The smile faded from Angel's lips and she felt a lump filling her throat and bitterness was clearly visible in her eyes, she remained silent without uttering a single word.
meanwhile Mark looked at her with remorse and he blamed himself for what he said. The moment she shook her head and looked at her feet he heard her saying that : "How will I go to her? Will I go up to her with those disabled legs?"
Mark tried to fix what he had said and said with fake cheerfulness: "I meant to carry you to the second floor."
Angel raised her head to look at him in bewilderment and then her cheeks quickly turned as red as a tomato and her tongue stopped speaking. Mark said with a smile, as he was pleased that her sadness had changed in this way, he leaned towards her teasingly : "I was just joking."
He added, winking with his eyes: "But if you ask me to do so, I wouldn't mind."
Angel's cheeks became flushed and she felt her heart beating with strange force and speed. she raised her head to Mark only to see him climbing the stairs and whistled softly from between his lips as if he did nothing at all, as if he didn't ignite her feelings towards him, as if he wasn't intending to get close to her.
If Mark was an irresponsible guy, as Olivia says. why does he care so much about me? Why is he the only one who is affectionate with me? Why is he the only one I am attracted to? Is he my destiny? Is it fate that I am attracted to him?
Before she could continue with her thoughts, she saw Olivia hurriedly descending the stairs and said, smiling cheerfully: "What is this? Angel herself who is asking to see me and she is waiting for me too."
Angel smiled and said: "I heard that you didn't go to university today, so I thought i could have breakfast with you."
Olivia said with a wide smile as she approached her: "Of course I will."
They both approached the dining table to sit facing each other and Olivia said inquiringly as she took a sip from the cup of tea in front of her: "When will your teacher be coming?"
Angel said with a smile: " she will come two hours from now."
Olivia said with a smile: "Then we have enough time to talk together."
Angel nodded her head and said as she took a bite from her plate: "Sure."
Olivia said as she looked at Angel: "Actually, Angel. I'm glad you've moved from your introversion a little and began to share the conversation with us."
A smile appeared on Angel's lips and she said: "I was withdrawn into myself when I didn't see anyone who cared about me but when I found this interest from you I decided to open up and start conversing with you."
Olivia said slyly: "Who among us do you mean?Who did you see interest from? "
Angel was flustered despite herself and said in a stammering voice: "You, uncle, and all my cousins."
Olivia said with a calm smile: "I don't think Liam cares about anyone."
She went on to say suddenly: "oh right, I forgot to tell you."
Angel with puzzlement said: "What?"
"There will be a party tomorrow at our house. My father used to hold such parties whenever he succeeded in a deal in his company. So you have to prepare something to wear."
Angel said, raising her eyebrows in astonishment: "I didn't bring anything suitable for these parties. I didn't think that I would need to wear a dress for parties at my uncle's house."
Olivia said quickly: "Let's see what clothes you brought with you, maybe one of them might be suitable for this party."
Angel shook her head in denial and said: "I don't think so."
Olivia thought for a moment and said: "If necessary, we will go to one of the mall's and buy you what you need."
(Then I'll drive you both there)
They both turned to the speaker in astonishment. Their surprise increased when they saw Mark crossing his arms in front of his chest and a smile on his lips. Olivia said, looking at him: "What do you want? We'll tell the driver so he can take us there."
Mark approached closer and pulled the closest seat to him, which was at the head of the table.that is, between Angel and Olivia and said: "Rather, I will drive you. what more do you want? Mark himself volunteers to take you to the mall."
Olivia said as she pursed her lips: "We don't want you to. Save your services for yourself."
