Have I Told You Lately

Burring herself in Lillian’s arms for a long while, Rachel gradually calmed down. She rubbed her reddened eyes and looked at Lillian. Then she asked, “Lillian, how’s going with you and Mr. Barnes?”

Lillian was in a daze for a moment. She looked like a sensible mature woman earlier, but she blushed instantly now. She coughed awkwardly, pretending to be calm. She answered, “We’ve back to where we were. But he’ll take me along on all his business trips and he takes good care of me.”

Rachel was still listening with interest, but Lillian stopped.

Rachel blinked. “That’s all? Didn’t he confess his love to you? Even not a hint?”

Lillian looked at Rachel, her eyes dimmed. Curling her lips, Lillian shook her head and said, “Nope. He’s not talkative and always serious. I can’t figure out what’s on his mind at all.”

“Have you tried to sound him out?”

As if Rachel’s questions had reminded her about something, Lillian instantly rolled her eyes and said rudely, “Damn it! Of course, I have. I deliberately received a rose banquet from one of my admirers in the company, but he didn’t react anything. He also never mentions about it afterward.”

Rachel was speechless.

There were some ways that she could figure out, but Lillian was smarter, and she could think of more ways. If none of them worked, it seemed that all Lillian’s efforts would be in vain.

“So he hasn’t touched you again, has he?”

Upon hearing it, Lillian looked a bit weird, which made Rachel wonder if she felt lost or fortunate. Lillian shook her head obediently. “Since then, I don’t have guts to drink. Even in the business dinner, I’ll just drink a little, so I didn’t make the same mistake again. He also keeps good manners and distances himself from me.”

Rachel fell into the silence. She couldn’t understand what that man was doing. She had a feeling that he could control himself more than Kenneth could in love.
