Fanny felt a tingling sensation on her scalp as an inner voice grumbled, "Why do I keep running into him?!"
Although she wasn't exactly thrilled, she lifted her head and greeted him honestly, "Hey, Uncle Sinclair."
Sinclair was dressed in his signature black shirt with dark trousers, an unchanging ensemble. Yet, for some reason, every time Fanny saw him, it felt like the first time all over again.
"Are you here for something?" Sinclair repeated the question she hadn't answered before.
Fanny shook her head, "No, it's my friend who's here."
"Do you need help?" Sinclair asked directly.
She pondered for a moment. Her friend Felicia really did need help getting out, and if she asked Sinclair, he probably could assist, considering Felicia hadn't done anything wrong.
But since Felicia had asked her to find Shirley, there was no need to bother Sinclair with this, "No, thank you, Uncle Sinclair."
Sinclair hummed softly from his throat, "Are you off today?"
"Yeah," Fanny regretted her response immediately, sensing what Sinclair might say next.
After all, she knew Sinclair was not one to beat around the bush.
Sure enough, Sinclair asked the next second, "How about we grab some lunch together, then?"
The last thing she wanted was to be alone with him. Ever since the incident where they saw more of each other than they should have, things had changed between Fanny and him.
"No, thanks, I have other things to take care of," Fanny declined.
"I have something to ask you, to talk about," Sinclair rejected her rejection.
Fanny looked at him, and Sinclair added, "It won't take much of your time, and besides, you need to have lunch anyway."
Right, it was precisely noon. Talk about impeccable timing, as if fate had decided to play matchmaker.
