Zachary glanced at her briefly. "Yes?"
"There’s a convenience store near my apartment," Sienna said. "It’s open twenty-four hours. They sell pretty good food, and I usually go there when I’m too lazy to cook."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sienna couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned about offering him convenience store food.
This man probably only ate at expensive restaurants without even looking at the prices.
’Geez, Sienna, what are you even thinking?’ She scolded herself inwardly as she waited for him to respond.
Surprisingly, Zachary’s expression didn’t change at all. He still looked calm. "Sounds okay," he said.
Sienna blinked in disbelief. ’He agrees?’
"...Are you serious? Want to eat there?"
"Hmm."
"Do you know what convenience-store food is? Instant rice, instant pizza...everything is instant."
His lips curved slightly. "It’s still food."
Sienna stared at him for a moment before laughing softly. "You sound very easy to satisfy."
"Not really."
"Then why are you agreeing so easily?"
Zachary finally glanced at her properly for a brief second. "Because you recommended it."
The simple answer made Sienna pause. As if someone had just pushed the pause button in her mind.
Warmth spread through her chest so suddenly that she had to look away, avoiding his gaze.
She feels the man beside her is dangerous, not for flirting but because he speaks simply and naturally, catching her unprepared.
Trying to regain control of herself, Sienna cleared her throat lightly.
"Okay," she said, forcing herself to sound normal. "You can park at my apartment first, and then we can walk there."
"Alright."
A few minutes later, the SUV slowly entered the parking area of her apartment building.
"You can park over there," she said softly while pointing toward an empty spot nearby.
Zachary parked smoothly.
Sienna unbuckled her seatbelt first, and for some reason, her movements were slower than usual.
Then she glanced at him. "You really don’t mind eating at the convenience store, do you?" she asked again, just to make sure he wouldn’t regret his decision later.
He looked at her with calm amusement in his eyes. "Sienna."
"Yes?"
"You’ve asked me that three times already."
Her cheeks instantly warmed. "...Because I’m still shocked. And feels surreal."
"Why?"
"Because you don’t look like someone who eats convenience store food."
Zachary raised his brow slightly. His sharp gaze fixed on her. "And what do I look like?"
His question caught her off guard immediately. She was utterly speechless. Because the honest answer sitting in her mind was, "You are handsome and very dangerous for my sanity."
Instead, she muttered weakly, "You look like someone who eats in places with chandeliers."
Then, hurriedly, Sienna opened the door and stepped out of the car. Behind her, Zachary suddenly let out a low chuckle.
