"But I'm not familiar with your friends. I'm afraid I won't get along with them," replied Kevin, frowning slightly. He didn't like parties a lot. That kind of social activities were never his cup of tea. So even unconsciously, he wanted to refuse her.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine. They're about the same age as you. I'm sure you'll get along well with each other. And they're very easy-going too," said Louisa urgently. Though she knew he was married, she still couldn't let go of him easily. So she would take any chance she could to approach him.
"Okay then. I'll get changed at home. Tell me where and when the party is and I'll be there," said Kevin, finally accepting her invitation. Kevin didn't know how to reject this. He was such an honest man that he couldn't find any excuse not to accompany her.
"I think I'll catch a ride back with you. So we don't need to wait for each other again," suggested Louisa. But what she really wanted was to go home with him and take a look at his wife that he had mentioned before. She knew his wife was still in Paris, but there should be at least a photo of her in their home. Louisa wanted to know what his wife looked like and whether she looked better than her.
"But don't you need to get changed?" asked Kevin confusingly. He took a closer look at Louisa's clothes. Didn't she say they were going to a dinner party? Wasn't she dressed too casual?
"Of course I need to! I'll go directly to the stylist later. He'll finish everything for me. That's why I need the ride to your home with you first, so that we can drive your car to the party later. You know, girls who are dressed up can't drive, so I won't be driving once I get changed. I'll have to ask you another favor-- to be my driver tonight too," explained Louisa. She found that he was so handsome whether he was in his military uniform or just some casual clothes. She couldn't imagine how gorgeous he would look once he changed into a suit. The image of Kevin in different clothes kept flashing through her head. He was such a gentleman, and so elegant.
"That much trouble?" asked Kevin, frowning deeply and feeling a little restless. He remembered when he and Leena had attended the anniversary celebration party of FX International Group, it hadn't been so complicated like this event. Leena had prepared everything herself and there hadn't been a stylist or something this troublesome.
"All right, Kevin, shall we go now? I might as well take this opportunity to drop by your apartment and memorize your address. Otherwise, we've been so familiar with each other, but I still have no idea where you live," replied Louisa, smiling. Then she opened the door and climbed into his car. She had worked so hard to finally get such a chance to visit his apartment. How could she give up now?
