11 am. Yan Xiaoran sat across Alexander. They were currently inside a fancy hotel restaurant and finished their lunch.
After wiping the sauce from her lips, Yan Xiaoran stared at Alexander who was looking down on his wristwatch every now and then.
Her heart felt heavy. Her hands gripped her skirt before slacking as she prepared herself for what's soon to come.
"You don't have to join me for lunch." She began. She thought that since Alexander came in a hurry, he must have left some matters in his company to come to her.
Alexander raised his head and replied, "I promised to have lunch with you and besides, it's nothing urgent."
"But you don't have to do that if you're busy." She saw him open his mouth but she continued, "I was with Haruka, we can eat out after we shop for our clothes."
I will be wrapping up the first Arc and will now proceed to the next one. There will be a TIME SKIP.
I know you might be asking why and cursing me because of this… It's because I want to build up the tension as well as make sure that the cultivation (XD) of Yan Xiaoran towards the path of becoming an independent and strong woman is not abrupt and I can develop her character more.
Anyway, I will do a mass release. So, look forward to it!
