"Uh..." Nina Morrison could not look him in the eye. She has to change the subject and says, "Lucien, what did you just buy?"
"What did you just call me?" Lucien Gray's eyes suddenly light up.
Nina Morrison has always called him "Hey" or ironically "President Gray". For the first time, Nina Morrison calls him by name.
"I..." Nina Morrison gets a little spooked by Lucien Gray's eyes. She keeps her head down and can't speak with guilty.
Damn it! Why would she be guilty? Why does she feel like meeting her adulterer and being caught in bed?
Lucien Gray thinks she is shy and he is in a good mood to see Nina Morrison being shy.
Fondly kneading her hair, Lucien Gray takes her into his arms and hugs her tightly.
Nina Morrison is forced to lean against his chest...
Lucien Gray's heart beats strongly and powerfully. It is so calm like the safest haven in the world. Nina's heart touched slightly and her aversion to Lucien Gray seems less intense. Her sadness even slowly goes down.
For the first time, Nina Morrison feels Lucien Gray's arms are so warm that she forgets all the cold.
People come and go. A lot of people around them look at them curiously.
