After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Stella, are you really not going? I wanted to publicly announce our relationship."
I had often dreamed that one day he would openly announce our relationship on stage under the spotlight.
But now that my dream was coming true, I felt no excitement or joy.
"You're still rising in your career. Maybe it's not the right time to make our relationship public."
I refused.
Upon hearing this, Luxor seemed unable to contain himself and growled.
"Well, go or not, as you like!"
Since we've been together, I have never refused him.
Let alone repeatedly rejecting him tonight.
He was humble enough, but I still didn't follow his mind.
He slammed the door as he left, and I calmly finished organizing my drawings, pondering how to discuss a collaboration with Casper tomorrow.
The next morning, Luxor sat in the living room with his eyes lowered, smoking.
I couldn't tell if he hadn't slept all night or if he had just woken up early.
"Are you planning to go to the art studio today? Your leg isn't convenient, I can take you."
Seeing me stand up, he stood up awkwardly.
"No, I'm going to discuss the studio cooperation with Casper."
