It turned out that everything Selina told her was true. She had thought it was all a joke. Although she liked Kyi in very much, she had never thought about him this way. Now that Kylin had expressed his intentions, she didn't know what to do.
"Yesseca, let's have dinner together. I chose a restaurant you like." Kylin persuaded.
Yesseca immediately rejected his invitation, "I'm... I'm going home for dinner."
"Did you mean to invite me to your house for dinner?" Kylin asked while looking at with a smile on his face.
Yesseca was quiet.
She shook her head. "I... I didn't mean that."
The smile on Kylin's lips widened. "Then come with with me to the restaurant for dinner, unless you want to invite me over to your house instead."
There was a silence.
Yesseca realized that she had been tricked.
Because Kylin had fed her the illusion of choice, the illusion that she only had two choices.
To invite Kylin over to her home or to have dinner at a restaurant together.
Of course, she chose the second option.
It wasn't until she arrived at the restaurant that she realized there was a third choice.
She wouldn't have to invite Kyi in to have dinner at her home, nor did she have to go to the restaurant with him.
But since she was already there, she had to bite the bullet and walk in.
The waiter brought over the menus.
Kyi in passed one over to Yesseca.
Yesseca handed it back. "You order."
Kyi in nodded.
When he made his order, he saw Yesseca sitting with her head hung low. Her long eyelashes trembled and her body was tense.
Kyi in lowered his voice. "Yesseca, there's no need to be nervous. We're just friends, just like before."
Yesseca was about to cry. "But we can't be friends anymore."
Since Kylin had already confessed to her, how could she just treat Kylin as a regular friend?
Kylin continued gently, "Yesseca, it's my decision to pursue you. If you treat me just like an ordinary friend, I'll just be an ordinary friend in your heart, unless..."
Kylin left the sentence hanging.
Yesseca was stunned for a moment before realization finally dawned on her.
Yes, it was as Kylin said, it wasn't that difficult.
Kylin gave her roses at the entrance of the mall earlier, but she refused them. Kylin then placed the roses back into his car.
If she treated Kylin as an ordinary friend, what did she have to be nervous about?
As she thought this, Yesseca finally relaxed.
During their meal, Kylin asked, "Yesseca, do you have anyone you like right now?"
This question startled Yesseca.
Just as Kylin asked this question, a familiar face immediately appeared in Yesseca's mind.
His smooth, fair face with that sharp jaw and cool demeanor. His dark, deep eyes, those thick eyebrows, that tall and straight nose of his and his beautiful lips, all of them were flamboyantly elegant.
It was Tremaine's face.
Yesseca was stunned at herself.
God, was she possessed? Why was she thinking about Tremaine?
