Dare To Love 44. Excitement In The Office
Lea spontaneously widened her eyes, surprised by Daniel's question, the answer to which was already clear but still questioned by him. "What? Didn't you say I have to ask first, how should I do it?" Daniel commented, realizing the strange look from the girl sitting next to him. "As if asking again is necessary, obviously not, right? The answer is clear!" Lea replied in an annoyed tone. Lea thought that Daniel seemed to be deliberately trying to annoy her. In a sad tone, Daniel said he wouldn't pick up Lea tomorrow if she didn't like it. "Really? Okay, thanks a lot for your understanding," Lea said, slightly relieved. Finally, she only had to endure the bad experience of being picked up by Daniel for just one day. They arrived in front of Lea's office building a few moments later. The girl exited the car, saying politely, "Thank you. I'll go in directly." "Okay, don't forget to let me know when you're leaving so I can pick you up," Daniel requested earnestly. "Oh, no need, it's
Dare To Love 45. Indecision
That afternoon, Amanda tried to reshape Lea's thoughts. She seemed to dismiss all the reasons Lea provided for rejecting Daniel's love."I can't. I'm already into Shane.""Does Shane feel the same way about you?"Like a slap in the face, Lea couldn't answer that question."Well, it's not clear.""So, what's your other reason for rejecting him? Is Daniel ugly? Mean? Rude?""Not at all! He's cool, kind, warm, and very considerate, especially when it comes to you!""Come on, Lea, consider all that. Don't regret it, ignoring him just to pursue Shane, who, in reality, you're not pursuing anyway. Why not just accept what comes your way? By doing that, you can even satisfy your family. You can resolve your mom's issues. That's much more important.Amanda gave lengthy advice to Lea. Lea forgot to touch her food on the plate at all. She lost her appetite as she realized and accepted that what Amanda had said was mainly factual.Thinking about her mom's suffering, who continued to deceive herse
Dare To Love 46. Resignation
Lea's concerns were justified. The women pressured Mrs. Anna to reveal when Lea might be engaged. Oh no! These gossiping mothers were so quick when it came to rumors. Who would want to get engaged to Daniel anyway?"So, Lea, did you get closer to Daniel just now?" Mrs. Anna began probing what had happened between Lea and Daniel when they had had a family dinner. As usual, dinner allowed the family to gather, eat, and share their daily activities."Oh, come on, Mom. Nothing happened. We just sat close in the car. Other than that, it's just normal." Lea replied skeptically.This response seemed to invite disappointment on her mom's face. The heavy sigh and pleading look she immediately threw at her husband was proof of this.Mr. Adam somewhat understood his wife's code and commented, "Why is that? It would help if you got closer. You are in the getting-to-know-each-other phase. Shouldn't there be any progress?"Lea shook her head. "No, Dad. Besides, I've already said, feelings can't be
Dare To Love 47. Amanda's Plan
"Instead of being confused, let's have a double date tomorrow night!" Amanda suddenly came up with the idea as her way of helping Lea get closer to Daniel."Huh? I don't want to!""Oh, come on, you have to. Just this once, follow my wishes, Lea. Please. Just accept it, and everything will be fine. Just wait at home, tomorrow night, Daniel will pick you up, and we'll meet at the location. It's fixed, no debate." Amanda said these words and promptly hung up, not giving Lea a chance to agree or disagree."Ugh, typical Amanda! Always doing things her own way!" Lea grumbled and threw herself onto her bed.Tonight was tough for her. Pressures from her mom, Grace's comments, and Amanda's supportive interference were. Damn, she thought.A few moments later, Lea fell asleep without any dreams. Perhaps her heart was too exhausted from the series of heavy events that day, and her mind was too tired to think, demanding sleep.When she woke up the following day, for some reason, she felt very ligh
Dare To Love 48. Preparation For The Double Date
That evening, Lea returned home from work with a heavy burden on her mind. The night was approaching when she had a date with Daniel, even though she didn't like him. How did this happen? It's already this late. Can I cancel it?"Huh, all because of Amanda's idea. That darn friend," she grumbled as she approached her car in the basement parking lot.Upon reaching home, to her surprise, Grace handed her a package in a paper box."What's this?" she asked, curious because there was no sender's name. She tried to remember for a moment, but there was no package from her online shopping that she was expecting."It's from Mr. D," Grace replied meaningfully with sparkling eyes. She handed Lea a small note that was on top of the paper box.'For you who are special,' it said, accompanied by a heart emoticon.Oh, when it comes to romance, Daniel gets a maximum score, she thought to herself."Huh?" That's all Lea could utter. Daniel again! What now? Her heart wandered."Open it, sis. Seriously, i
Dare To Love 49. Double Date
When the doorbell echoed through the house, Lea jumped, almost running outside. She was afraid of being intercepted by Mrs. Anna or her father. Instead of allowing them to say or do things that could be disadvantageous later, she quickly took Daniel and left. But it seemed she was too late. Her parents, as if intentionally, were already waiting in the living room. Oh no! Lea grumbled in frustration. How could they do this? Daniel, chatting with Lea's parents, was immediately captivated when he caught sight of the girl. Her dress, resulting from her friend's insistence at the boutique that morning, was perfect for his beloved. She looked flawless tonight in Daniel's eyes. Ah, if this is something worth fighting for, he thought. Lost in the enchanting daydream for a moment, Daniel didn't respond when Mr. Adam asked him questions. The middle-aged man had to repeat calling his name, "Daniel? So, how is it?" Surprised, Daniel quickly fumbled, "Uh-umm... what, sir? Sorry, I was mesmerize
Dare To Love 50. A Statement
Amanda greeted Lea and Daniel with enthusiasm. She even gave them a thumbs-up. Amanda was very pleased with Lea's appearance. Standing next to Daniel, wearing a short-sleeved dark grey shirt with cream-coloured pants, they looked very harmonious as a couple."Sit here. What would you like to order?" Amanda said when Lea had sat next to her. Daniel sat beside her on the other side. The table in the restaurant was a large, round one covered with a clean white tablecloth draped down.On the table, a small pot of white and pink roses was arranged in the middle, followed by a crystal container with aromatherapy candles. There were also two menus, one of which Lea was already holding. Lea mentioned a signature dessert on the restaurant's menu and an iced cappuccino, which puzzled the other three."Why just dessert, dear?" Daniel teased, earning a sharp look from Lea. Daniel laughed at Lea's expression while Amanda playfully teased both of them."Yeah, what about eating?" Amanda took the men
Dare To Love 51. On Time Is A Must
"Yes!" Daniel's exaggerated shout drew the attention of other diners toward their table. Lea immediately blushed, unsure of how to respond. A mix of awkwardness, shyness, and various other feelings overwhelmed her. "Wow, a couple now, huh?" Amanda began to cheer happily for the achievement of the two people she cherished. Daniel was her beloved cousin, and they had always been close since childhood. Despite his rough demeanor towards his other male friends, with Amanda, he became a protective brother who always gave in. That's why Amanda was so supportive of Lea being together with Daniel. And now, as her efforts had yielded significant results, she was genuinely happy. Alvin began to feel a bit annoyed by his girlfriend's indifference towards him tonight. But he hesitated to protest because they rarely had the opportunity to gather like this. Hopefully, Lea and Daniel's matter will be resolved quickly so that Amanda won't be bothered by their affairs. "Thank you so much, dear." Wi
