Geena looked in the direction Adrian was pointing and immediately saw an antique shop.
The antique shop looked ordinary, but you could see a huge interior filled with rows and rows of shelves through its glass doors.
Many customers were admiring the antiques in the antique shop. There were all types of customers-young and old, men and women, and businessmen and scholars. There were about 30 of them in total.
He did not expect Adrian’s uncle’s shop to be so popular.
It seemed Adrian was not hiding anything with her introduction of the antique shop. She was telling the truth.
“Let’s go inside, Mr. Stefan…”
Adrian reached for Geena’s hand as she spoke but hesitated after stretching it out. Then she withdrew it. She still did not have the courage to hold Geena’s hand.
Geena was aware of Adrian’s gesture, but he said nothing and did not do anything.
Though he had a soft spot for Adrian now, it was far from love. Besides, he knew it would never work out for him and Adrian. Therefore, having a situation with her was just a waste of her time.
As the saying went, “It’s better to resolve it now than prolong it.”
Geena did not intend to reject Adrian outright, but she could understand what he meant if he kept his indifference.
“Don’t you have to cover yourself up, Mr. Stefan?” Adrian asked as she tried to strike up a conversation.
“Cover myself up?” Geena looked puzzled.
