Natalie was shocked to see a sudden huge figure appearing in front of her. She looked up and realized it was the man who sat by the window.
Up close, Natalie realized that he was even more good-looking.
His skin was fairer than hers and his eyelashes were long and voluminous.
He gave off a gentle aura that made people feel extra comfortable.
"Yes?" Natalie asked.
The man's eyes darted and he stared at Natalie. After a while, he moved his lips and said, "You look like an old friend of mine."
His voice was gentle.
Natalie was lost for words.
It was the cheesiest pick-up line she had ever heard!
Only men would use pickup lines to try to ask a woman out.
Natalie thought she had pretty distinct features, so she did not believe when the man told her she looked like his old friend.
Though the man before her was handsome and decent, he used such a dated way to ask her out. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Natalie blinked her eyes and said, "Mister, your pick-up line is too cheesy."
The man held his breath for a moment.
He looked at Natalie and said firmly, "Miss, you really remind me of an old friend of mine."
He looked dead serious that Natalie almost believed him.
She blinked, "You should try a different way to get girls. Also, I'm already married, so don't waste your time on me."
It was not Natalie's fault for being vain. She was considered beautiful and had been hit on by many guys. She was used to moves like this.
When she first entered college, one of her seniors tried to ask her out using the same method. He said she looked like his exgirlfriend from high school.
He even teared up as he told his story, as unfortunately, his ex- girlfriend died in an accident.
Natalie couldn't be more sympathetic back then.
Little did she know that Yvonne lived next to the guy.
Yvonne told Natalie that the boy was just saying nonsense to pursue her.
That guy didn't even have an ex-girlfriend, let alone his ex-girlfriend dying in an accident!
Natalie felt deceived. She couldn't help but ask about it when the guy approached her again.
The guy panicked.
He acted as if he was out of his mind and blurted, "Natalie, I was wrong. You don't look like my ex-girlfriend. You look like my mother." Natalie threw a fit after hearing what he said.
After that incident, Natalie would not fall for cheesy pick-up lines that easily again.
Even when Natalie said so, the man insisted, "Miss, I'm telling the truth. Can I have your name?"
Natalie's eye twitched.
He was asking for her name!
Her lips curved and said, "My name is Chloe Godfrey."
The man was stunned.
He then smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I've mistaken you for someone I know."
A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
This solemness left Natalie in a daze.
