My chest kept pounding, and as I thought of what to say, I couldn't find anything else to do other than respond honestly.
"Yes. I am Lewis Griffith." A gulp escaped my mouth and I tightly shut my eyes the moment I was done.
'Shit. What am I doing?!'
The atmosphere was awkward as heck, and I had never been so anxious in my life as Jared Leonard.
'Telling Maria how I feel is one thing… but also telling her I'm an old man, that's crazy!'
I had ultimately done the one thing I was trying to avoid.
'Shit! Shit! Shit!'
While I was cursing within myself, it became my turn. The moment it came, I already knew what I was going to ask.
"How did you find out, that I'm Lewis Griffith?"
My mind was swarming with possibilities, but it was better to ask the source herself, wasn't it?
So, I waited in anxiety and suspense, as Maria parted her lips and spoke.
"I wasn't actually the one who found out. It was… Ana…"
'Uh?! Ana?! How in the world did she—?!'
