They placed the food on the long coffee table and gathered around to savor the dishes Hailey had prepared.
Fred and Hilda sat on the sofa while Carl and Jake both occupied the two couches. Hailey and Vince took the love seat, and Tim sat at the dining table, which he preferred rather than sitting across from Madame Shen.
Vincent was now eating on his own, but as he was only using his right hand, Hailey was attentive to putting food on his plate.
"Ah. This is top-class cooking! Bro, you are so lucky! Five-star restaurants will feel ashamed if they get to taste these!" Jake compliments Hailey.
"These are indeed 10-star dishes!" Carl echoed. "The faculty never stop praising the dishes you make for the Class Reunion, Miss Hailey," Carl added. Hailey looked at her with a bit confused on her face, and Carl understood that. He asked Hailey to call each other by name if they were not in the school. But knowing Vince, who immediately made a protest, Carl is playing safe.
