Flustered by a Compliment
Added 2025-03-03 19:00:07 +0000 UTCWhat was supposed to be a simple lunch turned into something completely unexpected for Adrian. Seated across from Ethan, the charming new expat worker, he had planned to keep things casual—but Ethan’s jokes, confidence, and effortless charm made that impossible. Adrian found himself giggling more than he should, his soft laughter filling the space between them.
Then Ethan had to say it. “You’re really cute when you laugh, Miss Adrienne.”
Adrian’s breath hitched, his face instantly turning pink. The way Ethan said it, so smooth and casual, completely caught him off guard. He tried to brush it off, twirling a strand of hair and playfully pouting, but deep down, the words lingered. And when Ethan teased that he should compliment Adrian more often, something fluttered in Adrian’s chest—a feeling he really wasn’t ready to admit yet.
