Too Late for Love

After the party ended, Kane drove me back to my place.

During the ride, my best friend Lina kept texting me.

"Yuna, seize the moment and go for this handsome guy!"

I rolled my eyes and texted her back.

"Come on, he's taken over the family business and is now the president of a billion-dollar publicly traded company. There's no way he'd be interested in me."

Lina pressed on, "Just say you're inexperienced. The way he looked at you during dinner was like he wanted to devour you. I study psychology, trust me on this."

I texted back, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Lina responded dismissively, "What nonsense? Why should Norman get to find other women behind your back? Are you really going to stay loyal to him forever?"

"After being with this jerk for seven years, don't you think that's a loss? Don't you want to treat yourself better?"

Her words felt like they had opened a can of worms, stirring up all my doubts and thoughts.

Just as I was about to reply, the car slowly came to a stop at the hotel entrance.

I thanked him, saying, "I really appreciate you driving me home so late."

Kane looked at me with a charming smile, making my heart race.

"Yuna, I told you I'd come back to find you. Did you forget?"
