After a long moment, Arielle finally responded. “Thank you. Frankly, relationship matters are at the bottom of my priority list. I’m sorry, but I have countless issues to deal with.”
Immediately, Harvey’s bright gaze dimmed with disappointment. His joy seemed to deflate like a balloon pierced with a needle. Yet, he regained his composure in the blink of an eye.
“It’s all right. I understand this confession must have taken you by surprise as I said it without warning. Can we remain friends? I won’t tell anyone that we have met overseas. Today is the first day we’ve met.” Harvey forced a smile to mask his sorrow.
“I-I…don’t even want to make new friends. However, thank you for your offer,” Arielle replied after a moment of hesitation.
“What are you planning? Why do you need to conceal your identity and avoid any romance? You can’t even make new friends?” Harvey asked suspiciously.
