Some while ago…
"Why do you always drive on your own? Did you not say that you had chauffeurs?" Maya suddenly asked Aiden who had just stopped the car.
Maya had made up her mind and was determined that she would not go to meet Mr. Smith empty handed. Hence, they had stopped at a fruit shop to get a fruit basket for Aiden's father.
"Well, I drive the car by myself most of the times because I like to drive." Aiden replied as they got out. "And I can't slack off while wooing you!" He thought to himself.
...
As they came back from the shop, Maya's mood became serious, she didn't know why, but she felt that asking this question was a bit necessary.
She looked at Aiden for a long time before saying this to him, "Aiden, I know that you are a good guy, but let me ask you something, are you serious about this relationship? That is IF we ever get together..." She took a break, and continued, "Because I-I don't think that I can do it… And I don't want to waste your time."
