Chapter 322: He is back
"You must be hungry. I booked a reservation for dinner." Said Lanni as she kissed his face.
Now that she mentioned it, he had been so busy that he took nothing but a cup of espresso in the morning and skipped lunch, and he was so hungry at the moment that his stomach hurt from the piercing pangs.
Lanni had thoughtfully made preparations to eat nearby before going home. To have such a caring girlfriend, he must have saved a planet in his previous life.
She held his hand and joyously led him to the restaurant. He chuckled when he realized that that was where she was earlier when he called her. "Why did you have to take the trouble to go back to the company when I called? You could have just asked me to come over."
"I wanted to hug you first." She sat down when he naturally pulled a chair for her.
He smiled and sat down opposite her. "Thank you, my love."
"What was that? Are you seriously only going to thank me verbally?" She teasingly reminded him of his reaction every time she thanked him in the past.
At the time, he would find every excuse to be close to her but she would push him away at every turn; so whenever he did her the slightest favor, he would use it as a chance to create more opportunities for them to spend time together. Thinking of it now, he never would have thought that they would be this deeply in love.
Seeing as she was still waiting for a more special "thanks" from him, he stood up and closed in on her, then kissed her lips.
