Chapter 21: “MATCHMAKER”

"HOW are you?" Daniel one day while she was busy encoding newly arrived books in the computer.

"The way you talk it's like we haven't seen each other for a long time," she said chuckling softly then glanced at Daniel who was sitting in the chair in front of the working table. And as usual, he is still staring at her.

Daniel laughed softly as he remained to stare at her face. She could not just say it but every time Daniel did that she seemed so anxious that she could not explain.

"Have you eaten your lunch already?" Daniel asked her a moment later.

Ara shook her head. "How about you?" she asked the young man.

"No, I'm waiting for you," he replied bluntly.

"W-What?" nervousness immediately enveloped Ara's chest because of what Daniel said.

Daniel laughed softly. "Let's eat lunch together? Jason is still on duty," he told her.
