469 Waiting for the Wedding

Emily suddenly felt super self-conscious. “Fine, I’ll drink it. But after I’m done, go back to your office!”

With that, she tilted her head back and gulped down the entire glass of lemon water in one go. She quickly shoved the empty glass back into Vincent's hands, saying, "There, all done!"

Vincent's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Great. Come to my office at lunchtime," he said with a hint of mischief.

Emily frantically tried to signal him with her eyes, mouthing, “People are watching!”

Vincent seemed completely unfazed and continued, “It’s freezing outside, so don’t go out. I already asked Dylan to pick up lunch for us; he’ll bring it up, and we’ll eat together.”

“...Okay.”

He’s gotta be done now, right? Emily thought to herself, hoping he’d leave before the entire office saw this unfold live.

“Oh, one more thing,” Vincent added nonchalantly, “Don’t rush off after work. We’ll swing by and pick up your uncle first, then head to my place for dinner with my dad and Meggie.”
