Chapter 346: I Really Do (1)
Gathering her courage, Lyne finished off the last of her wine before casting her eyes in Boris’s direction. She was already starting to feel more confident than she had ever felt for a while now, and she didn’t want to throw away the opportunity to just go ahead and say it to Boris’s face while she still had it in her to do so. She was just sure that she’ll lose her nerve if she decided to put this off for another day, and a part of her really didn’t want to disappoint Raine just after they shared that beautiful talk earlier.
’You can do this, Lyne,’ she psyched herself up. ’There’s no need to put this off for later...’
Setting down her empty glass, Lyne took in a deep breath before she walked right up to Boris. The general feel of the room seemed to shift the moment she did so, everyone around them seemingly giving them a decent berth as the two of them awkwardly stared at one another.
"Lyne," Boris nodded, his eyes roaming around in an effort to not look at her. "What’s up?"
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" she asked, not bothering with any sort of small talk as her heart hammered in her chest. "Preferably somewhere private."
"O-Oh, sure thing."
Seeing him nod, Lyne quickly took him by the hand before excusing themselves from the party itself. By the edges of her vision, she saw Raine giving her a thumbs up, and she couldn’t help but smile as she took her friend’s encouragement to heart.
"Where are we going?" Boris asked behind her, his skin starting to burn hot against her palms as she kept on pulling him with her.
"Somewhere private," she repeated, not wanting to admit that she was taking him to her room in the Yue mansion.
