Bye, My Ex-husband

Chapter 62: Courtney's Story 

When Janessa came downstairs from the top floor, she noticed Shelby was still there.It was already their lunch break.

What was Shelby doing here? Janessa walked over to Shelby and watched as she bent over the table.

"Did you have lunch yet?"Janessa asked.

Shelby squealed in surprise when she heard Janessa's voice.Raising her head from the seat, she said, "I thought you would've left to have lunch by now."

"I came from upstairs.I was about to go out and have something to eat, but then I noticed you there.What's the matter? You're not in the mood to eat?"

The two of them used to always have lunch together.Recently Janessa had to meet with Rayan, she often had to work late, so the two of them couldn't eat together.

"I'm alright.My stomach is just a bit sore,"Shelby explained.

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment as she revealed this information to Janessa.

When Shelby turned around, Janessa had a hot compress in her hand and pressed it against her stomach.

Janessa figured Shelby was having menstrual cramps.

No wonder Shelby had looked drained of energy all morning.

"I know you might not be in the mood to eat, but you have to eat something.It would be too late to order takeout now.There's a great restaurant nearby.The food there is delicious! Some warm soup would be good for you right now.You'll feel much better after you have some."

Shelby didn't want to, but when she saw the concerned look on Janessa’s face, she couldn't possibly refuse.

The restaurant was only a block away from the office.

The place was on the smaller side, but it was neat and tidy.

The shop was far away from the main street.

Because of this, there weren't many people having lunch at the restaurant.

There were two private rooms inside the restaurant available to customers.

Janessa called the place before they walked there so she could reserve one of the rooMs.The two of them made their way into the private room the moment they arrived.

It was a well-decorated space, which made them feel like they were at home.

There was a warm and cozy atmosphere in the restaurant.
