“No, I won’t,” Finnley answered gently, “I can work from home.”
“Ivan will complain.” Mya frowned worriedly. “Please! Go to your company. Or they’ll make wild guesses.”
“About what?” Finnley didn’t care.
Mya blurted out, “They’ll guess about our relationship.”
Finnley raised his head, and they locked eyes.
Mya added, “It’s suspicious for them as I’m staying in your apartment. If you didn’t go to work for a few days because of me, what would they think?”
“I didn’t go to work, but it wasn’t because of you,” Finnley answered indifferently. “I’m taking my annual leaves. Even if you didn’t stay in my apartment, I would be on vacation.”
Mya was startled, awkwardly wondering if she had flattered herself.
“All right.” She lowered her head to continue with the food. “That’s better.”
Finnley didn’t speak, either, looking calm.
Mya was relieved. A while later, she chirped, “Finnley, you are not young. Don’t you plan to find a girlfriend?”
Finnley glanced at her in silence.
“How do you like Linda?” she asked with a smile, “You’ve worked together for a long time. Do you have a crush on her?”
“I work with many coworkers. Shall I have crushes on all of them?” Finnley looked at her solemnly. “Why don’t you have a boyfriend?”
“How did you know I didn’t?” Mya retorted without hesitation, smiling mysteriously.
Finnley almost stopped breathing. Staring up at her, he asked, “Do you have a boyfriend? Who is he?”
“Spencer Lawrence,” Mya answered loudly with a bright smile. “I love the feeling that he presents to others.”
“Are you dating?” Finnley was confused.
“We don’t need to,” Mya chuckled. “Many of his female fans call him Honey but cannot meet him in person. Love can only matter to one party sometimes. I don’t expect Spencer to love me back.”
Her words relieved Finnley.
