there laugh.
"By the way, Marissa," he stood up and scurried to his desk, shuffling through some papers before grabbing a rolled sheet, "Look," he called out, making his way back, with his rolled sheet, "I know you approved the mural designs last time for the event but just have a look here," he took off the rubber band from the sheet and started unrolling it on the desk, "last night I was thinking to add some vibrant and festive ideas...maybe a colorful cityscape with people celebrating... so instead of going to the bed I started this..."
With their curiosity piqued, the team leaned in to have a better look.
