Being alone with Aaron was torturous enough for Annie, let alone being alone with him in such a suggestive setting!

“What are you doing? I thought we were just going to have a casual lunch,” said Annie with confusion.

Aaron, who sat across from her, looked even more charming under the candlelight. He rested his chin on his hand and said, “Yeah, we are. But who’s to say a casual lunch can’t be romantic too?”

Annie’s lips twitched. “I might’ve thought you were a very romantic guy if you treated me like this in the past. All I can think of now is how embarrassing and awkward this is.”
