What Do You Want Her To Choose?

"Are you that surprised?"

Liliana's question prompted laughter out of Lucas' lips. The sound was as pleasant as always. Shaking his head in helplessness, he nodded.

"I really didn't expect to see you here, Lili," admitted Lucas. His lips melted into a smile, "You even brought food for me and Kevin. Thank you so much."

Liliana smiled sheepishly. She casually pushed her long hair behind one ear, her cheeks were dyed with a faint shade of blush.

"Actually... I was worried if I upset you by coming here. I didn't even ask you first. Taking my liberty."

Lucas understood why Liliana was voicing her uneasiness. Until now, he kept where he worked and lived from his family's knowledge. His mother and younger brother only knew that he was employed as a pastry chef.

Slowly shaking his head, Lucas tried to disperse Liliana's worries. Placing his gaze on hers, he lowered his tone.
