Chapter 43 Are We Friends Now?
Gianna took off her coat and laid it on the chair. “He‘s at school.”
Brian replied, “Oh. Was he alright that day?”
Gianna took a deep breath. “Not too bad. I thought he was fine until I found out
about his bruised knee after getting home. Some parts were even bleeding. I have no
idea what caused the injuries.”
Looking slightly heavy–
hearted, Brian asked, “Is that woman your younger sister from a different mother?”
“Yes,” Gianna responded rather reluctantly. No longer wanting to talk about that, Gianna in
tentionally changed the topic. “How‘s your health?”
Brian sounded rather perfunctory as well when he said, “It‘s alright.”
After that, Gianna turned around, took out a metal box from her handbag, and gave it to B
rian. “This is for you.”
This somewhat baffled Brian. “What‘s this?”
“These are candies. You should bring some

kinds of flavors and this is one of my favorite brands. It reminds me of my childhood.”
Brian was pleasantly surprised and then naturally let out a smile. “Thanks.”
Gianna responded, “Don‘t be a stranger. This is nothing compared to this expensive meal t
hat you‘re buying me.”
Brian smiled, looking like a graceful gentleman. “I guess my
life is still worth something, isn‘t it? How can one meal be sufficient to pay you back for sa
ving my life?”
“It doesn‘t work that way. It doesn‘t matter how expensive a meal is or how many times y
ou buy me one; it‘s about how you were willing to help me out when I needed it the most.
I‘ll forever remember your help. I guess that makes us even.”
Brian chuckled and commented, “It sounds like you‘re breaking up with me.”
Gianna guffawed. “That‘s not what I meant. What I‘m saying
is we don‘t have to be so formal with each other.” Looking at her, Brian appeared
to look somewhat
shy. “If you don‘t let me use this excuse again, how am I going to ask you out for a meal
next time?”
This caught Gianna off guard. She smiled and then said, “Why do we need an excuse to ha
ve a meal together? We can do this anytime.”
Brian was a little shocked to hear that. “Really? So we‘re friends?”
Gianna nodded and agreed,
“Of course. I saw your restaurant‘s sign on the internet the other day. Personally, I feel tha
t it looks heart–
warming and generous.” Smiling, Brian replied, “I don‘t want to have customers like them.
”
Gianna asked, “Will being so picky bring you any problems?”
Brian looked startled. “Problems? It‘s my restaurant, so it‘s my call.”
At
this juncture, the server showed up. “I‘m sorry to interrupt, but your food is ready.” Gianna
“Yes. All the time back in the days.”

Now? Gianna agreed, “Not too bad. I‘d have one of them whenever
I was in a bad mood. Something sweet can really brighten your day. Try
it. It‘s pretty effective. I like the green ones the most–they‘re apple–
flavored.” Brian opened the candy box and picked up a
green candy. “You‘re making me want to try it.” Gianna laughed heartily. “Look at you. Let‘s

rather flirtatiously, “Silas, what do you mean
by that? You promised me before.” Silas remained silent. Meanwhile, Gianna smiled awkwa
