Chapter 44

Richard was silent for a moment, looking so serious with whatever was on his mind before he sighed softly and took his hand away from me.

"I don't think that's a bad solution. But you know what's better than that?"

"What?"

"Let's just forget about the topic before it ruins our second date tonight."

From the look on his face, I could sense Richard's slight reluctance to further discuss the topic we discussed tonight, and I responded with a resigned smile.

"All right. Let's forget that and focus on what you called as 'our date'."

"Turns out it was only me who thought what we are doing here is a date."

He then took another deep breath, this time he did it while stirring his drink which he had not touched since earlier.

"Richard? Is that something wrong with the thing I said to you just now?"
