Become a friend?

He waited patiently for the little girl to respond to his question. But this cute girl was silent. Is she sick? Or, she does not hear me? Andrew, starting to worry about her.

After a while,

Finally, He heard the little girl speak in her alluring voice, "My name... Mel." Andrew just smiles calmly. Of course, I know your name, Ms. Mel Tan.

"Ms. Mel, wait here for a while, okay? I'll ask someone to bring new clothes for you." He took out his cell phone, then call someone.

Mel just nodded.

"Do you want to eat something, Ms. Mel?"

Eat again? Instantly she felt nauseous, imagining the food she had just eaten. She refused quickly.

Mel didn't know what to do. She kept quiet without starting a conversation. Somehow, being in this room alone with this dangerous man causing her brain function to decline drastically. How strange.

"Ms. Mel, Want to drink something?" he asks again.

No need. Just looking at your face is enough. Mel wanted to say that, but that's impossible, right?

"Yes, please, warm chocolate." She said, then turned her gaze out the window, trying not to make eye contact with him.

Andrew stood up to call the waiter. Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter delivered his order.

"Ms. Mel, can I ask you?" He leaned back on the sofa and then crossed his arms on his chest. He looks so relaxed.

"Sure!" Mel slowly turned her gaze to him.

"How old are you?" Damn! Andrew, cursing himself for asking such a stupid simple thing.

"Age? Uh, almost 22 years. Why?"

"Finished college?"

"Yes. How about you, Mr. Andrew? You look like..."

"Old?"

She shook her head. "N-no... I mean, where are you working?"After saying those words, she immediately wanted to disappear. What a shame, Mel!

Andrew chuckled. "Of course. And I'm older than you, Ms. Mel" He paused for a moment... then added, "we are four years apart. That is not much different, right?"

What does he mean by not much different? Is he referring to him and me not too old for each other? She was a little confused, but she could only nod in agreement.

After exchanging questions, which Mel thought were ridiculous questions, she finally felt more comfortable with Andrew and felt more relaxed. She can drink her hot chocolate casually, and once in a while, she secretly glances at him.

"By the way, can we be friends, Ms. Mel?" Andrew suddenly surprised Mel with his question.

Become friend? Does this nobleman want to become my friend? Mel was a little surprised.

It is such a coincidence, right? Since earlier, she was also looking for reasons to ask the same question. She needs to know his phone number.

This! Can he read my mind?

"Ms. Mel... Can we?"

Mel nodded quickly. "Y-yes, yes, we can!"

Andrew suddenly smiled broadly. It felt like now, he wanted to fly to the sky. He leaned closer to her and said, "Ms. Mel, Give me your phone..." He reached out his hand towards Mel.

Mel spontaneously gave her cell phone to Andrew.

After exchanging their cell phone numbers, suddenly a knock came from the door.

"Come in!" shouted Andrew calmly.

Mel's eyes widened when she saw a familiar man enter the room. That man was carrying a shopping bag, a famous clothing brand.

"Y-you... Mr. Raymond, right?" Mel spontaneously asked.

Raymond: "....."

Andrew immediately locked his gaze at Raymond as if he was telling him, don't let this little girl know my identity.

Raymond, who saw the young master's face change, could guess what he was thinking. He nodded as if answering, Yes, young master, don't worry, I understand.

Mel was too shocked to see Raymond. She didn't seem aware that the two men talked through their eyes.

Raymond turned his gaze to Mel, then said, "Hello, Miss Tan."

"Do you know each other?" Mel looked at Raymond, then looked at Andrew.

Andrew nodded. "Yes. We know each other. Raymond is my friend."

Raymond: "....." Since when did I become your friend?

In no time, Andrew received a shopping bag from Raymond, and he passes it to Mel. "Ms. Mel, you can change your clothes in that powder room." He pointed to the door in the corner of the room.

Mel took a shopping bag and entered the powder room without notice Andrew's eyes scolding Raymond.

As soon as Mel closed the powder room door, her legs went limp. She leaned against the door to keep herself from falling.

God? What just happened out there?

That man, the man in the black suit? The man in the elevator? Is this real, or am I just dreaming? Mel slapped her cheek. Instantly she could feel the pain. She slowly stroked her cheek gently.

Is it real? she murmurs.

Mel's eyes fell on the shopping bag in her hand.

She took a deep breath.

Yes, it's all real!

She immediately took out the cloth from the shopping bag and observed it.

This shirt? This shirt is an incoming collection from the G brand will be out in a month for the spring collection. Doesn't he realize that it's still winter season now?

Moreover, how can he have it? Even Anna VIP of this brand has not been able to buy this latest collection. Mel is wondering whether she needs to change her clothes or not? However, seeing she has coffee stains on her shirt and jeans, she finally decided to wear the clothes that Andrew gave her.

She immediately put on a light blue knee-length dress that fit her perfectly. Mel, frowning her forehead, this clothes he gave me to fit me so well? as if he knows my size? And he also prepared a thigh-high? Hmm, How does he knows my size?

After getting dressed, she wears her navy trench coat, which, luckily, matches this new outfit. She wonders if it's a coincidence or Andrew also knows something about fashion.

When Mel came out from the dressing room, she only saw Andrew in the room. He was standing leaning against the window. His eyes fixed on her.

Mel was a little surprised. "W-why are you looking at me? My clothes don't match? Ugly, right?" She asked worriedly.
