"Hmm... that's so thoughtful of you, but my mother doesn't accept gifts on the first meet," Lucian said and sensed the call going silent the next second.
"..."
'Huh! Did she cut the call already' he thought looking at the phone only to sigh since the call was still on.
"Ahem... Ari, are you there" he tried to act calm wondering if his words scared the poor girl. But that was the truth.
Kendal wasn't a person who would easily get impressed by gifts. She had very sharp eyes that could see through anyone's soul and after a thorough observation when she sensed the person was trustworthy enough, she would let her guard down, but just a little.
Ariana who went speechless listening to his words, suddenly got nervous. She didn't realize meeting someone would turn out to be this difficult.
