Chapter 320: Ligeti’s ball II

The trip to the Ligeti's ducal palace was an hour away by carriage, but since they were riding a car (omnibus), it would only take them about half an hour.

Half an hour is a short time, but for Serena it felt like an eternity. She took a glance at Geoffrey. She did not notice it earlier, but now looking at him, his lips and the corner of his mouth had some tint of red. She knew that it was her lipstick from when he kissed her. Thank goodness she only applied a thin layer on her lips just so that it will redden a little more.

Gods, this is horrendous. She took out her handkerchief. "Geoffrey, your lips are tinted with some lipstick, please wipe it off."

Geoffrey tried to look innocent. If he didn't know any better, he would say that Serena's taking the initiative. "Sorry, I can't see it myself. Would you please help me?"
