This is why she couldn’t help but like him more and more.
What should I do?
She had fallen so deeply into his trap that she couldn’t escape.
No matter how many times she repeated ‘What should I do?’ no one could give her an answer, making it a futile exercise, but Lola whispered the same words to herself several times.
Dylan appeared at the rib house ten minutes later.
As soon as Lola saw him enter through the door, she excitedly waved her hand.
“Dear, over here!”
Recognizing Lola, Dylan strode over and sat down across from her. Lola handed him the menu and said,
“Dear, order whatever you want. I’ll treat you today.”
Instead of quickly taking the menu from Lola, Dylan looked at her with piercing eyes and asked directly.
“What happened to you?”
“Dear seems to have been very busy today. I didn’t hear from you all day.”
“Don’t change the subject.”
He was quite perceptive.
What on earth could this man not do? Was there anything he couldn’t do?
He was handsome, made good money, was capable, and was a genius.
As Lola took her time to respond, Dylan raised one eyebrow.
“Are you not going to answer?”
“Ah, actually… I met someone.”
Now that she thought about it, she had dressed up nicely and put on pretty makeup, unlike usual.
But who did she meet at this late hour?
Since the subject was omitted, Dylan was curious about the identity of the person Lola met, but he didn’t ask right away.
He wanted to know right now, but he decided to ask slowly after feeding her.
Ah, not just food, but delicious and nutritious meat.
Dylan quickly scanned the menu with his eyes and called the waiter to order three servings of Beef with fried rice. It was a bit too much for just the two of them, but he didn’t mind at all.
He wanted to make sure she ate a lot since she hadn’t had dinner yet.
******
Lola barely touched her food, constantly stealing glances at Dylan’s face.
Even though she was hungry from not having dinner due to meeting Aliza, just looking at this man made her feel inexplicably good, and she already felt full.
Receiving his texts brought her comfort, hearing his voice made her miss him, and seeing his face brought her peace of mind.
Ah, I really can’t help myself.
“Why aren’t you eating? Should I feed you?”
Lola snapped out of her thoughts at Dylan’s words and hurriedly waved her hands.
“Ah, no. I-I’ll eat.”
“Hurry up and eat.”
Lola seemed a bit off. Yet, not knowing the reason, her frustration grew as time passed, but Dylan didn’t ask any questions until the meal was over.
Finally, as the meal was nearing its end, Dylan asked in a low but sharp voice.
“Who did you meet today?”
Since they had been quietly eating until now, he thought he wouldn’t ask again.
After a moment of thought, Lola replied.
“I met a girl who shows interest in you.”
“A girl who shows interest in me? So who is it?”
Since the subject was still unclear, Dylan felt frustrated.
“I guess there are more than a few girls who show interest in you?”
So she hadn’t realized who that girl was.
Thinking about how there were more than a few girls interested in Dylan Eve made Lola feel irritated. Without realizing it, her tone became prickly.
“What?”
Dylan’s eyebrows raised slightly at Lola’s somewhat absurd statement.
“It doesn’t matter how many girls there are. From now on, I’m not going to avoid them and will deal with them one by one.”
“I want to know more about who you met and what you talked about.”
For some reason, their conversation seemed to be going off track, so Dylan precisely pointed out the main point.
“I met Aliza.”
“Aliza? Why did you meet her?”
His voice was mixed with worry and irritation. He seemed very surprised by the unexpected name that popped up.
Lola took a deep breath and calmly explained.
“Aliza contacted me first to meet. I thought I should meet her at least once. So I did.”
“Okay. What did you talk about when you met Aliza?”
Worried that Aliza might have done something to Lola, Dylan asked while carefully examining her face.
“She said I don’t match with you, and that a girl like me can’t do anything for a guy like you, and she even kindly gave me advice. Aliza.”
Recalling Aliza’s mocking words, Lola frowned. Dylan subtly furrowed his brows.
“So you just stayed quiet?”
“No…”
Lola summarized the conversation she had with Aliza as briefly as possible.
After hearing Lola’s story, Dylan seemed a bit taken aback by her bold response and was momentarily speechless.
