The Lethal Charm of the First Love novel Chapter 1

I never thought I'd reunite with Jordan this way.

While serving the fruit platter, I kept my head down. I was afraid he'd see my face.

Elena sat beside him.

A talented man and a beautiful woman. They were a perfect match.

"Miss," Jordan called me, "Slice the oranges."

I turned my back to him. I sliced the oranges into pieces.

A long time ago, I loved eating oranges. Jordan would always slice them for me.

He was good with a knife. He could slice each piece evenly.

Back then, I thought he loved me.

Later, I realized. It was just a habit of his. When he sliced oranges, he thought of everything except me.

Jordan didn't respond.

That person got a bit awkward, trying to make conversation, "It must've been unforgettable, right?"

The atmosphere was silent.

I don't know how much time passed. Jordan chuckled softly.

"Not really," he said.
