FreeNovel"Do you like me?" he paused. "Why?" Her heart raced. "Because you look handsome." Amused, he said, "You are lying!" "How can you tell?" Ivy asked.
"Considering your looks, I'm sure you have a lot of pursuers, and there are bound to be guys more handsthan I among them." "Fine, but sometimes chemistry is important, too. I think there's a chemistry between us," she said.
"You just won't tellthe truth, huh?" he said.

Back when Ivy's grandmother was ill, she would not allow Ivy to buy even generic painkillers because she wanted Ivy to save the money instead.
"You're rubbing salt on my wound with that statement," Lucas said.
"I'm sorry. I just want your mother to live a little longer. I can help you with the money..." Ivy lowered her head, her voice getting softer.
"I can tell you have money now, but I will never take your money!" Lucas said firmly.
Feeling discouraged, Ivy asked, "If we had known each other in the past, would you still be this distant?" "If we had truly known each other, then why don't I remember you?" Lucas asked.
"People change, and so do their appearances," Ivy said.
"You're kidding me? I looked the seven when I was a child," Lucas said.

Lucas parked the car in front of thepany's entrance.
"You don't have to followanymore! I really dislike people like you who have no sense of boundaries! I've given you several et chances, and you still can't tellwhy you are here. Well, I no longer want to know the answer!" Lucas said and walked into the building. Sitting by the stairs, Ivy gazed at the bustling traffic in a daze.
She did not want to go back to the hotel. Although she could not stay by Lucas' side now, she still wanted to be close to him.
It drizzled that afternoon, but Ivy continued to sit on the steps. She did not move.
She used to often endure this kind of drizzle in the past.
Meanwhile, Caspian brought a cup of coffee to Lucas's office and said, "Lucas, your little assistant is outside in the rain!" Lucas frowned. "You mean Ivy?" "Yes! I just went down for a smoke and to pick up the food I ordered. I saw her sitting on the stairs, looking silly. Her clothes are all wet from the rain. She didn't even bother seeking shelter. She looks so weird that I didn't dare talk to her." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
