Roy held the cigarette between his fingers and extended his other hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
âHello, Mrs.
Evans!â Roy greeted earnestly.
Cecilia blushed.
Roy seemed more nervous than she did.
She was impressed by his earnestness.
She felt a mix of shyness and happiness the way Mark introduced her.
She hesitated for a moment without extending her hand immediately, which made Roy think his hands were too rough and dirty to shake hands with.
Roy quickly wiped his palms on his work clothes.
Cecilia rushed to clarify, âNo, please.
Thatâs not what I meant!â
Finally, she extended her slender, delicate hand, which Roy took, his own hand sweating from nervousness.
As an honest man, Roy scratched his head and said, âYouâre so beautiful!â
Ceciliaâs face turned even redder.
After tidying up the table, Mark stood up and said, âRoy has been working with me for a long time.
Heâs a really good guy.
Well, letâs not keep Roy from his daughterâs birthday party.
Letâs leave work!â
Cecilia felt a bit embarrassed for not bringing a gift for Royâs daughter.
âOh, no, please.
You donât have to.
â Roy quickly waved his hand.
Mark took out his wallet and pulled out a stack of bills totaling five thousand dollars.
âBuy something for your beloved daughter.
â
Roy hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted the money.

After Roy left, Mark returned to his work.
Cecilia bit her lower lip and approached him, complaining, âYou tricked me into coming here.
â
Ceciliaâs tone carried a hint of playfulness.
As Mark signed his name, he said with a hint of helplessness, âI can finish my work after going through these documents.
â
Cecilia approached Mark from behind.
He thought she was going to bother him, but instead, she gently rested her hand on his neck and asked, âAre you tired? If you are, we can skip shopping and go home for dinner.
â
Markâs heart softened as he looked at her.
So far, he hadnât done much for her and had let her endure all the difficulties.
