Laina blinked, she had not considered that before. She stopped in her tracks and nervously bit her lip as her eyes darted away from his.
"Well… I…" she thought hard for a moment, "It was a really generous gift and I wanted to return it to you in person to show my gratitude for your kind gesture."
Seeing that he's caught on to her, Dante could not let the opportunity go. He inquired further, "So there was no other reason?"
He moved closer towards Laina. Now, he was only inches away from her. Laina still refused to look at him. She could feel his gaze upon her even without looking. It was making her increasingly nervous.
Even her palms began to sweat.
"Ah nope. No other reason, haha…" she laughed nervously, " I should get going now."
