The weather was already chilly during the winter, and the heavy rain outside just made it even colder.

Damn it… I just had to forget my umbrella, huh? Well, my car isn’t too far away, so maybe I could just run through the rain…

But the moment I stood outside the entrance of the restaurant, the biting cold discouraged me.

“Did you drive here or take a cab?” His voice sounded as cold as the weather.

Marcus nodded. “I’ll give you a lift.”

“No, thank you,” I declined his offer immediately.

“Haha… I know you hate me and all, but you don’t have to avoid me like that! I’m not going to kidnap you or anything!” he said with a wry, self-mocking laugh.
