Vivian then continued, "You've been working hard on those projects, so you need to have a proper dinner! had the cafeteria make you chicken soup, but you skipped dinner so I had to bring it for you. It's quite late because I went hfirst and cooked before rushing here. You must be hungry, right?"
Lulu was still standing by the entrance, watching as the two stood, looking amicable under the glow of the warm lamp. Vivian then opened the food container to reveal the assortment of dishes inside.
