Evelyn's heart skipped a beat. Just a moment before, she had been relaxed. But the sudden question of Lawrence made her nervous again.
Finally, it was the time.
She secretly took a deep breath and slightly clenched her fists as if it would bring her more courage.
Seeing that Evelyn lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time, Lawrence asked, "Evelyn?"
"Yes." Evelyn replied and then looked up.
She looked straight at Lawrence, then slowly began to smile.
Seeing it, Lawrence could help but feeling his heart beat faster immediately.
He held his breath and looked at Evelyn, waiting for her to speak.
Maybe it really would be the answer he dreamed of.
"Lawrence."
Lawrence nodded, "Yes?"
"Well...." Evelyn pursed her lips. But Lawrence's careful and hopeful look made her relaxed.
He should know what she was going to say, shouldn't he?
Perhaps he still didn't know what her answer was, but he should know that it was about that.
How he looked at the moment was goofy and cute.
"About the thing you said that day... I have thought about it..."
Lawrence's Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Hm... so?"
"The reason why I'm here today is to tell you that I'm determined to..."
"I'm sorry to disturb you." Before Evelyn could finish, the waiter walked over with Lawrence's phone. "Sir, your phone rang. When I heard it, it was cut off. But it rang again. I'm thinking whether you have anything urgent."
Then the waiter handed the phone to Lawrence.
Lawrence took it over and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After the waiter left, Lawrence turned to Evelyn and said, "It's fine. Go ahead."
Evelyn cleared her throat and said, "Why don't you see who called you first in case it really was something urgent?"
Lawrence thought about it for a moment, then nodded. He looked at the missed calls, then frowned slightly.
"Something urgent, right?" Evelyn asked.
Lawrence said, "It's fine. I'll go back later. Please go on."
As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, his phone rang again.
Evelyn said, "Feel free to answer it. We can talk about it later."
Lawrence thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take the call first."
"Sure."
A few minutes later, Lawrence returned. His expression was no longer as relaxed as it had been.
"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Lawrence sat down. "Well. An order went wrong. I have to deal with it. I missed the call just now. Well... I may need to go back and settle it now."
"Oh." Evelyn said, "Of course."
