One Meet By Chance

Enrique's lips twitched up into a gentle smile.

"You don't have to compensate me." He shrugged. "But if you really want it, there is something you can do for me."

"Well, what is it?" Teresa urged, furrowing her eyebrows.

She didn't get him. She'd just offered to pay for his extremely expensive shirt, and he just outright refused her.

Was money really nothing for him?

Enrique tilted his head and thought for a moment. After a few seconds, he finally responded, "How about this? You can promise me one thing. As long as you fulfill it, you won't have to pay for the shirt. How about that?"

Although he looked extremely harmless, she still needed to be alert.

Her eyes narrowed. "Promise you what?"

Enrique only smiled. "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I got it, all right?"

"But..."

"Miss Gu, you shouldn't worry about it. It's only just to put your mind at ease."

He waved his hand dismissively. Teresa blinked, trying to see the expression on his face. Seeing as he meant nothing about it, she nodded. "It's a deal then."

The car finally arrived at the hotel Teresa booked.

After saying her farewell to Enrique, Teresa went upstairs with the room card she'd gotten from the front desk.

As she entered the elevator, a thought suddenly occurred to her. She returned to her hometown for the jewelry design competition and she'd leave a few days later. Maybe they'd never have the chance to meet again, seeing as they didn't have each other's number.

As for the deal...

Teresa shrugged it off. It was not as if he'd travel across the world to find her.

It seemed she was smart enough to agree with him on that at least.

She snorted.
