Grandma couldn't wait to push her "wonderful grandson" on me again, my past life's nightmare, Liam Wright.
Liam was a soft-spoken associate professor at a local university, clean-cut and refined.
Upon my arrival, he rose to pull out a chair and take my bag. "What's on your mind? I saw on your Instagram you're dieting, so I chose this place—they have whole grain options for every dessert."
Polite, thoughtful, and seemingly sincere.
But who would guess he was a ruthless snake in disguise, ready to strike without warning?
This time around, I could see right through him, the greed and disgust barely concealed behind his courteous facade.
I played the shy card. "I've never been here; what do you recommend?"
Our afternoon coffee was delightful.
Liam shared amusing tales from the university, and I acted the part of an intrigued girl, constantly chiming in with, "And then what?"
Right after we parted, I texted him: [When can we meet again? My friends are eager to meet you~]
My message was playful, but my expression was a smirk.
Liam texted back: [Already introducing me to your friends? How fast are we moving? ~ Bashful]
How else to reel you in if not through meeting my friends?
I responded coolly: [I need a second opinion, can't decide all by myself, right? They're all lookers with deep pockets. You'd better bring your A-game next week!]
