Luo liked Lana a lot, and she felt very comfortable around her, she was able to see a trustworthy friend in her, a sister who can be counted upon. Lana also told her to not hesitate and to talk to her anytime she wanted to as well, if she had something going on and Lana would do the same with her.

She felt so bad though that she had to confide in her junior since Lana was a few years younger than her. It felt so awkward to ask someone younger for advice, especially when it came to love matters. But then Lana definitely had more experience compared to her in the matters of the heart.

“Hmm, so you’re in love. So tell me what is the problem now?” Lana asked, trying hard to not give Luo a teasing smile because she could see her blushing face, not to mention her timid smile.

Luo gulped then she timidly said, “I’m not sure if the guy feels the same way as I do. Hmm, I honestly think he only wants to have my body. You see, like he is attracted towards me s.e.x.u.a.lly… like.. l.u.s.t?”

Lana pursed her lips then sighed…

“How will you know if that’s how it is unless you will not ask him? Oh, gosh… Luo, Communication is very important to clear things up between people. I can understand that it’s hard to ask such things, especially for women like us since we have our pride to save. I myself was one you see…

But then I realized that if you love someone, risking to be honest is better than living in a confused state. It doesn’t matter if you confess first… What matters is you let him know how you really feel then bravely face the reality of how he accepts it.”

“Who knows… There could be a positive response?” Lana encouraged.

“But what if it is a negative response from him?” Luo mumbled with a twitched mouth, making Lana chuckle.

“Hmm, then come to me and let’s drink all night long and forget our sorrows!” Lana beamed, laughing loudly.

“Getting hurt is okay, Luo. What matters is that you’re willing to move forward with your life. Because life definitely doesn’t end there. Who knows, someone better could be on his way to you…” Lana added with a smile.

Luo dropped her shoulders and murmured, “I’m not sure if I’m confident enough to confess…”

“It doesn’t mean you have to confess right now… Take your time to be ready…”

“I wish that time will come when I will be ready…” Luo pessimistically commented.

“Hmm, then don’t confess in words but try showing into your actions? Anyway, who is that stupid guy?!”

The moment Lana asked who was the guy, Luo’s mobile phone rang.

Luo heaved a sigh of relief since she got saved by that call. She was shy to tell Lana it was Noah and also how they both got entangled with each other.

Her heart almost skipped a beat when Luo saw the blinking screen of her mobile phone, seeing it was Noah who was calling her.

She unconsciously put her palm to her heart. She could feel it drumming inside.

*thump thump thump

Lana had a teasing smile as she looked at Luo’s expression.

“I guess that’s him calling you. Why not answer him?” Lana teased.

Luo answered it and whispered, “Yup?”

“Where are you?”

“At Lana’s office. Why?”

“Stay there… I will pick you up.”

“Why?” Luo breathed. For some reason she felt nervous.

“Just stay there. I’m on my way.” Noah authoritatively instructed before Luo heard the end call beep.

Lana had to snap before her face to wake her and bring her back to reality.

“Look how much in love you are…”

“Who’s the stupid guy by the way, why don’t you spill it out?” Lana repeated because she thought the man was stupid to feel just l.u.s.t for Luo since she personally thought Luo was too adorable.

She liked her a lot. Her candidness and honesty.

“You don’t wanna tell me? It’s okay if you don’t want to,” Lana said with a reassuring smile followed by a wink.

Luo blinked and murmured softly, “it’s Noah and he said he’s now on his way here to pick me up…”

“What?! As in Noah Yu?” Lana burst in shock. Noah did not look like some pervert… to l.u.s.t over a woman without having any emotional bonding.

Luo answered her only with a nod. Then Lana heard her heaved a long deep sigh before she started narrating how her entanglement with Noah happened.

Lana had mixed emotions as she listened to her but mostly she could not help but chuckle on how Luo bargained with Noah and played with him.

Then Luo also opened up to Lana about Daryl and his proposal.

“Oh my… I’m totally shocked… I mean hearing all these things… Daryl and Noah… Hmm. Daryl is a nice guy and I’m sure he’s sincere towards you but you like Noah… I think Noah likes you a lot too. He’s on his way here right?

How about I invite Daryl also here. Maybe Noah would feel jealous and you get some answers for your dilemma!” Lana suggested with a meaningful grin.

“Will that be effective?” Luo hesitantly asked

Lana sighed and scoffed, “Maybe it’s not a good idea. What if those two suddenly start fighting over you? Oh geez, I can’t stay for long too. I have to go out soon.”

Luo sighed… she looked at her wristwatch.

Lana had a lopsided grin and suggested, “how about you go as well and I will tell Noah that Daryl went to pick you up?”

Luo scratched her head, hesitating at the idea.

“Let’s do that… So that I can see Noah’s reaction?”

“But that doesn’t mean he has deep emotions towards me. Jealousy also happens to egoistic men…” Luo complained.

Lana shook her head and suddenly thought, “I wish Liam was here. I think as a man he could give you better advice than me…”

Luo sighed. She was still nervous though, wondering why Noah suddenly wanted to see her.
