 Irritation flashed in Lila‘s eyes and she walked to the dining table reluctantly. The house was so small that the living area and kitchen were pretty much one room and there was barely enough space for the four of them.

 As if the cramped feeling wasn‘t enough, the place was filthy, too. A few flies hovered over the food. Eva scooped some gunk into a bowl and put it in front of Lila. 

“Eat it while it‘s hot. I didn‘t know you‘d be here for dinner, so I didn‘t buy any other ingredients beforehand.” Lila was used to a life of luxury. She only ever had food made with imported fresh ingredients. Her taste buds were accustomed to food from high–end restaurants and their home chefs. She had never seen “peasant” food such as the bowl of gunk in front of her. But since she was already here, she had no choice but to eat it. 

However, the second she put the spoon in her mouth, she felt like vomiting. The disgusting–looking dishes coupled with the overall stench of the home made her lose her appetite. She sulkily pushed the bowl away and pouted.
