Chapter 37 Be friends (1/2)

Ethan Lu slightly opened his eyes to see the giggling Lexi who was trying to restrain her laughing by covering her lips with her fist. At first, he was slightly awestruck as it was his first time seeing this kind of genuine reaction from her.

Granting that she was smiling and laughing throughout the party, Ethan knew that it was her business smiles. But right now, the Lexi before her wasn't the proud and uptight young miss of the Yang family but a woman with grace and undeniable beauty. It was as if her beauty shone that brief moment which made Ethan Lu in awe.

Snapping from his reverie, Ethan Lu smiled brighter than he could before. ”Miss Yang, I know I offended you in somewhat someways and I am truly regretful with that.”

”Director Lu, I appreciate your thought but you don't have to do this.” After recomposing her posture, Lexi got back on her usual front alas, she was now less repellant like the usual. Granting that she was displeased earlier, Lexi wasn't that stubborn to not accept a sincere apology from someone. After all, it was rare for the people that were part of the top social ladder to admit their wrongs.

She knew that well as she had that kind of perspective before as a child. However, as she grows up and matures, with the help of her parents on disciplining her, she changed bit by bit. One of the reasons the grave disappointment of her parents when she forgot the principle she was thought by being blinded by a one-sided love.

”No, I -- You know, Miss Yang I wanted for us to start with the right foot.”

”Huh?”

”Let's be friends.” Ethan Lu declared without going through circles. Indeed, with the short encounters he had with Lexi, Ethan's respect towards the woman gradually rose from scratch. He too didn't expect anything from her.

On their first encounter, he dragged Lexi along with him to Morris Liu's office just for his entertainment and also annoy his buddy. He had the knowledge of Lexi being a spoiled brat that does whatever she wants without using her head. But to his surprise, the expectation of her causing chaos that very day turned out to be the complete opposite.

She wasn't a person who would wage a losing war. She knew when to stop and when to admit defeat. She was mature and not a brat just like what the rumors say. Ethan hooked up with many to count socialites of young misses hence, his understanding of them was all the same.

Thus, to unravel Lexi's nature, he asked her to eat out. Since he was well-versed of the wealthy young misses, he deliberately took her to a small restaurant that he was fond of with the expectation that she was going to a full beast mode.

Alas, to Ethan's surprise, though she showed her reluctance at first, Lexi actually liked home-cooked style noodles that couldn't par the top chefs cooking for her. What's more? He saw her going back to the place alone and genuinely enjoying the food he introduced to her.

Which made him a little interested to his best friend's ex-fiance. He could not understand why Morris was too vexed with just her presence alone. In his opinion, Lexi wasn't that bad with a good social standing and achievements. Well, he'll probably would never understand his friend's thought process.
