"Oh, forget it then." Mark Reed hung up the phone and slumped into his chair, sighing deeply.
At noon, Mark Reed left work early and specifically prepared a special lunch to deliver to Valentine Teller.
Valentine used to go out of her way to please him, but now the tables have turned, and it's her turn to win him over.
When Mark arrived at Valentine's office, she was busy drawing and didn't even notice when he walked up behind her.
Mark gently placed the lunchbox on her desk. Valentine thought it was Anastasia Archard who had brought her lunch from outside and, without looking up, said, "Back already? Wasn't the lunch good?"
After not hearing Anastasia speak for a while, Valentine curiously asked, "Cat got your tongue?"
Still no response, Valentine finally turned around to see Mark sitting not far behind her, legs crossed, smiling at her.
