“Amanda, I like you! I know this might seem sudden, but I can’t keep it in anymore. So I’m saying it now- will you be my girlfriend?”

The light hit the dew on the rose petals, making his eyes shine with extra seriousness.

But staring at him, I felt nothing, not even a tiny spark. Honestly, the whole thing just felt ridiculous.

I pursed my lips and tested him. “You’re kidding, right? It’s not April Fool’s. This isn’t funny.”

“Amanda, I’m serious. I really like you. Please, just give me a chance. Let me take care of you.” Derrick’s voice rushed out, shaky and tense, like he was scared I’d turn him down.

But I knew exactly what kind of “liking” that was.

He’d seen my face without makeup, probably got shocked, and mistook that moment of attraction for real feelings. That wasn’t love-it was just impulse.

Besides, I barely knew him. Who knew what he was actually like? A random confession like that only made me want to get out of there fast.

“Sorry, I think you misunderstood.” I pursed my lips, stood up, and turned toward the door. “I’ve got things to do. I’m leaving.”

“Amanda!” Derrick jumped up and blocked me, grabbing my wrist tight. “I mean it-I really like you. Please don’t reject me.”

His hand was warm on my skin, but I yanked free immediately, forging my voice to stay calm. “Sorry. This is too sudden, and I don’t feel that way about you. So the answer is no.”

I pushed past him and headed for the exit fast. I knew if I stayed any longer, he’d say something even

worse.

His footsteps followed close behind, and I broke into a run. My heart pounded as I bolted out of the

restaurant.

On the street, I waved for a taxi, still shaken.

Alice grumbled, “Unbelievable! Confessing like it’s a race and then grabbing your wrist? No respect at all. Good thing you ran, or who knows what he’d try next!”

“Exactly!” I muttered. “He scared me half to death. What’s wrong with him?”

I just wanted to have dinner and repay the favor. How did it turn into that mess?

A taxi stopped. I jumped in, told the driver to head for Ortega Castle, and fell the seat.

I could tell when someone truly liked me.

There was only urgency and a desperate need to win in Derrick’s eyes-no real warmth at all. That kind of “affection”? I neither wanted it nor dared to accept it.

When the car stopped at Ortega Castle, I paid and walked inside-only to bump into Samson coming

home.
