Finnley kept calm but wondered secretly. “What do you want?”
“Nothing.” Mya stood upright, blinking. “My fever was gone after I only took his medicine once. Don’t you think it’s really magical?”
“He’s a genius pharmacist.”
“Right. I want to make friends with a genius pharmacist.” Worship was written all over her eyes. “It seems he’s handsome, young, and talented.”
Finnley realized what she meant, wondering if she had a crush on Rowan.
Furrowing his brows slightly, Finnley looked at her weirdly, “You guys don’t fit.”
“Fit? Just making friends.” Mya didn’t mean that. “Just tell me. Are you willing to introduce or not?”
“No. I’m not willing,” Finnley answered without hesitation.
Mya was surprised, feeling a bit embarrassed. The next second, she returned to normal. “It’s alright. I’ll ask Ivan to introduce me to him.”
Finnley cast down his eyes and continued to read.
After darting at him, Mya felt bored. She suddenly asked, “Hey, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Do you know what respect is?” Finnley didn’t look at her, staring at his book. He added, “Sometimes, respect means you’ll never ask others about their privacy.”
Mya was rendered speechless.
“I’m not asking you for your privacy. Please don’t misunderstand me. Besides, why would I?” Mya explained hurriedly, “I... I’m curious. I wonder which woman can tolerate a man like you.”
Finnley looked at her again. “What about me? What kind of man am I?”
“A neat freak,” she remarked honestly. “You can always see hair in a house with a woman. It’s natural. Haven’t you lived with your mother before?”
Their eyes locked. After gazing at Mya for a few seconds, Finnley parted his lips. “It depends on whose hair it is.”
Mya felt slightly awkward. “You disdain me, don’t you?”
