"You're so right, it really works!" Aka wiped off the paint and then looked up at him with a big smile. After being at such odds for so long, seeing her unguarded smile made Zoel feel as if he was seeing her from a previous life.
Actually, when they first met, though the girl was kind of silly and even came up with that devastating nickname for him, she smiled at him quite sincerely, just like she was doing now.
Zoel haughtily snorted, "Nonsense, Mr. Zoel never does anything if he's not sure of it. Hurry up, we're about to get on the highway and I'll need to speed up."
"Yeah, hurry, let's go save Mrs. Kiara together!"
With this little favor received, Aka didn't find Zoel as repulsive anymore, though she didn't like him much more than before, that is.
The car headed towards Linville, and by this time it was getting dark. Kiara returned from the market laden with bags, holding a dog leash in one hand and a basket with a cabbage inside in her mouth.
