"You and I are not in the same circle, but I get along well with you!"
Eric was speechless.
Layla continued, "Will you look for a girlfriend once you've retired? Your parents must be worried to death."
"They are alright. They have passed the worrying phase."
"Then, what do you think? Are you against marriage?"
"I have no thoughts, maybe I might seriously think about it after I retire."
"Oh. So you're not against marriage. People who are against marriage are very firm in their beliefs."
Eric's phone rang. It was from his manager.
"Layla, I have to go." Eric hung up the call and said to Layla, "I'll ask your mother out as well once I'm free. We can have a meal together."
"Okay then! Go! Put on your mask and stay safe!" Layla placed her utensils down. She wanted to send him off.
"Just eat! You don't have to send me off." Eric put on his mask and left the restaurant with his bodyguard.
Layla watched as his figure vanished into the distance. She slowly drifted back to reality.
Although Eric was in his forties, he had maintained his body, and he looked handsome. He was completely different from other men in their forties.
Layla had not seen Eric for some time because of her studies and work. Meeting him again brought out all her feelings of admiration and adoration.
