Jenna was lost in her memories. Those days flashbacked to her like the passing wind. So much she had grown but it was never by herself. As said, she received guidance from Lillian Grey, Shane Ricardo and many more to reach the place that she's residing now. However, in her heart, Ms. Grey and Mr. Ricardo were always next to her beloved grandmother and her parents. If Mr. Ricardo didn't give her the job, she would have struggled a lot. Furthermore, if Ms. Grey didn't push her hard to learn she wouldn't have developed the skills required to survive in this field. Jenna felt grateful for both of them. Indulging in her past memories, she got interrupted by Lillian Grey, who had returned from her lunch shopping.

"Jenna, come back here. Please come back to earth. Jenna... Jenna..." Lillian kept calling by waving hands before her face until Jenna responded. Seeing Lillian, Jenna's face brightened; as if the god had appeared in front of her. She lowered her voice and called out Lillian.

"Ok. Something's wrong with you Jenna. I have a girlfriend named Lucy. As much as you're attracted to me, I decided not to cheat my lover." Lillian backed off after replying.

Confused Jenna wasn't sure what's happening. She looked puzzled. Lillian saw her and felt empathy.

"I knew it. Who can resist me? After all, I give out the aura of awesomeness. I told you to be careful Jenna. Look what happened?" Lillian reply was little ostentatious.

"What happened, Ms. Grey? I just remembered how I got the job and met you for the first time. And nothing like being attracted to you, Ms. Grey. I'm just feeling grateful." Jenna shut down Lillian's wild imagination. Unable to cope up with the embarrassment, Lillian was stuck in finding some great excuse to compensate her behavior.

"You got stuck in the past and avoided returning. To bring you back, I devised a plan to shock you. And it worked. Now, here eat your lunch." Lillian tried to cover up. Their lunch was pretty simple: BBQ burgers, tacos, kale salad, and lemon freezo. Jenna remembered how Ms. Grey was obsessed with food trucks and their foods.

"Ms. Grey, do you remember what you got me for your first time?" Jenna wanted Lillian to reply so badly. However, Lillian gave off the 'I don't remember those petty details' look which pissed off Jenna. She tried hard to make Lillian remember it, "Did you not remember that day you bought me food from 'Cravings' food truck; those chicken wings, some chili fries, and your most beloved grilled cheese sandwich." Jenna was now infuriated. She thought 'for this long I remembered our past journey and our first meeting, it was so emotional. But how can you not go along with it Ms. Grey?'

"I guess...." Lillian replied vaguely. Jenna went to back to being silent. Like the child who wanted to play with their parents but got shut down severely. 'From now on, I'm never feeling grateful for Ms. Grey specifically.' She vowed to herself.

"Grilled cheese sandwich, chicken wings, lemon chili fries, and classic mojito... It's LEMON... chili fries Jenna; in fact, you had the most of it." Lillian answered in that silent space. How can she forget?

"I was just testing you again and you passed. I'm surprised, Jenna. You always pass with flying colors. Very good. Keep it up and now don't give me that silent treatment. It's good that you feel grateful for me. But, you know I hate remembering past and feeling nostalgic. It's not my thing. So if you behave like this once more, I'll gag you forever." Lillian stood up and walked away smiling mischievously.

"Got it, Ms. Grey. I will never ever bring it up till I die." Jenna vowed once again and went back to continue eating.

After the lunch, Jenna left Lillian's place to visit the printer's office. All the work for book release were established and now they only need to wait until the D-day.
