When Melissa heard a long pause from the other end of the phone call, she suddenly realized she was being too pushy.
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound overly eager.”
“Oh, it's fine,” Yandel quickly replied. “You can find me on WhatsApp using this phone number.”
“Really?” Melissa leaped in thrill. So it's not just me! He likes me too!
“Yeah. I'll be waiting.”
Yandel suddenly got goosebumps, but it was not like he had a choice. He was commissioned to do this, so he could only continue the awkward conversation.
He could not help but wonder how two siblings could be so different.
Meanwhile, Melissa was so engrossed in her happiness that she had no idea what Yandel was thinking.
After they ended the call, Melissa immediately added him on WhatsApp. When she saw that Yandel read her message immediately, she felt all fuzzy within.
“I'm sure he likes me. I will date him once he professes his love to me. Wait, should I play hard-to-get?”
Melissa let her thoughts run wild. She did not sense her mother walking into her room.
“Melissa, who are you talking about? Is it Yandel Moss of Dream Corporation?” Yvonne heard everything she said.
Melissa jumped the moment she heard someone's voice. “Mom! What are you doing here?”
“Answer me.”
“Yes...” she said softly. “Mom, I know what I felt. I'm sure he has feelings for me too.”
Yvonne was way more experienced and careful than Melissa.
“Tell me what happened.”
Melissa told her everything from the start. A smile gradually curved on Yvonne's lips as she listened to her daughter, but she was not aware that Melissa was recounting the whole encounter through rose-tinted glasses.
