New Mission: Restoring the Relationship

"Let's have lunch now, okay?" Chiaki gauged his reaction. Her chest felt burdened and heavy at this anticipation.

Would he want it? Would he reject it?

It drummed her heart in unhealthy anticipation at just a normal question. They were no longer a dating couple, by right, so why did this simple question lurch her heart?

Lance Hua turned around from bending over to check the crystal monitor. He straightened up to look at Chiaki. At his full weight, his posture was terrifying, let alone his eyes that greedily drank in view with the wonder of her look.

Chiaki squirmed in her peep, so she followed suit. Straightening her back, she walked towards the lord confidently.

Fake it till you make it, fake it till you make it.

She chanted the mantra until her steps brought her to a comfortable distance from him, still honouring his personal bubble.
