Love is a Surprise--Chapter 17


The Luncheon of Confession

The very next day,Isaac managed to persuade his little sister to come with him for a luncheon.Secretly,he preferred Vincent as his brother-in-law than Philips as Vincent is a very well-read and open-minded guy,which makes communicating with him a great joy.On the other hand,he realized that Philips is a little stuck up as he is just completed his post-graduate studies,thinking that he is way greater than the simple-finance-officer Isaac.

Vincent waited impatiently for Iris's arrival as he has so many words bottled up within him waiting to gush out of his vein.He just felt like saying every single thing that is on his mind,but hoped that he would not say it in a super-disorganized way.He hoped that she would come and give him another chance.

Then,along came Iris,looking as beautiful as the last time they meet.The difference is that she cut her hair short,but still it suits her really well.As soon as she settled down at the lunch table,Vincent quickly approach her and say hi to her.

She can't really recognize him initially as he dyed his hair brown and style it really professionally because he already stepped into the working world.When he smiled,she remembered who this boyish person is.

Iris said to him that she is not supposed to talk to him as she is already engaged to Philips,albeit informally.However,Isaac popped from the back and tell her not to tell lies as they just knew each other,in other words,less than 3 months.He asked Vincent to spill the beans.

Vincent started off with the day Iris left.Vincent mentioned that the person whom he is in love with is Iris,but at that time he thought that she is just a nurse.He told Iris that the Japanese lady whom he chats with that day is his cousin who is 5 years older than him.He even laughs it off by saying that she is too old for him.Vincent even asked Iris why she haven't read any emails that he sent her.He tried so hard to contact Iris,but the number changed.There is no way to contact her except to come back after graduation.The most important thing is that he still loves her very much.

Iris was guilty.She felt that she never gave any chance for him to say anything by not checking her old email box for ages.However,she tried to be strong and said that she doesn't believe any of his sweet talks again,leaving him with Isaac without taking her lunch.Deep down she really wanted to go home soon to check her old emails just to see what has he got there for her.
