Lucien was in a daze. Ever since after that last cheesy confession from Efthalia, she had been distracted. Although, she made sure that it wasn't interrupting her work.
Nothing changed even after that. It was the same evening tea together in the office or the garden. Sometimes, they would walk around in the garden.
However, it wasn't as calm as Lucien had thought. She was on edge and nervous at the same time. Just as Efthalia had said, he did ask about herself. It wasn't anything complicated that made her think about her answer.
Lucien don't even know why she would even answer. She hasn't given her response as to whether she wanted to give him a chance. 'It's like I have given him a chance to redeem even when I didn't say it.'
She didn't regret it but it somehow terrified her. Lucien was now on the balcony, taking a sunbath. Her favorite cream milk was served for her along with some pastries. She had finished going through some papers and was now taking a break.
