Soren’s voice was smooth and low. “Had lunch yet?”
Why? Was he going to inviteto lunch?
Although I found his question amusing, | answered earnestly, “Not yet. Still busy with work.”
“When will you be free?”
Huh? What was that supposed to mean? Could it be... he had returned to Metropolis?
“I'm almost done. Everything else is pretty trivial in comparison-I can finish them in the afternoon anyway,” |
replied.
“Sounds good! Let's have lunch together at the cafe across from your building,” he said calmly, though | could
hear the joy in his voice.
Lunch! Together! Yes!
1 leaped to my feet in excitement. “You're back?”

How insane was that? He had worked until 3:00 a.m., only to be back here by noon already?
“Mm-hmm. Just in tfor lunch with you.”
| was quivering
“I'm going to get ready now,” | said.
“No rush.”
| ended the call and quickly scanned my outfit.
I'd chosen a casual look today since | had to take the public commute. But | had two pairs of red heels stashed in
my office for emergencies like this.
1 changed into my red heels and looked into the mirror.
Ha! Now my aura was different! Even my casual look had elevated, exuding elegance and class.
| didn’t have tfor makeup, but then again, | was born pretty. A swipe of lipstick was all | needed-my lips
would complement my heels. Seduction in plain sight.
| stepped into the elevator of the building across from mine As it ascended, my heartbeat quickened, and |
started to fantasize again.
This cafe was where | had returned his watch, right? And now, as soon as he returned from his trip, he chose this
spot for our lunch. What could that mean?
| stepped into the cafe and immediately spotted him at our sual table.
He straightened his back and smiled at me.
| strode toward him and launched into conversation before even took my seat, pretending to be a social butterfly.
“How are you back so soon? Didn’t you finish your work by 3:00 a.m.?”
How else was | supposed to hide my excited, nervous heart?

His answer sparked a whole new set of thoughts.
Did he really work overtjust to finish faster? Why the rush?
| stared at him, my heart pounding again. | couldn’t even figure out what to say!
Soren pointed to my arm. “Which one got hurt? Has it heale?”
My suspicion deepened.
Had he hurried his work because Edward and Largued last night, leavinginjured? Had he adjusted his plans
to rush home... for me?
My mind was swirling, and | didn’t even answer him.
My silence seemed to make him uneasy. His expression grew more serious. “What's wrong? Was the injury worse
than you told me?”
| shook my head quickly. “No! It really was just a scratch!”
He raised his hand expectantly, and for a moment, it felt like a prince issuing a command. “Letsee.”
