In the midst of trying to pull the cigarette from Cecilia’s lips, some ash from the cigarette fell onto Noel’s hand.

The sudden burn made him reflexively shake the ash off, causing his facial features to scrunch up in discomfort.

“You’re so ugly,” Cecilia remarked bluntly, “I have no idea how I ever fell for someone like you.”

She even managed to blow smoke rings, causing Noel to cough once again.

A waiter approached them in the hallway, reminding Cecilia that smoking wasn’t allowed in this area.

Cecilia apologized, and changed direction towards the restroom. There was a window over there, but the corridor was narrow.

When Cecilia stood there, Noel had no space to stand. He had to press himself against the wall to look at her.

Cecilia smiled. “I can’t stand the sight of you, no matter how I look at you now.”

She didn’t give Noel a chance to speak.
