C148 Does This Mean She Is Also Interested

After finding a quiet corner near the company entrance, I finally took out my phone. Chris and Alicia leaned closer. “What is it?” Alicia asked.

I showed them the message. Both of them stared at the screen. Then they stared at me. Then back at the screen. Then back at Me.

Alicia was the first to react. “Brother!” Chris looked equally shocked. “You received a good morning message from Laura?” I nodded.

Alicia immediately grabbed my arm. “This is huge!” Chris crossed his arms thoughtfully. “Maybe.” I looked at him confused. “Maybe?” Chris nodded.

“It could mean she’s interested.” He paused. “Or she’s just being polite.” My excitement instantly dropped. Alicia immediately hit Chris on the shoulder. “Why would you say that?” Chris shrugged.

“Because it’s true.” I sighed. “Then what should I do?” Alicia and Chris exchanged glances. Neither of them answered immediately.

After all… Neither had ever been in a relationship before. Alicia had spent most of her life surrounded by family and bodyguards. Chris was too focused on studying and protecting me to care about romance.

The three sat there awkwardly. Finally, Alicia raised her hand. “I think you should take it slow.” Chris nodded. “For once, I agree with her.” I looked at them surprised. “Really?” Chris shrugged.

“You just escaped heartbreak not long ago. Don’t rush.” Alicia smiled. “Besides, if Laura likes you, she isn’t going anywhere.”
