"I wish I could be there with you and Dax. But I won't be able to, as I can't cancel this business trip..." He continues.
"Oh, come on, Tristan," Bella chuckled when she heard his gloomy tone. "I find it amusing to hear you say those words. In the past, you were always on your business trips and never had time for me."
She tried to tease him so he wouldn't feel annoyed, but it turned out that her efforts actually made Tristan even more sad.
"I feel like I need to beat my past self. I can't believe I ignored someone as beautiful, graceful, kind, and intelligent as you, Bella..."
Her face flushed with redness after hearing such a sweet word from Tristan's mouth.
'Geez! Did I give him the wrong signal? Why did he start flirting out of the blue?'
"Tristan, thank you so much." She sincerely said, ignoring the questions echoing in her mind.
"For what?"
