When There Is Nothing Left But Love

For someone as attractive as Marcus, it was no surprise that she had eyes on him all the time.

“Thanks again for helping me out today, Mr. White. And thank you for dinner, as well.”

He had done quite a bit for me today. I couldn’t just keep quiet and not thank him for his deeds.

He frowned slightly and grunted indifferently at me in response. After that, he said nothing further.

Our meal was a very quiet affair, but it was not unexpected. After all, we were individuals who barely knew each other. Neither of us had much to say, to begin with, especially since he seemed like such a refined and elegant person. Marcus was attracting quite a bit of attention with his good looks as well.

Having noticed my movements, Marcus looked at me. In a low voice, he asked if I was full.

I nodded and smiled faintly at him.

He put down his cutlery as well and wiped his mouth clean in a graceful gesture. “Let’s go then.”

Marcus’s way of handling things made it difficult for me to find common ground. Even so, I realized that he was not cold or aloof, but rather, he radiated a certain calmness. He was the type who used that level-headedness to solve any conundrum.
