"A cup of coffee and cakes"

When I finished my work 9:00 p.m. and left the office, my boss invited me to dinner.

I was so surprised.

Indeed he got to care my working conditon. On the other day, he asked me "What can I do to help you with your work?". But there is nothing he can help me with my new job! So I answered jokingly "Nothing. But I always welcome a cup of coffee and cakes."

I didn't mean it. But honestly speaking, I was so pleased to hear that.

After all I ended up listening his career over dinner, but I was satisfied a bit because I could feel that he tried to apologize his attitude to me.
