He Wanted To Stand Tall And Proud Next To Her

Standing next to his bike, Lucas bent down slightly. He carefully tidied his hair using the right side mirror.

After making sure he looked presentable in his dark gray jacket, navy blue shirt and black pants, Lucas made his way toward the pedestrian walkway where rows of shops stood. His destination was a restaurant.

"I guess I'm still early," murmured Lucas to himself as he looked at the wristwatch. The clock was pointing to a quarter to seven.

Tonight, Lucas had a dinner appointment with the Feng spouses at seven.

After exchanging contact with Mrs. Feng a few weeks ago, she kept saying that they should meet. The plan only came to reality once Mr. Feng was done with his business trip abroad.

Lucas took out his phone out of the pocket of his jacket. Autumn was still early yet, the night air got chillier day by day. He read one of the messages sent by Mrs. Feng before.
