Chapter 73: Good Prank
’Oh crap!’ Keira panicked and pursed her lips when the Lieutenant sitting next to General Lei quickly drank water. But he did not comment, rather he excused himself, saying that he was going to go out to the restroom.
Torin was grinning inwardly as he observed Zach’s face.
’I got you, Bro!’ He exclaimed silently, he felt like he had won the lottery when he saw Zach gulp in as his face crumpled. Now, all he needed to do was to scoot.
General Lei laughed and commented first, "It’s not that bad. Just a little bit salty and spicy I guess, but it’s tolerable."
Keira tried to smile with General Lei’s comment. As expected, her Uncle was trying to say the words as nice as he could.
She saw Jeru smile at her and gave a thumb up gesture so Keira smiled back, feeling a little bit relieved, thinking the food was not that bad.
A cadet entered the room and interrupted the awkward atmosphere in the room.
He looked at General Lei and said, "Sir, Field Marshal Chan wanted to see you if you are already done with the meeting here."
General Lei nodded as he excused himself, stood up and walked towards the door.
When he passed by Keira, he winked and the latter smiled back at him.
"Practice makes it perfect, dear. You should master the cooking next," General Lei whispered at Keira’s ear before he left the room.
