"Hi Kevin. Do you have my laptop?" Leena asked in a low voice, gently pushing open the door. Since Kevin was busy with his work, she had to keep her voice down.
"Yes, I do. It's on the desk. Come here, Leena." Kevin stopped working and looked at Leena. Leaning back in the chair in a leisurely manner, Kevin watched Leena as she inched forward toward him. Yes! She was really slow and hesitant to move forward as though she were facing a dangerous monster lurking ahead. 'Am I as horrible as a bloodthirsty beast?' Kevin wondered.
"What is it you're writing down there?" Leena spoke in an attempt to free herself from the embarrassing moment of being alone with him. She felt awkward whenever she stayed alone with Kevin in private, especially in such a small room. She bit her lips tightly the whole time lest they trembled out of nervousness.
"A summary for the training. I'd better finish it since I'm not busy now. I don't want to leave anything until the last minute." Kevin had a good habit of being very orderly. Once he had set his time table, even just in his mind, he would do exactly as the time table he laid out. He was so good at managing his time.
"Then I'll leave you to your work. I'll jet as soon as I get my computer." An embarrassed smile broke across Leena's face. She was too shy to look at Kevin while speaking to him. But she could not help herself from peeping at him from the corner of her eyes from time to time. Unlike her brothers' elegance and courtesy, Kevin was handsome with masculine charm. His toughness always reminded Leena of the sunshine in a cold winter day. It was comforting and warm, unlike her brothers' icy manner.
"The report can wait. Leena, are you trying to avoid me? Or am I missing something?" Kevin said with a frown. To be frank, he had spotted some dramatic changes in Leena since he came back this time. He still remembered how vivacious and talkative Leena was when they met for the first time. She used to be so brave and naive that it was impossible for her to hide the innermost side of her and she would show no fear of him in his presence. But that lively girl had changed recently. She had become quiet, and had concealed her enthusiasm in his presence. Kevin could even clearly s though he was corrupting an innocent girl.
"I'm sorry! It was so unexpected. I was shocked." Leena's face was so hot you could fry an egg on it. Out of shyness, she dared not look at Kevin while speaking to him. Everything seemed to have happened in a dream. Leena could not believe that Kevin kissed her just now. It was just so out of place. But why? Leena wondered. As far as Leena was concerned, Kevin didn't love her. They kissed each other when both of them had completely gotten drunk last time. But today, both of them were sober. So, Kevin must be fully aware of what he was doing. What did that mean? Many questions kept looping around in Leena's mind. But the answer was not within reach.
"Aha... So that's why you didn't respond to my kisses? That's so funny. What a surprise!" Leena's answer was not what Kevin was expecting. He couldn't help but burst into a hearty fit of laughter. He had to admit that Leena was really an interesting girl with some interesting ideas. It seemed his marital life would be full of laughter thanks to her. He must have married the right person.
"I'm so glad that I'm a joke to entertain you, " Leena said acidly. She felt hurt seeing Kevin laugh in front of her. 'He must have thought of me as an ignorant little girl, ' thought Leena angrily. As a spoiled princess, Leena didn't hide her temper when she was enraged. She glanced at Kevin angrily, and bit him on his shoulder all of a sudden, hoping the bite could get her free from his arms.
