Bella said nothing and chuckled with a blush.
Her colleagues asked no more but continued their work.
Instead of leaving after work, Bella stayed in the office and waited for Charlie to pick her up.
Charlie came soon, and then she got in the car.
Then they went to the cinema.
When they picked the film, Bella looked at other couples enviously. She grew bolder and told Charlie she wanted popcorn and coke.
"You want popcorn and coke?" Charlie asked in a frown.
Bella nodded and then said, "I'll go buy them."
When they were face-to-face, she dared not speak boldly as she did on her phone.
Charlie stopped her, asked her to pick a movie she was interested in, and then left.
Bella watched his figure disappear into the crowd.
He was tall, and his carriage was extraordinarily graceful. Actually, Bella was glowing and felt warm with delight that he could do it for her.
When it came to men, women sometimes had a sense of pride and competition.
Charlie had an extraordinary appearance, a sinewy body, and an unusual status in Santabaca. In the eyes of all women, he was a perfect lover.
Bella, of course, was proud to be the girlfriend of such a perfect man.
She bought the tickets and stood there waiting for him.
