Tara Summer widened her eyes, looking across at Liam Yancey at the other end of the long dining table. Despite the glare of the brilliantly lit restaurant, she couldn't quite make out his expression from twenty meters away.
No matter how hard she stared at him, Liam Yancey didn't lift his eyes from his plate, engrossed in his food. His movements were graceful, exuding the demeanor of aristocratic royalty with every gesture.
Tara was eating and observing him the whole time. After a full hour, she felt like she was invisible, as if she didn't exist.
"Liam... " she hesitated before switching her address, "Master Liam, I... I've thought it through, if I go to Saint Emperia Hospital, can our relationship be kept a secret?"
"Hmph." The man finally raised his head, his dark pupils icy, "You want a secret marriage?"
Tara wanted to roll her eyes, but she held herself back: "I don't want people to think I'm using my connections, I want to rely on my own abilities!"
