However, Karen still did not have the courage.
She needed a little bit more.
"You'd better go first. I have something else to do."
Please give me some time to accept your invitation.
On the other end of the phone, there was silence again. After a long time, Karen heard Kevin responded,
"Okay."
Karen breathed a sigh of relief. After a few words with Kevin, they hung up the phone.
It was 11:30 a.m. and her colleagues were ready to go out for lunch.
Karen put down the phone in her hand and began to pack her things, ready to go out.
Karen was focusing on tidying her stuff, so she did not see Kevin outside.
The office of the Innovative Tech used glass compartments mostly, so the insides of the office could be seen clearly from the outside. At this time, Kevin stood outside the business department. He quietly looked at Karen.
He had been standing here for a long time. Looking at Karen sitting in the office with her head lowered, her expression changed abruptly, so he thought to himself, "What's in her mind? Does it have anything to do with me?"
He, for some reason, took out his mobile phone and dialed her number.
She was flustered at first, then blushed, and then smiled.
He had seen a lot of beautiful women in his life, many of whom were more beautiful than Karen. But Karen was the most beautiful one with the brightest smile. No one would ever compare. For a moment, he nearly lost himself in her smile.
Kevin wanted to keep this smile for himself, and he wanted to tell everyone that she was his.
He asked her out of courtesy.
Outside the glass, he saw her hesitation.
Suddenly, he felt a little upset.
She refused him, refused to show their relationship to the world.
He suddenly wanted to hold her hand regardless of everything and no longer want to stand by those strange promises, and loudly announce that she was his wife.
But he couldn't bear to put her in a dilemma.
So he said, "Okay."
Then, he saw her relieved look.
After finishing work, Amelia walked up to Kevin's side and asked, "Director Kyle, do you want to call your wife to go with you?"
In the office, Karen was still tidying.
Kevin watched in silence. After a while, he turned around and said to Amelia, "Let's go. We don't have to wait any longer."
When Karen arrived at the private room of the Baiha Restaurant, Kevin had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Kevin sitting elegantly in front of the window with his back straight.
He seemed to be looking at something. The sunlight outside the window highlighted his side profile beautifully, and his face looked even more good-looking.
Everything in front of her was like a picture, but somehow, Karen saw loneliness in the picture.
She wanted to go over and hug him tightly from behind very badly.
However, before Karen walked over, Kevin saw her.
He turned his face and said with a smile, "You're here."
The sunlight now highlighted the beauty of his eyes.
