Chapter 20 The Friendly Proposal

"Why the hell do we make such a big deal out of things that shouldn't be a big deal?"

For the next few days, Julia kept on thinking about the kiss she shared with Zain.

She knew it was just a form of first aid since she was drowning, but she couldn’t help herself. As she was sitting alone in her room thinking about it, she heard a knock from the door.

“It’s me, may I come in?” James finally learnt a thing or two about knocking the door before entering. She allowed him in and he opened the door. He stepped inside and saw her hugging the pillow tightly. Clearly, she was in some emotional distress.

“I’ve been observing you today and you look like you have a lot on your mind. Do you mind telling me what you are thinking about?” He sat down beside her with the intention to listen.

They didn’t have much time to have personal conversation with each other due to their busy schedule, however, when they did have the time to talk, James was a good listener.
