"HELLO," Lance greeted with a smile. "You must be Yujin and Astrid. I'm Lance. Let's do our best today."
"Hello, Mr. Reid," the two greeted almost at the same time.
"Don't be so formal. I will feel too old if you continue calling me 'Mr.'," Lance said with a playful tone and smile. "Just call me 'Lance'."
Astrid secretly observed the other. There was nothing wrong with Lance Reid's tone of voice. Even the other's smile was just normal and not as fishy as he expected. Of course, this didn't mean that he would put his guard down.
Maybe this guy just wanted to loosen their defenses and then attack once they're vulnerable. He knew he's being too judgmental. But that's certainly better than being careless. Especially when the person in question had that kind of history.
"Then we will do so, Lance," Astrid said with a polite smile.
It's better to play along for now. Showing that their different would only attract the other's attention more.
