Ivana Bennett took the drink from the servant, thanked him, and glanced at her wristwatch.
Unknowingly, it was already past five in the afternoon.
Had she really been toying with him for hours?
Lucas Walker glanced aside and asked, "When are you giving me my kiss back?"
"Don't worry, I'm definitely going to return it to you." Ivana replied absentmindedly, taking a sip of her drink, "By the way, there's a masquerade ball tonight, do you want to attend?"
"Not interested." Lucas Walker answered, sounding unenthusiastic.
Not interested isn't going to work, you absolutely must attend!
Ivana twirled the straw in her drink, "What if I attend?"
Lucas Walker leaned on the wooden table, his arms crossed, as he gazed into her eyes, "You want me to attend?"
Ivana toyed with her straw for a while before finally looking up at Lucas Walker.
