Hello, Mr. Thompson!

Unexpected Conversation with Mr. Thompson

Lily Sophia Turner stood rooted to the spot, her tongue seemingly tied, unable to speak.

Luke Oliver Thompson began to walk, and it felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing through the air.

He walked to the edge of the sand, slowly sat down, and said unhurriedly, "Come here."

He flashed her a gentle smile.

Lily's mind went blank. It was as if she was under a spell, and she walked straight over to him.

She stopped two steps away from him, looking down at her toes.

That morning, she had gone to the hospital wearing her recently bought white sneakers, which now bore several black scuff marks.

Those shoes had cost her six or seven hundred dollars. As an intern, her salary wasn't high, and the shoes had taken a quarter of her wages. Thankfully, she was going to be a full-time employee next month.

This was only the second time she wore them, and she didn't even feel upset about the scuffs.

She stole a glance at him. His black leather shoes were clean, just like the impression he gave off.

Luke slightly furrowed his lips, "Are you nervous?"

Lily took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Lily shook her head again.

Luke paused for a moment, "Sit down and talk."

His tone was still the same, neither too light nor too heavy.

Lily pinched her palm hard, finally gathering the courage to look into his eyes.

"What do you want to talk about?"

When she spoke, her voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a hint of trembling at the end.

Wasn't she afraid of him?

Luke's brows twitched slightly, and he patted the couch, clearly indicating for Lily to sit down.

He cleared his throat and finally spoke, "I was drunk that night."

Lily's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She swallowed instinctively, "I..."

"Although I was drunk, I was still aware of what happened.

When I woke up in the morning, you were gone."

This was completely out of his control.

Lily: "...That was an accident."

Luke's face took on a slightly stern look, "That night, it happened suddenly, and I didn't take any precautions."

Lily bit her lip and instinctively replied, "I took the pill."

Luke was momentarily stunned, "Lily, aren't you planning to... talk to me about it?"

"Talk about what?"

Luke was taken aback by her question. He looked into her eyes, which were shallow and as pure as cat's eyes.

At this moment, even though she was so nervous and uneasy, she pretended to be calm.

"Mr. Thompson, that night was an accident, I..." She became a bit anxious, "I didn't want anything from you."

"What if I'm willing to give?"

"...You want to give me money?"

He smiled without saying a word.

Lily was full of frustration, even suppressing her anger. Although she wasn't good at arguing, she did have a temper. What did he take her for?

"Lily, I'm 28 years old, single. You should know about my work situation."

Lily blinked suspiciously.

"My family is relatively simple. I have a sister six years younger than me studying abroad. My parents are with her, and they will be returning to the country soon."

Lily thought to herself, if the Thompson family is considered simple, then there's no complexity in the world.

"What else do you want to know?"

Lily was wary, "What do I need to know?"

Luke paused slightly, "We can date as a couple."

This sentence was like a storm.

Lily suddenly stood up, "Are you kidding me?"

Luke raised his eyebrows, "You're 22 years old, about to graduate from university. There's a six-year age gap between us, which I don't think is a problem."

Lily pointed at herself, "Do you know who I am?"

Luke nodded, "You, Lily Sophia Turner, majoring in Communications at A University. You graduated from Jincheng High School." After all, she was his junior from high school.

"You investigated me?"
