Bab 783: TokTik

After that day, Joseph made a decision to distance himself from Kay even more.

At first, it was because he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed over the fact that he had caught her crying. 

After that, it was because he found himself being more and more attracted to her. The stronger the feelings grew, the more scared he got.

The last thing he wanted was for her to get annoyed by him. It's not like he was doing anything, but he still was worried. She was a successful, beautiful, matured woman and then, there is this gangly kid barely in his teens, having a crush on her.

He imagined it was like how a teen felt like when a toddler got attached to them.

Joseph was lying down on the bench press, putting his arms across his eyes. 

"Is everything okay, Master Joseph?"

Urgh.

Joseph opened his eyes, to see the gym instructor observing him. The Smiths were not only rich, they paid attention to such minor details.
