Chapter 2The Sweetest Con

Lucas moved in three months ago.

He was gentle, polite, and very nice.

Whenever he had good food, he'd share it with me.

"I can't finish this, so I thought I'd share with Ms. Lin. To improve neighborly relations."

When I couldn't carry my packages, he helped.

"Since we're neighbors, it's normal to help each other."

When my water pipe burst and I couldn't find a plumber, he found one for me.

"I have the number for the complex's maintenance guy. I've already contacted him for you, Ms. Lin. Don't worry."

Later, after learning I liked desserts, Lucas said he wanted to open a dessert shop.

I thought he was joking. I didn't expect him to actually open one.

And right downstairs in our complex.
