“But can’t you cook too? I cooked for you last time. Now it’s your turn. Fair’s fair, right?”
The elevator hadn’t arrived yet. Wesley beca little impatient and had an urge to bolt for the stairwell.
“What do you want for dinner?”
Maybe he was a softie, or maybe she was getting to him. He had bluntly rejected her just a few minutes ago, and now he was caving to her.
“Anything is okay. I’m not particular about food. I’m easy to please…”
Not waiting for her to stop talking, Wesley hastily strode into the elevator as soon as the doors opened. When he turned around and made eye contact with her, she blew him a kiss before the doors closed.
Inside the elevator, Wesley closed his eyes in frustration. He wondered why he listened to her. All he wanted to do was head back to work.

On the other hand, after closing the apartment door, Blair leaned against it, the smile fading from her face.
His words stung her heart.
She felt sad. She loved him so much that she cared about every word that flew from his mouth.
But she wouldn’t give up so easily. Otherwise everything would be in vain. She needed to strive for her happiness.
Blair caught szzz’s. When she woke up, it was nearly five in the afternoon. Wesley would be off work in about two hours.
She felt much better after a good rest. She went to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then began to clean her house.
Around half past seven, she heard the elevator open, for she had kept her apartment door ajar for just that purpose. In an instant, she dropped everything and hurried outside. To her surprise, she saw Talbot emerge from the elevator with a Large bag of ingredients and groceries in his hands.
Their eyes met. Talbot’s eyes were as wide as saucers as he shifted his gaze between Blair’s apartment and Wesley’s apartment.
