The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 89

The room for imagination just blew up as soon as the door shut.

Theo lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke against the wall, letting it swirl around.

Electronic music and ambient lights were all mashed up inside the room, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere.

"Ellinor, got any job plans after graduation?"

Even though they were pretty close, Moran still had to raise his voice for people around him to catch his words.

Upon hearing Moran's question, Ellinor straightened herself up and replied loudly, "Still figuring it out! But Moran, aren’t you supposed to be in school right now. What brings you here?"

Moran pursed his lips shyly, "Well, a few friends of mine who are graduating this year invited me."

Ellinor nodded, indicating she got it.

But in reality, Moran came explicitly for her. Once Ellinor graduated, it would be harder for him to see her. He had been crushing on Ellinor for three years, ever since he saw her during first year, and his feelings never wavered. That morning, he finally worked up the courage to confess his feelings but was gently rejected by Ellinor. He didn’t give up ,though. As long as Ellinor was still single, he had a shot!

"Ellinor, let's have a toast! No matter what job you choose in the future, I'll always strive to learn from you!" Moran picked up two glasses of wine, handing one to Ellinor.

Ellinor took the beautiful cocktail, smiling, "No need to learn from me. You should strive for yourself. You got this!"

The loud electronic music drowned out the clinking of glasses.

Ellinor raised her glass with a smile, but before she could even take a sip of the sweet liquor, a slender hand suddenly reached out and took her glass away.
