I lowered my head and murmured, "In my opinion, you are my best friend. I don’t want to ruin our friendship because of something."
As I spoke, I raised my head and looked straight at Louie without any hesitation.
In my heart, I hoped that he could understand my good intentions. At least in my opinion, being friends now was the best result for us.
But this is only my idea, not his.
"You have your persistence, and I have my principles," Louie said in a low voice.
This was the last sentence he said to me face to face. After that, he got up and went to the kitchen. I sat on the sofa and felt unprecedentedly tired, as if I could fall asleep as soon as I lay down. I didn't think much and just let Louie do his work in the kitchen and lay down alone.
When I woke up again, I was too hungry. The smell of rice came from the tip of my nose. I got up from the sofa because of hunger and sleep.
"Let's wash our hands and get ready for dinner."
As soon as I got up, I heard Louie's voice. When I looked up, I saw him carrying things to the dining table.
I moved closer and looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table. I said in shock, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be no so many dishes at home, right?"
"No, I ordered it online," he replied with a smile.
Looking at Louie in a suit, who was meticulously dressed in front of outsiders, and now wearing my pink white rabbit apron, he didn't seem to be at odds with it at all. But this was the most important thing. Why was he not at odds with it when he was wearing my apron?
After washing her hands and sitting at the dining table, she remembered to ask, "Is it noon?"
Louie paused for a moment and then looked at me with a smile. "In this way, it proves that you did sleep very well just now. You don't remember the time. It's already over five o'clock in the afternoon. You can basically call this meal dinner."
"What?” I asked in surprise.
She felt like she had only slept for a while, but she didn't expect that it was already late at night when she woke up. How sleepy was she to sleep like this?
During the meal, he kept picking up food for me, but I had been focusing on the property ownership certificate, so I was not in the mood to care about food. I was afraid that if you asked me to eat steamed buns and salty vegetables now, I might not have any reaction.
"There is one thing I have to admit. For a person like me who pays attention to food, my current state is not good at all."
Probably because I saw that I was out of my mind, Louie insisted on washing dishes after dinner and said that I could go back early after packing up. I was in no mood to argue with him, so I just let him do it.
Thinking about it, if the colleagues in the company saw Louie working hard in my house, they didn't know how shocked their young minds would be.
When he went back, I saw him off and accidentally found that the bloody handprint on the wall was gone. It could be said that there was no trace at all. I couldn't help wondering if I was dreaming before. Was what happened last night fake? Was it my dream?
"I got someone to clean it up," Louie said.
Looking at Louie's smiling face, I wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. I could only say in a low voice, "Thank you."
"You can call me as soon as possible if you need anything. I won't back down as long as I can help you."
