Chapter 107
Lucy gaped at Cillian without blinking. "Cillian, what makes you believe in me?
“Even I don't have much confidence in myself."
Cillian smiled sheepishly. "That's because you were part of the culture committee when you were a freshman. You did a great job organizing events and large-scale plays. I'm certain that you'll be able to achieve that."
A warm feeling washed over her heart. Although it felt like blind trust, his trust in her brought her great comfort.
She mustered up her confidence. "Okay, I'll work hard to live up to your trust in me."
Cillian shook his head. "No, Lucy. You should work hard for the people you love."
A tinge of bitterness welled up in his heart as he thought, 'Don't do that to me, Lucy. It's heartbreaking...'
Lucy remained oblivious.
"You're right!"
The gloom on Lucy's face was swept away. "Thank you. Your advice made me feel much better. I'll try my best to catch up to him and become a woman who's worthy of being by his side."
Cillian's smile remained unchanged, but it somehow looked like a mask on his face.
"Yup..."
With her newfound motivation, she could not wait to go back to her company and start grinding. She was not even in the mood to eat the food in front of her.
"I'll be heading back now. There's no time to waste."
Cillian's eyes betrayed feelings of disappointment. "Okay, drive safe. Remember to carry an umbrella with you so that you won't get wet again." Lucy nodded and left.
Cillian felt his heart aching until Lucy turned around again as if she had forgotten something.
"By the way, Cillian, I don't think I have your number. What's your WhatsApp number? I'll contact you after I wash your handkerchief."
Cillian's mood went from gloomy to sunny in an instant, and they exchanged numbers.
Cillian sent Lucy to the school entrance and waved her off.
It was not that he did not want to spend time with her, but he could not bear the sight of her working hard for her husband.
The fact that he was not the one she
was not doing it for made him insanely jealous, so to keep himself from meddling in their relationship, he had to keep a distance.
When the security guard saw them, there was a knowing expression on his face.
"Miss, is he your boyfriend?"
Lucy blushed. "No, he's just my coursemate."
"Just your coursemate?"
The security guard raised his eyebrows suggestively. It seemed like the goy was still in the stage of pursuing her. The security guard did not want to embarrass them, so he stopped teasing. If Lucy got too shy, the young man might fail to get her.
“Okay, okay. I get it. Miss, are you heading out? Don't forget your student card this time."Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucy knew that he did not take her words seriously at all.
She opened her mouth, wanting to explain herself, but she said nothing in the end.
She had a feeling that the more she tried to fix it, the worse it would get, so she might as well just give up.
It was not like she would come to the university anymore in the future.
Lucy nodded and walked up to her car. She got in and decided to go home to get some things before going to the company.
