Lucy gaped at Cillian without blinking. “Cillian, what makes you believe in me?
“Even I don’t have much confidence in myself.”
Cillian smiled sheepishly. “That’s because you were part of the culture committee when you were a freshman. You did a great job organizing events and large-scale plays. I’m certain that you’ll be able to achieve that.”
A warm feeling washed over her heart. Although it felt like blind trust, his trust in her brought her great comfort.
She mustered up her confidence. “Okay, I’ll work hard to live up to your trust in me.”
Cillian shook his head. “No, Lucy. You should work hard for the people you love.”
A tinge of bitterness welled up in his heart as he thought, ‘Don’t do that to me, Lucy. It’s heartbreaking…’
Lucy remained oblivious.
“You’re right!”
The gloom on Lucy’s face was swept away. “Thank you. Your advice made me feel much better. I’ll try my best to catch up to him and become a woman who's worthy of being by his side.”
Cillian’s smile remained unchanged, but it somehow looked like a mask on his face.
“Yup…”
With her newfound motivation, she could not wait to go back to her company and start grinding. She was not even in the mood to eat the food in front of her.
“I’ll be heading back now. There’s no time to waste.”
Cillian’s eyes betrayed feelings of disappointment. “Okay, drive safe. Remember to carry an umbrella with you so that you won't get wet again.”
Lucy nodded and left.
Cillian felt his heart aching until Lucy turned around again as if she had forgotten something.
“By the way, Cillian, I don’t think I have your number. What’s your WhatsApp number? I’ll contact you after I wash your handkerchief.”
