So I sent them afternoon tea and meals every day when they were busy.
“Hey, is Lora in love with Andrew?”
Jack kept glancing at Andrew and me.
There was even an ambiguous smile on his face.
I smiled and was about to speak when I was interrupted by Andrew.
He warned Jack with a serious face, "Don't make such a joke."
Seeing that Andrew didn't look well, Jack immediately put away his smile and apologized to me. "Please don't take it to heart. I was just talking nonsense. You guys talk! I'll go out for lunch."
After that, he took his lunch and ran away in a hurry.
"Don't mind what he said."
Andrew also wanted to leave with the food.
I immediately took his hand and said, "Andrew, don't you know that I like you? I wasn't joking that night."
Andrew's body stiffened.
A few seconds later, I heard his emotionless voice.
"But I don't like you. Please don't waste time on me."
After saying that, he gently shook off my hand and left.
My heart ached a little as I watched him leave, but I didn't want to give up.
If only I hadn't noticed his other clenched fist and what he said that night when he drove me home thinking I was asleep.
I'd almost believe him if it weren't for that.
