In the villa's yard, Lisa was watering the flower beds with a watering can, the pale yellow tulips creating a warm atmosphere.
Suddenly, she looked up toward Carlyle, who was crossing the yard's gate.
"Good morning, Lisa!" Carlyle stopped in his tracks, greeting her timidly.
"Do you like Xu Yi?" Lisa suddenly put down the watering can, gazing into Carlyle's eyes.
Carlyle's face instantly flushed, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was so nervous he almost passed out.
Had she been found out after all?
She had been tutoring Xu Yi in Japanese for three days now.
At first, she thought it was their beautiful time alone together, but when she discovered Lisa's presence, it felt like someone had struck her forehead with a sledgehammer, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
Xu Yi hadn't hidden anything from her, nor had he used honeyed words to deceive her; he simply mentioned that if she was willing, she could continue to help with tutoring the next day.
