Once everything was set, Lina exited the store.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
Almost every store attendant quickly bowed at her departure, which only made her face burn. No matter how many times Lina was recognized, she still couldn't get used to it. Perhaps if she had grown up in the spotlight all her life, Lina wouldn't even bat an eye. But her grandfather, Lawrence, had kept her hidden for all these years.
"Oh my, isn't this Director Lina?"
Lina froze, worried that'd be met with a conflict. She slowly turned on her heels and was surprised at who it was. She didn't know if she should be happy or wary to see him, especially when she knew he was working for either Mia or Kaden.
"Mr. Leur," Lina greeted her long-time client.
"You're up and walking again? What a miraculous recovery," Mr. Leur stated, taking a long and good look at her. His voice, as usual, was filled with a playfulness that made Lina raise a brow.
I spent 3 hours on the 1st part of my thesis paper on Sei Shonagon's "The Pillow Book" and I'm not even halfway done xD but this is one of the rare moments I'm happy doing an assignment because it involves creative writing like this book~
