Chapter 179: An Awkward Confession
Andy smiled affectionately at her as she tried to move away, avoiding him. He didn’t want to scare her, so he remained calm and stilled with apparent friendly gestures.
Despite his efforts to meet her again, she always politely declined, claiming she was busy and rarely stayed in the city. To make matters worse, whenever he heard she was returning to the capital, he had to fly off to another town or abroad for imperative business trips.
So, when he finally learned that they would both be in the city at the same time, he made excuses to revise the design of his house, not because it was necessary but to create an opportunity to meet her again. He felt stupid for doing so but didn’t have a choice. The heart wants what the heart wants.
"Thank you for your help, Abigail. I appreciate you coming here to meet me," he said.
"Oh, please, Andy. You don’t have to say that. Our contract binds us. It is my duty as your interior designer to revise anything you want," Abigail casually responded, placing her laptop in her bag.
She needed to go home now, as she had many tasks ahead of her, especially with a big day planned with Sawyer tomorrow—enough to make her feel like a butterfly dancing in her stomach.
"Still, I feel bad asking you to come," he insisted.
"Andy, did you forget? You pay me each time you request a revision, so there’s no need to feel bad about it." Abigail chuckled lightly when she saw him nod, trying to say something, but no words came out. He just ran his fingers through his hair, looking nervous.
Not wanting to linger, Abigail began to excuse herself. "Alright, Andy, let’s wrap it up. It’s time for me to—" However, she paused when she saw him stop her.
