Lucien repeated, accepting the white napkin from Ajex, "Did you ever have a lover before?"
"Absolutely not," Ajex answers with one eyebrow raised.
"No wonder," she mumbles wiping her cheeks that had drool covered. 'How was I sleeping? I hope I didn't do anything stupid while I was sleeping.' The humiliation she receives was never going to end. 'Am I bad luck or everyone around me is giving me a jinx?'
"W-what?"
"I assume every lady must have rejected you on a first meet." Ajex's lips tightly went sealed. He had nothing to argue over what Lucien had just spoken. Even if he wanted to ask how she could assumed that, but no words came out.
