Chapter 281

Shortly after I got to my chair, as I slumped down I said, "Good morning." His eyes had now found mine and I couldn't help but smile. There was no other way. "Good morning Luana."

Asher looked at me more closely and then at the sweater that was lying on the table. I pushed the item of clothing over to him and explained, "I have to give it back to you. Thanks for the loan. That was very kind of you."

"I was serious yesterday that you look stunning in it. It suits you much better and the color emphasizes your eyes, although they are normally beautiful." With his last sentence he confused me a bit, which is why I asked irritably, "Please what?" Somehow it made me laugh because the choice of words was cute. But of course I was happy about the compliment, because there were actually a few of them.

"Luana, I'm trying to give you creative compliments. Could you treat that with a little more respect?" I already fell silent because I certainly didn't want to laugh at him.
