Glenna had just realized that Declan was really waiting for her downstairs. She could not bear to go
through the reports anymore because she could not figure out Declan’s goal in coming here.
‘He’s not going to choose to let Deirdre find out the truth, nor is he going to change anything. Is he here
to convince me, then? Am I really that important?’
At that thought, Glenna patted her face and suppressed the ineffable feeling in her chest. She headed
to the restroom to wash her face.
It was already time to get off work by the time she returned to the office. A group of colleagues were
discussing the dinner location and asked for Glenna’s opinion.
She shook her head and said, “Count me out. I still didn’t get around to amending the project, so I’m
going to put in the extra hours for a while. You guys can go ahead”
‘You shouldn’t trouble yourself too much either. If you really can’t finish it, you can do it tomorrow
morning. We will only need to hand it in next week anyway, so there is no rush.”
“Hmm.” Glenna smiled. She just wanted to hide from Declan.
When everyone else had left, she amended and saved the documents that she had managed to go
through, and by the time she got up, it was already dark outside.
Glenna put on her coat and got into the elevator head downstairs. She got out of the elevator and saw
the man at the lobby’s entrance at one glance. He was dressed in a suit and had a tall, slender figure.
His fingers were frozen pink, and the cold-toned complexion of his delicate facial features was stained
red from the cold. She could see it clearly.
Declan stood upright when he saw Glenna. “You’re here, just in time. We can head to dinner right
away. It’s just that the dessert that I got you has already gotten cold.”
Glenna’s lips were trembling, and she was having a hard time speaking. Declan said smilingly, You’re
not going to go back on your word after promising me, right?”
In the end, Glenna did not decline his dinner invitation. They headed to a restaurant nearby, and as
soon as they sat down, Declan unboxed the dessert and asked, “Would you like to try this? I heard this
is their most recommended dessert, and it was already the last piece left when I arrived.”
Declan pushed the dessert to Glenna, but she did not accept it. On the contrary, she raised her head
and asked, “Can you tell me now that there’s no one else here, Mr. King?”
“Tell you what?” Declan lay back on the seat, his interest piqued. He continued to smile and said, “I’ve
never shared a meal with you with just the two of us, even after being acquainted with you for so long. I
want to seize the opportunity when I’m free to ask you out for a meal. That should not be something
that is especially hard to understand, right?”
Glenna found it cynical.
If this incident had never happened, she would have been so delighted that her hands would shake if
Declan were to wait for her and ask her out to have a meal with just the two of them.
“Mr. King, I’m a person who is very fond of good-looking people. I will always form the first impression
of someone based on their looks. Hence, I was under the assumption that you were always a gentle,
considerate, and kind gentleman.
Declan raised his gaze in surprise. “So, you’re saying that I’m not anymore?” You still are.”
Declan cracked a smile. “It sounds rather self-contradictory.” He did not put the topic of conversation to
rest for a long time, but he announced his goal, “Glenna, I know that you are greatly displeased with
me because of that incident. I would like to explain to you the relationship between Brendan and
Deirdre. It’s definitely not as simple as you may have imagined. We, as outsiders, can’t get involved
and even less intervene in their relationship. I hope that you can understand that.”
“I can’t understand…” Glenna shook her head. “I know that I’d never be able to accept being deceived
like this if it were me.”
“However, you’re still choosing to keep quiet, just like us.” Declan enunciated his words clearly when he
said, “Hence, you must know that it’s cruel to reveal the truth to Deirdre.”
“That is only because you’ve already weaved a web of lies and, in turn, forced me to have no choice
but to keep it hidden with you!” Glenna came to realize something in the midst of chaos, her eyes
glistening.
“So, your goal of waiting for me is so I can accept the truth?”
