784 You (2/2)

”Mr. Lu?” she called in a careful tone this time when he didn't reply to her.

He hadn't said anything or even moved a muscle. He was just staring at her with those intense, dark eyes that made her shiver—not because of fear but because of thrill. Tamping down on her instinctive womanly reaction to him, she took a half-step forward and studied him. Why wasn't he talking or moving? Then a thought entered her mind. Was he sleepwalking?

At this rate, she would have to apologize to her parents because they invested so much on her education and praised her for being sensible and intelligent, and yet here she was about to become a bumbling idiot with just a few words from this man.

He didn't reply and instead continued to stare at her with his intense, dark eyes. It made her heart race so loudly that she worried he might hear it from where he was standing.

She cleared her throat. ”Would you like to d-drink some water, too?”

”No.”

Okay, so that wasn't it. ”Juice?”

”No.”

”What would you like from the kitchen then?”

”You,” he said.
