One Meet By Chance novel Chapter 25

"What are you looking at?"

Enrique's sudden question interrupted Teresa's thoughts, she realized that she had lost her composure and she was behaving inappropriately. Being a little nervous, she coughed and kept thinking about what to say.

"Can't I peep at the couple sitting opposite to me drinking coffee? Look, the man has good temperament and the woman has good shape. Don't you think they are a perfect match?" Teresa took a sip of water and bowed her head, fearing that Enrique would see through her disguise.

"How do you know they are a couple?"

"Or what else? Brother and sister? Sale and customer? Or do you think they are boss and employee like you and me?" Teresa Retorted.

Of course she knew they were not a couple. Because they were Jerome and Lena! But what else could she say? Every word she said was like a knife cutting her heart.

Would her heart, which had been hard to heal, be scarred again?

"You are right. They are brother and sister from the Gu Family. And we know each other. Do you want to say hello to them?" Enrique squinted his eyes to observe Teresa reaction.

"I'm not you. I don't know them. Go by yourself if you want to say hello to them."

The food they had just ordered had been delivered at this time. Seeing that Enrique focused on the food, Teresa was relieved. It was all right if they didn't meet. But if she met them, she always wanted to see them. Teresa took advantage of Enrique's lack of attention to steal another glance at those two again.

Was this about the longest distance in the world? They were just in front of her, but she could not talk to them and tell them that she missed them so much. They used to be so close to each other, but now they just saw each other as strangers. They were so close to her but at the same time so far away.

She would probably have nothing to do with them in her whole life.

The steak looked so good that Teresa decided to swallow it with everything she had seen today. She didn't want anyone to know the relationship between her and the Gu Family. No one would know the secret, including Enrique in front of her.

That was because she couldn't afford the consequence.

"You haven't told me about what happen to your design yet," Enrique asked a sudden question as he was cutting the steak.

Not getting an answer for a long time, Enrique raised his head and looked at the cunning look in Teresa's eyes. At this moment, he felt like he had done something wrong.

"Ahem, do not speak at the feeding or sleeping time. Who said that before?"

"Really? It seems that Miss Gu has agreed to have a cup of coffee with me later."

Teresa thought she would be succeeded in making fun of Enrique, but what she could not expect was that Enrique fight her back so easily. The worst thing was that she had fallen into his trap again.

At this moment, she really felt that it was better for her to keep distance from him!

They bickered with each other over lunch. Before they knew it, Jerome and Lena, who were drinking coffee outside the window, had left. Enrique took Teresa into the seat of Jerome and Lena, as if he did it on purpose.

Then Enrique solemnly produced the two design drafts he had just stashed away. He pushed the unfinished design draft in front of Teresa and waited for her explanation leisurely.

"My inspiration came from the amusement park we went yesterday. I wanted to design a pendant, but the scale was out of control. Thus it is a waste draft. What's worse, I don't have any inspiration now."

Teresa explained this in a breezy way, but her mind was not on the draft at all. Let alone asking her to design, Teresa couldn't even explain the design principles clearly.

"I think you can blaze another trail. The premise is that you finish the semi-finished draft. You don't have to design a pendant. You have many other options."

"But even if I finish this draft, the proportion of the work is probably very abstract. And then according to the design, whatever jewelry is going to be weird."
