C114 A Favor To Be Repayed

Alicia smiled and said, “So brothers, since you owe me a favor, tomorrow at the family dinner please don’t mind whatever my father or my grandpa says. I don’t even know the real reason they invited both your families.”

Chris laughed and shook his head. “So you think we’re that stupid to fall for your little plan? You pretended to help my brother, but it was actually you who needed us. You made it look like a favor, and now we have to repay it.”

Alicia only laughed and nodded. “Yes… so we all benefit.” Chris crossed his arms. “I almost thought you were also eyeing my brother.”

We all burst into laughter, but deep down, Alicia felt something she had never experienced before.

She had never been in a relationship. She didn’t know the signs of falling in love. All she knew was that she cared about Mike, whether it was because he was kind, or because she pitied the situation he was in, she wasn’t sure herself. But something about him stayed in her thoughts longer than it should.

While sitting there, Alicia took out snacks and we ate while enjoying the breathtaking view of kites filling the sky.

In the distance, we suddenly spotted my team manager. Wait… he was talking to someone. When I looked closely, I froze. Those eyes… that face… The same girl from before.

I was dazed for a moment, trying to understand how they were connected. My mind drifted back to that day, the lunch incident.

It was the team manager who had taken us out, yet somehow we ended up sitting with her. And now, here they were again, talking as if they already knew each other. Chris called my name, snapping me out of my thoughts.

When I turned away, the sky was filled with glowing kites dancing in the wind, their strings shimmering under the sunlight as if they were alive.

For a moment, we all stood there admiring the view in silence.
