''That's why this is a part-time job. In our initial days, it was a privilege for us to have dreams. My brother has worked hard to get to where he is now, and mother had depression so he had to take care of both of us. So, while I was looking forward to a career in the food industry, at the same time, I didn't want to sit idly doing nothing so I studied these things. Luckily, they came in handy along the way.''
Shi Luo sighed, ''Did I just remind you of bitter days?"
Looking at her regretful expressions, he smiled and cupped her face, ''I don't think we can avoid the past. Moreover, I don't mind if you are the one asking about it.''
Her face started heating up under his intense gaze.
His arm tightened around her waist.
She could feel his muscles flexing against her back.
"Is something bothering you?" he asked while nuzzling the tip of his nose with hers.
