SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 67

"Pass me the salad Christina." Hera overhead Martha's voice as she approached the dinner area with Bryce trailing behind her. She entered to see that they had prepared a grand feast for dinner. They've never really had a huge dinner such as this one before so she already knew that they went all out because of Bryce. They wanted to make a good first impression to her boss.

"You're here." Christina squealed happily. "Come and sit next to me Hera." She tapped an empty space next to her and after giving Bryce a brief glance, she walked towards the empty seat and lowered herself on it.

Bryce felt conflicted. He was banking on sitting next to Hera for dinner and maybe for the rest of the night but he doesn't see that happening anytime soon. Hera was with her family and they'd probably want to spend more time with her since they haven't seen her in a long time. It would be selfish of him to try and get in between that and besides, it'll only be for a couple of days and Hera would be back with him again so for now, he'd have to endure the pain that came with this painful, temporary separation.

"You can seat next to me Bryce." Sister Martha called out to him and he obediently obliged. He couldn't say no to her even if he wanted to. She seemed nice and plus, she was one of the reasons why he got to meet his Hera and for that, he was internally grateful.

"The food might not be what you're used to at home but take it from me, it's very delicious and you will definitely like it." She assured him, her fingers going up to her face to adjust her glasses.

"Well If you made it yourself then I know for a fact that it is indeed delicious." Bryce commented. "Hera told me how she learned from you and every dish she has ever made for me is a hundred percent satisfying so i can definitely vouch for you if you ask me to." He added, his eyes glazing over Hera warmly. She ducked her head shyly at his words and reached out to grab the plate that has been offered to her by Christina.

"So Hera, how has work been over there?" Sister Theresa threw her a knowing question. "Have you been doing okay? I know how difficult it must be staying in the big city all by yourself without your family by your side."

"Work has been going great and i made some friends over there. Plus..." She trailed off. "My boss has been really nice. He takes care of me and makes sure that i don't encounter any difficulty throughout my stay there."

Bryce dug into his food with a broad smile on his face. She was talking about him to her family and it really felt nice.

"What about your plans to go back to school?" Martha asked out of the blue. "You've always talked about how you would want to go back to college and start something for yourself. How are you going on with that plan? Anything in motion yet?"

Hera flushed a little. "For now, I'm still trying to get accustomed to my job and how the city works but with time, I'd make a plan on that. I'd still need to gather a lot of funds for college and we all know it's not easy."

"I'm glad that you're still thinking about that. It makes me incredibly happy and with the lord's help, it will happen so never loose hope my dear. We're all rooting for you." Theresa said in quiet consolation.

"And don't forget to pray about it in church tomorrow alright?" Martha encouraged Hera. "It's detriment that you do, so that God will guide your path and teach you the right one to follow."

"Thank you sister Martha and yes, i will."

"I also can't wait for you to hit it big so that i can come over to stay with you in the big city." Christina sulked. "Don't forget that you promised me." With the way she spoke, one would think that she was a child but she was an adult who was still innocent to the harsh realities of the world.

"I know and i still intend on keeping that promise." Hera assured her with a smile. Christina reached out for the meat on her plate and fed it to King. Bryce looked surprised to see that he had been hiding there all these while.

Dinner went smoothly apart from the occasional chitchatting that went around the table. They were mostly talking about the Thanksgiving service tomorrow and how they planned it to go. Bryce also got to learn that it was one of the biggest events to happen at the convent and they kept telling him how happy they were that he would be in attendance.
