Chapter 109 Oh... so, this is love? (1/2)
After seeing her short message, Ethan grinned feeling proud of his girl. He already knew that the role was already hers when he drove her to the location and how she weirdly held her phone with great importance.
Surely, his ambiguous thoughts earlier vanished into thin air as if he never had such thought. How could he let this girl go? Whatever the outcome of hanging out with her, or even if he admits that he fell head over heels to Lexi, Ethan Lu couldn't turn his back against her.
Biting his lower lips, Ethan didn't compose a reply and directly called her. After one ring, surprisingly, it was immediately answered unlike his other phone call whenever he makes a call. This, of course, sent waves of satisfying emotions inside his heart.
Lexi: ”Hey,” When the line connected, Ethan's heart nearly melt hearing her gentle and restrained happiness. Of course, with his ever-reliable radar, he instantly detected the indiscernible emotion behind Lexi's tone.
Surely, Ethan was alert that everything about Lexi. He wasn't forcing it, but, it's was programmed at the back of his mind to take notice with every little detail she showed.
”Hehe, how was it?” Ignoring the disdainful looked from Chris Yu, Ethan indulged himself with the phonecall as he anticipates Lexi's response with a full, blooming smile.
Lexi: ”hmm, it was fine… lucky.”
”Just lucky? Doubt that. Well, I expected it after all. So, what are your plans?” Slightly creasing his brows because Ethan Lu highly doubts that she just got lucky, he honestly responded before inquiring what she'd do since she got the role.
”Nothing in particular… well, we could grab a drink I guess,”
The moment Ethan heard her last remarks, his eyes widened as the trauma from the last time Lexi got drunk resurfaced. Hence, without a seconds hesitation, he strongly refused.
”No, no, no, no! No drinking!” He unintentionally raised his voice which startled Chris Yu who was preoccupied with his phone. Glaring daggers at Ethan's panicked expression, he clicked his tongue before he wordlessly turned his attention back on his phone.
”Haha, kidding. Well, I don't have any plans as I need to prepare myself before the filming starts.” Chuckling on the line, Lexi uttered after hearing Ethan's panic-stricken response. She was just teasing him and Lexi wouldn't dig a hole for herself anymore. After all, the last time she celebrated something with him which led her to kiss him on the nose! God knows what would happen next if she got drunk again.
”Don't joke like that -- it almost gave me a heart attack.” Sighing in relief, Ethan lightly patted his chest when she explained. He resumed,
”Where are you now? Want me to fetch you?”
