Chapter 33 - Mystery Spin

Cindy muttered to herself while clutching her hands together.

"Oh god, I overdid it… Why did I get so excited? Lucas must think I'm weird!"

Embarrassment crept across her face, but she tried her best to maintain her cheerful smile in front of Lucas.

Meanwhile, Lucas stared at Cindy with confusion.

"Does she… like me? But… why isn't my passive skill Heartbound Desires activating?"

Lucas tried to read Cindy's body language, but he couldn't find any clear clues.

The atmosphere between them started to feel awkward. Both of them secretly glanced away, avoiding direct eye contact. After five minutes that felt like an eternity, Cindy finally stood up and grabbed her mask.

"Uhm… I think I should head home now, Lucas. Thanks for chatting with me!" she said with an awkward smile.

"Oh, yeah… sure." Lucas replied, scratching the back of his neck.
