CHAPTER 14 Cancelled Partnership

  "I'm sorry, Finnian. I have a case to rush this afternoon, so I'm afraid I can't make it."

  Lucie didn't want to get too involved with Finnian. They only knew each other during college, and their relationship was not that close.

  Finnian heard the refusal in Lucie's words and was silent for a while before saying somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I just knew you were getting married and wanted to treat you to a meal. I remember when we were in college, I always seemed to be rejected whenever I had asked you out for a meal."

  In college, Finnian had many pursuers around him, and Lucie didn't remember when he had asked her out for a meal, but she seemed to recall that it did actually happen.

  However, since he had already said this much, it seemed a bit heartless to refuse him again, and they would still have to work together in the future, so Lucie thought it would be good to be amicable.

  "Lucie, I don't mean anything else. I just want to wish you well." Finnian reasured her.
