Chapter 2: Lunch with Mrs. X

Yoh had strode into the restaurant, wearing his trademark white tee and khaki pants. He had immediately felt out of place for most of the patrons were dressed in expensive-looking suits. He silently prayed that he would not earn stares for his attire that looked horribly strange among them.

The butler frowned slightly at Yoh's clothes and raised a single eyebrow. Yoh blushed and mumbled, "Mrs. X, please." His voice was barely audible but the butler seemed to have heard him perfectly, ushering him towards a table at the back of the restaurant.

Yoh stumbled into a chair opposite Mrs. X, who was enjoying her cup of tea, sipping it in a most elegant manner. She smiled at Yoh, her lips pursed into a thin line. Yoh almost sighed in relief. He did not want, most of all his prospective employer, to think that he had an eccentric fashion style.

"I thought that you might appreciate a civilized lunch at Fedora's much rather than a interview at the apartment." Mrs. X had declared promptly, resting a napkin upon her lap.

"Well, thank you, that's really… very considerate."

Mrs. X laughed, "Not really. I just love to eat out."

She waved over the waiter who offered menus to them.

"I.. Do you know what you're having? I… I don't mean to rush you but I'm attending a 2 o'clock lecture at The Parents' Society - Super Mum: Trying to Juggle it All." Mrs. X chuckled a little, her azure eyes sparkling.

Yoh gazed at his menu. 'Cod cheeks? What the hell is that?' He nearly asked but stopped himself in time. "I'll just have a burger," Yoh finally uttered

Mrs. X grimaced slightly at the word 'burger'. She coughed. "I can't guarantee that the meat here is antibiotic free but the chef here is from Britain so I highly recommend the cupcakes," She gestured for the waiter. "Two cupcakes, please."

The rest of the afternoon went on rather smoothly with no interruptions. Well, I will not say, without interruptions. Yoh had clumsily spilled his coffee several times and dropped a cup, shattering it into fragments. He was most horrified when he learned that the cup had been imported from France and was quite, well very expensive.Mrs. X kindly offered to pay for it though, managing a weak smile as she handed her credit card to the waiter.

Lunch ended on a positive note. It was decided that Yoh would start work in one week's time in Mrs. X's apartment at Upper East Side as a nanny.

Author's Note: This chapter seemed a bit boring though… But I'm sure that the next chapter will be action-packed with humor when Yoh starts his job as a nanny . Thank you for your review, Falcon Strife and please continue to review. Thank you!
